You will find them lighter in general Jared....more akin to Schubert I would think. I will be interested to read your thoughts eventually.Jared wrote: Thank you Fergus.... I have it on the shelf, and will listen to it in due course, side by side with the Haydn set which has arrived. I have been listening to more and more Romantic era German Lieder/ Song of late, and it will be interesting to hear some German songs from a slightly earlier period than Brahms, Schumann and even Schubert....
