Markus Eiche, one of the most sympathetic baritones yet in Naxos’s Schubert Song Edition, adds his voice to those of Schubert’s literary friends: as a robust Huntsman and Sailor in settings of Schubert’s beloved Franz von Schober; a compelling Minstrel in Joseph Kenner’s long ballad; and a noble Greek and Nordic bard in two poems by von Bruchmann.
