Released in 2009 by Deutsche Grammophon, this three-disc set spans a total of 58 tracks, offering a comprehensive journey through Schubert's lyrical genius.

Each track, performed with exquisite sensitivity, paints a vivid picture of the protagonist's journey, from the initial wanderings to the ultimate despair.
