Song compositon was of central importance in Pfitzner's life's work. Already in the works of his youth he developed his own style, and his yearning for the gardens of romanticism found its inimitable expression.

Moreover, those who occupy themselves with the romantic lied would have only a very incomplete picture without Pfitzner's contributions in this genre.

It is all the more astonishing that this is the first complete recordings of these gems, released at a special CPO price.
