Come in out of the heat and enjoy some cool classical music chosen by WFIU's Music Director David Wood.
The last thing anyone needs is ANOTHER recording of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, right? Not necessarily.
Franz Schubert may not have invented German art song or "Lieder" but he almost single-handedly cemented its importance in the development of music in the 19th century. He composed nearly 600 songs, many of which continue to play a crucial role in the training of the classical voice. On this recording from the Roméo Records label, soprano Sharon Rostorf-Zamir and pianist Daniel Gortler perform a selection of Schubert's best-loved lieder.
