"Lucia Popp will be greatly missed as one of the most unique and versatile sopranos ever recorded in the German Repertoire. This Cd I truely believe is her last great recording. The warmth and distinct vocality she brings to Schubert is as memorable as it is moving. Popp skillfully jumps through songs from various periods in Schubert's life with attention to detail and the evocative qualities a vocalist needs to carry us into Schubert's world."

"This set is focus on Schubert's young period of songs in 1816, but the interesting thing is that the singer is Lucia Popp, who sang this album in her late period of life. I couldn't imagine this linkage at first, however, anything it's clear when I began to listen.
How beautiful and pure voices Lucia Popp performed.
She expressed Schubert full of energy, hope and love. That's a young man's mood, and a fresh composer's power.
When you tried *Am Tage aller Seelen*, D343 and *Phidile*,D500, you would understand my means.
I feel so regret that we couldn't listen more Popp's performance again, but this album could prove her legency singing."
