With 599 entries in his catalogue of Lieder, which exploits the potential of the lyric vocal genre to the full, Schubert is the undisputed master of the Lied. He was the first to give it such prominence and his work is imbued with the theme of solitude so keenly cherished by German Romanticism. As we do not yet know which pieces Philippe Jaroussky will select from this huge catalogue, our thoughts turn to the great singers who have immortalised this repertoire in the past, from baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau to soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. It is now the turn of Philippe Jaroussky and Jérôme Ducros to take up the challenge and to combine their understanding of scores with their powers of musical and vocal expression.
