Title: A magnificent collection of Schubert's informal music
Product review: This old CD, once marketed by Musical Heritage Society, contains two CDs of simply wonderful singing by Horst Laubenthal, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and some of the other greats of German lieder from the 1970s.You won't recognize any of the songs on the disks -- duets, trios and quartets with two male and female parts -- but they are wonderful. I vividly recall an outstanding song about "Punch", the stuff you drink at parties.There isn't much point in giong into detail of all the songs on this set. It's often been said that Schubert's Octet is about 8 players sitting around, having a few beers, then making music. That's about what's going on here too.
