The choice of Lieder collected on ‘Nachtgesang’ is summed up by the title of a Goethe poem: they are all ‘Nachtgesänge’ (Nocturnal Songs) of varying kinds: lullabies, romantic images of evening, and songs about vanity and death.All are documents of the close collaboration and mutual inspiration between Schubert and his poet as well as musician friends.Sought after for baroque cantatas, passions, operas of the 18th-19th c. all the way to contemporary music and lieder, a genre she especially focuses on, soprano Angelika Huber is highly committed to rediscovering composers of the 19th c.
