Graham Johnson - Songs by Schubert's friends and contemporaries

These generously filled discs were included as the �bonus� discs in the forty-disc boxed set The Complete Songs by Franz Schubert CDS44201/40. They are now available as a set of three and are presented with comprehensive commentaries by Graham Johnson which firmly establish the composers�many of them barely known today�in the context of that flowering of musical creativity at the zenith of which later generations have placed Schubert himself.
