Wolf: Mörike-Lieder, ,

Among Hugo Wolf's three hundred-odd songs, the fifty-three settings he made of poems by Eduard Mörike are numerically the largest group. He had owned a copy of the poems since the age of eighteen and they came to mean so much to him that he confessed that he could not be parted from them even for an hour. Werner Güra & Jan Schultsz recorded a selection of songs, reissued here, that reflect the essential characteristics of the whole cycle. Werner Güra's many recordings for harmonia mundi include Dichterliebe and Die schöne Müllerin, both of which were Editor's Choice selections in Gramophone, and he also appears on René Jacobs' Gramophone Award winning recording of Haydn's The Seasons.
