ARNOLD SCHOENBERG / Schubert: Complete Secular Choral Works (7CD) - A voyage of discovery through a lesser-known area of Schubert's rich and prolific output, this collection comprises seven themed CDs: Transience; Love; Eternity; Heroism; Nature; Celebrations, and Circle of Friends. "Each disc has it's share of the treasures," wrote Gramophone, "The Arnold Schoenberg Choir is a fine body of musicians... they show a virtually unflawed beauty and opulence of tone." Vocal soloists include Ruth Ziesak, Angelika Kirchschlager, Christoph Pr�gardien and Robert Holl, and among the featured pianists are Andr�s Schiff and Andreas Staier. This complete edition of Schubert's secular choral works won major prizes in Germany, France, Belgium and Japan on it's first release in 1997. WARNER CLASSICS
