Schubert lieder for discerning musicians. The New Schubert Edition is the only scholarly-critical edition that will, once completed, include Franz Schubert's lieder in their entirety. In response to the rising expectations of performers and listeners alike, all the lieder will be published over the next few years in performing editions containing the text of Walther Durr, the eminent Schubert scholar and former Managing Editor of the New Schubert Edition. The new series will substitute the edition jointly published by Baerenreiter and G. Henle since 1977.

• Introduction by Walther Durr focuses on peculiarities in the genesis and performance history of each lied and provides solid information on performance practice
• Adopts straight-forward ordering principle from the New Schubert Edition: first by opus number, then in chronological order
• Complete transposition into three vocal registers finally allows every singer to work with the latest findings of Schubert scholarship
• The edition is scheduled to include eleven volumes. Each volume will appear in three editions; one for high voice, one for middle voice and one for low voice.

"There are still too few singers who use the scholarly-critical edition of Schubert's lieder with the Urtext from the New Schubert Edition. However, the awareness to work with the musical text and its transmission is growing, even among solo vocalists. The edition has been produced, adhering where possible to the original musical text and without editorial emendations. This enables singers and accompanists to make their own interpretations of the lieder, while keeping as close to Schubert's original intentions as possible. Not only are editorial decisions clearly identified -- this is to be expected in the critical editions of today -- but Schubert's notational idiosyncrasies are fully retained, e.g. the exact placement of dynamic marks and the often vague distinction between crescendo hairpins and accents. The edition gives suggestions for rendering appoggiaturas and grace-notes and includes alternative versions in the appendix. This makes it abundantly clear that introductions and other ornamental embellishments were fully in keeping with the musical practice of Schubert's time. We are delighted to learn that this high-quality edition will now be published." - Christoph Pregardien, Andreas Staier
