And who is better suited to introduce the volume than the mezzo-soprano Brigitte Fassbaender, who has played an important role as an interpreter in bringing the ballad composer back into the public eye?
The stylistic spectrum in this volume ranges from the "Erlkönig - one of the Ballads Op. 1 with which Loewe established his early fame - to the popular ballads of Opus 20 and up to the late works.
