I love Wunderlich's on DG more than any other (I have only about 5 or 6
Schoener Muellerins all together). There are some live ones by him too,
but I don't know them.

Aksel Schiotz/Gerald Moore on Danacord, among the greatest Lieder performances
ever recorded. This is one of my favorite recordings of anything, and has been
for about 30 years, since I first bought the Seraphim LP issue on a lark. No
other singer known to me, including Fischer-Dieskau, Prey, Wunderlich, Husch -
excellent though each of these is in some respects - comes close to Schiotz's
musicality and insight in this music. As I've said here before, just compare
each of these performers' versions of "Ungeduld," and you will see that
Schiotz's is the most beautiful and the most poetically insightful one. His
diction is also better than anyone else's, by the way.

This subject has come up before, and several other Lieder aficionados disagree
with me on this. You may want to run a Google search if these dissenters do not
speak up in this thread.

In some ways, comparing tenor and baritone versions of this cycle is fruitless,
since they make such different impressions on a listener. I would expect a
Quasthoff version of the cycle to be superb, based on his glorious
Schwanengesang. I'm sure he'll record it at some point.

Pregardien/DHM, Holzmair/Tudor (better sung, more spontaneous than his
Philips remake), Fassbaender/DG, Bostridge/Hyperion, Wunderlich/DG,
de Mey/Ricercar (an odd choice which I doubt many would agree with) all
survived a recent ruthless cull, along with Schiotz (grudgingly). I may be
forgetting something, but I don't think so. If forced to choose just one, it
would be a toss-up between the first two with perhaps a nod to Pregardien
(which, of course, is of no use if you don't like fortepianos; likewise De Mey).

I don't agree. Schiotz (my favorite) is often more suggesting than
emphasizing the emotional content, but at the end it's IMO much more
effective.

I imprinted on Fischer-Dieskau/Moore from 1961 and it's still my
favorite; however, it is really better to have a tenor in this cycle.
Schiotz/Moore would be my first choice, followed (somewhat distantly)
by Rainer Trost or Werner Guera. A very interesting version is Peter
Schreier with Konrad Ragossnig playing the guitar.

Those would be my choices, too, but I'd add Ian Partridge, and
Wunderlich for sheer vocal beauty. Speaking of sheer vocal beauty,
I'd also recommend Georgi Vinogradov's version in Russian, if it were
available.

> A very interesting version is Peter

Schreier recorded the cycle three other times, with Olbertz (1971),
Zehr (1980ish), and Schiff (1989). There's not a lot to choose
between them with respect to Schreier, who's pretty consistent over
the eighteen year span. If anything, he's drier of voice on the first
one, but that may be the fault of the recording. Although Schiff is
the best of the pianists, the recording with Zehr uses a fortepiano,
and the recorded sound is slightly more flattering to Schreier's
voice.

singing it, I learned if through F-D and still treasure his

With his incredible technique he is the only singer I know of who sings

Even though Fi-Di was a baritone, the tenory timbre of the voice in that 61 Schone Mullerin works for me. With Wunderlich its important to get the second of the two commercial sets - a great improvement over the first both for him and the pianist.

Which grace notes exactly? At which lines of text? I'm not trying to be
faux-naif, I've never had music lessons so the text is a clearer anchor
for me.

Would it be the high notes he sings on the line "bis das Meer will trinken"?

He's certainly not the only one then, because this reviewer hears a
grace note there in Padmore's recordings, and comments on it infavourably:
http://www.concertonet.com/scripts/cd.php?ID_cd=2081

(And he's probably forgetting that Fischer-Dieskau, whose recording he
seems to like, is even more pronounced in his grace note there.)

Right you are, on the "trin" syllable.

I've just skimmed this review. On this point he complains that the
singer is awkward on the grace note. However, he does acknowledge that
it is a grace note. I've got a number of recordings and everybody other
than Fi-Di sings an appogiatura (two even notes). In my printed scores
it is clearly a grace note.

I've always found this spot problematic. The appogiatura is much
smoother and fits better into the rest of the piece. As well as Fi-Di
does it, it's still a tiny jolt. Schubert wrote so fast that I wonder if
he made a mistake. But if he made a mistake, it was a mistake of adding
something (the slash that turns an eighth-note into a grace note) rather
than accidentally leaving something out.

This almost makes me want to hear this performance, but the review is
certainly a turn-off.

Agreed. Wunderlich was still a work in progress when he died so
tragically young. He had progressed to a very high level with that later
version however.

I agree about Schiotz, but not about Quasthoff, whose voice just doesn't seem right to me for this cycle.

>Agree who those who feel that Wunderlich is vocally glorious but that otherwise there's not much there.

Ditto. And frankly, I don't think that it was a matter of age. If a singer doesn't have much imagination or interpretive insight at 35, they're not going to develop it.

An somewhat obscure but nicely sung version is Francisco Araiza's, recorded at his best. Always nice to hear Schubert sung by a tenor who isn't vocally compromised (which is how I view both Patzak, Padmore, and Bostridge):

I don't think that Hynninen did nearly as well in Die Schoene Muellerin as he did in Winterreise. The former needs a brighter sound than Hynninen produces.

I always like to hear familiar music arranged for a medium different
than the original. Here are some such versions of Schöne Müllerin
I've found on Spotify:

The Erlkings: guitar, cello, percussion, tuba with tenor voice (guitar
player);
Two guitars: Franssen, Steen bergen with Maarten Koningberger
baritone;
Male choir and piano: Camerata Vocale conducted by Gus Anton with
Sigrid Althoff piano;
Mechanical duck: selection of 6 numbers
Single guitar: Eapen Leubner tenor,Michael Bevers guitar.

Anybody know of others besides completely instrumental ones? I wish
somebody would do a full orchestral version so more opera singers
would try it. Not modernized like the cacophonous mess that Hans
Zender did with the Winterreise.

It's a shame that some of the masters of re-arrangements are no longer with us. I absolutely love Berio's arrangement of Falla's 7 Popular Spanish Songs and Schoenberg's arrangements of J.Strauss, especially the Kaiser Waltzer.

Certainly not a bad choice.
