Format: CD
Price: $189.98
Description: Recorded over a period of nine years (1994-2003) and released over an even longer stretch, this cycle purports to have all the Loewe lieder fit to hear (presumably, jingoistic and bloodthirsty Teutonic poems were the victims sacrificed). Unlike most of their budget-price reissues, cpo here puts the CDs into paper sleeves and packages them in a box the width of four or five CDs. 21 CDs. 17 singers, Cord Garben (piano). Texts and translations on CD-ROM included.
