Schweppe,jasper / Fukuda,riko - Schubert: Die Schone Mullerin - Music CD

The music of Schubert breathes the romance of it's day, and wakes in me a yearning for that timeless time. In my performance, I try to reach as near as I can to Schubert's intention, by thinking not so much from a bel canto perspective as from declamation of the text. I try to escape today's manner of singing by approaching his songs from the 18th century.
