{"product_id":"schubert-davies-middleton-die-schone-mullerin-music-cd-635212069721","title":"Schubert \/ Davies \/ Middleton - Die Schone Mullerin - Music CD","description":"Renowned performers Iestyn Davies and Joseph Middleton perform Schubert's tragic song-cycle Die schne Mllerin (The Beautiful Maid of the Mill). Adapting poetry by Wilhelm Mller, the genesis of D. 795 marks the beginning of the end of Schubert's life; he discovered that he had contracted syphilis sometime in late 1822 or early 1823, and it was in 1823 that he composed this tale of a poet-singer who dies in the aftermath of erotic experience. Released under the own label of St John's College, Cambridge, this recording acts as a celebration of Iestyn Davies's formative period at the college; beginning there as a 7-year-old probationer in 1987, he progressed to become Head Chorister, before ultimately returning to study as a choral scholar. Alongside full texts and translations, the booklet includes a background on the work by noted Lied expert Susan Youens, as well as reflections on Iestyn's time at St John's from the College's past and present Directors of Music - Christopher Robinson and Andrew Nethsingha.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210709311730,"sku":"SGUK697.2","price":23.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/4041854-2776288.jpg?v=1778889094","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/schubert-davies-middleton-die-schone-mullerin-music-cd-635212069721","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
