I was introduced to An die ferne Gelibete when asked to study the songs for a summer school in Sussex and was paired with a pianist to work on them with during the week I was there. I love them and have since had a go at Andenken. I am fond of that one too, and have listened to a recording Schreier's on youtube.
The only Beethoven lieder recordings I ever heard, but I can't imagine them done any better. Schreier is his usual marvelous. Glad you tell people about these beautiful songs and performances.
A wonderful singer who became a marvellous conductor of sacred works. I love his lieder recordings. Glorious Schumann, Schubert & Wolf...Schreier trivia: he named his tow sons Torsten & Ralf, after the great Dresden based Swedish tenor...
I was quite surprised when I saw Beethoven’s Erlkönig. It is so similar to Schubert’s! Well, the galloping piano accompaniment at least. Was Schubert inspired by this or the other way around? 🤔
Beethoven's lieder by Peter Schreier and Walter Olbertz are included in the "complete" Beethoven works published by Brilliant Classics....at least in the first box set that came out.
Peter Schreier also recorded a Lieder CD with András Schiff, marvelously titled "An die ferne Geliebte," which includes "Adelaide" among 16 other lieder.
As I generally prefer a baritone in songs over a tenor, and complete editions over partial ones (ok, Schreier seems complete as well), my go-to is Prey with Hokanson on the Capriccio 3-CD set. I mean - it's Prey! How could it possibly not be top notch? Being the silly OCD-er I am, I don't think I'll ever listen to anything other than the Ferne Geliebte cycle, but that doesn't mean I'll ever get rid of it.

Peter Schreier is decomposing - He is one of my favourite lieder-singers ever since I discovered his Decca Schubert recordings!

Love this lieder series! Beethoven’s lieder are superb - and so were Brahms - all 10 CDs worth. 😊 I reallly enjoyed Prey’s Beethoven compilation.

Unlikely; Beethoven's wrote it before Schubert was born, and never published it. I agree that the comparison with Schubert's setting is fascinating.
@@SittaCarolinensis Ah gotcha, Schubert never heard of/ seen B’s version of the work then. I thought it was part of his published Goethe songs.
@@deVriesOP125 Beethoven's sketch for Erlkönig dates from 1795. It was completed by Reinhold Becker in 1897.
@@SittaCarolinensis Thanks for the clarification!
