To the two collections of lieder found after the death of Schubert, the editor Haslinger added a fourteenth lied and gave the overall title of 'Swan Song'. Not a veritable cycle, but very much immersed in the intimacy of the composer's last moments of life, nostalgic, heart-rending, desperate and eventually soothing, it is this journey that the performers undertake here, with an Erard piano from 1859, miraculously preserved, bringing a unique colour to this masterpiece.
