From baritone Roderick Williams, who has specialized mostly in 20th century music, comes this collection of Schubert songs, modernistically designed in solid gray. You might call it an intellectual Schubert reading, with Williams contributing his own detailed notes and realizing these details in song. The overall concept is the best part: by choosing a common theme in Schubert's music, that of the wanderer, Williams can explore how it was treated by Schubert and the various poets in his circle and beyond. This is a novel way of slicing up Schubert's output, allowing him, for example, to extract the poems by Ludwig Rellstab from the posthumous collection Schwanengesang, D. 957. This is easily how a performance at one of the Schubertiades might have gone, and the effect is to place the listener in the midst of Schubert's creative world. You can find creamier Schubert, and certainly more forceful Schubert, but Williams' deliberate traversal yields many rewards: sample Ständchen (from Schwanengesang) to hear how Williams quietly finds subtle balances in these songs. The pair of Goethe songs, including the small Wandrers Nachtlied, D. 768, is especially delicious. Delphian's church sound is clear but tends to rob the music of intimacy. On balance, though, this is an unusual find for Schubert connoisseurs.
