Fischer_Dieskau and Moore recorded this song cycle many times over the decades and this was their last recording before Gerald Moore's death in 1987. Fischer-Dieskau's warmth and clarity of diction make him the ideal exponent of this music and Gerald Moore wrote one of the most useful performance guides for the Schubert song cycles, not just for pianist, but for singers too.

The bleak subject of the cycle is rendered with a deep and poignant sadness born of love, rather than bitterness. This is one of my all time favourite recordings. I cannot recommend it hightly enough.
