THE HYPERION SCHUBERT EDITION: AN ACCOMPANIST’S MEMORIES
The Hyperion Schubert Edition: An accompanist’s memories
It took Franz Schubert eighteen years (1810 –1828) to write his lieder. It has taken Hyperion
Records exactly the same amount of time (1987–2005) to record all the songs, to issue them on
thirty-seven separate discs (with over sixty solo singers), and now to re-issue the vocal music with
piano in an edition remastered in the order of their composition. Otto Erich Deutsch established
a chronology in his catalogue (1951); this was superseded by a posthumous second edition
(1978) that re-dated many compositions while retaining Deutsch’s numerical sequence. This
catalogue is now in itself out of date. Despite advances in Schubertian scholarship (paper tests
and so on) work-order is a problem that will neither be solved entirely nor to everyone’s
satisfaction. (Putting the songs in alphabetical order by title, as in John Reed’s indispensable
Schubert Song Companion , is a solution that is not possible on disc.) Some of the compositions’
dates are very precise (day, month and year), but sometimes only a month is known (which
year?) or a year (which month?), and autographs are sometimes undated. Nevertheless, this is
the first time in the history of the gramophone that the entire body of Schubert songs has been
available to the listener in a chronological sequence. Included with the lieder are all the vocal
quartets and other part songs with piano – indeed a more accurate description of the set would
be The Complete Vocal Music with Piano , although even this does not take into account a
number of unaccompanied items that were included because they throw light on the accom-
panied settings of the same poem. There are forty discs in this new collection; thirty-seven of
these feature the material already issued, and an extra three, more recently recorded, offer music
by Schubert’s friends and contemporaries. Some of these are songs he knew, music that inspired
him; others are songs (often to texts which Schubert was later to set, or had already set) created
by people whose lives in one way or another touched his own – even if at a distance. Every com-
poser on these three supplementary discs was working during some part of Schubert’s lifetime.
The Hyperion Schubert Edition came into being because of the daring and initiative of the
late Ted Perry, founder of the label that contains his own name in its second and third syllables.
In the middle to late 1980s it was a particular joy to be caught up in the orbit of Ted’s confidence,
his optimism and generosity of spirit, and his unswerving belief in his chosen artists. Although
he was a businessman, he trusted his own ears more than the critics’, and he was not afraid to
listen to his heart. At that happy time a favourable climate in the classical music industry
provided strong winds in the sails of his enterprise.
But this is to rush forward in the story. I had first met Mr Perry in 1978 when I accompanied
the tenor Martyn Hill in a recording for another company – he had not yet founded his own.
Fortunately Ted took a liking to my work and I was among the earlier artists to appear on his new
label. The founder singers of The Songmakers’ Almanac featured in a series of Hyperion LPs:
Voices of the Night , Venezia , Voyage à Paris , España and Le Bestiaire . I then proposed an
album of two LPs, a Schubertiade featuring these same four singers – Felicity Lott, Ann Murray,
Anthony Rolfe Johnson and Richard Jackson – in four, differently themed programmes, one per
side, that combined well known and rarely heard Schubert lieder. Our Schubertiade was very well
received in early 1985 (there was even a Gramophone cover), but what I did not realize was that
these discs were an important audition for me, not only as far as Ted was concerned, but also
Lucy, the ardent Schubertian who was the lady in his life at the time, and who had turned pages
for me at the sessions. One night when the three of us were having dinner, Ted asked me what I
would really like to do in terms of recording; I replied (as would most accompanists): ‘All the
Schubert songs, of course.’ In a few seconds the deal was done over a glass of wine, and a phone
call the next morning proved Ted a man who meant to keep his word. This project was considered
dotty by many connoisseurs at the time; the great critic Desmond Shawe-Taylor assured a
colleague that it would never be completed, despite its promising beginnings.
But that again rushes forward in the story; how to begin had been the big question. Ted and
I knew that such a bold project needed the support of an auspicious singer to get it started. I had
accompanied Dame Janet Baker in several recitals since 1978, and I knew that her Schubert
