About

Christopher Glynn continues his “Schubert in English” series by joining baritone Roderick Williams and soprano Rowan Pierce for songs of loneliness and companionship, nature and the seasons, faith and doubt, wandering and homecoming, caution and consolation – all in new English versions by Jeremy Sams.

“No songwriter has more to say to us than Schubert. I commissioned these new translations in the hope of bringing his songs to a wider audience, as well as offering a fresh perspective to those who know them well.

“A good translation is an act of homage – a retelling, not a replacement – and like a screen adaptation of a classic novel, can be a stepping stone to the original, or enjoyed in its own right.

“We hope listeners enjoy these new versions in which Jeremy Sams recreates the immediacy of Schubert’s storytelling for a modern English-speaking audience.”

– Christopher Glynn
