#NewRelease! From today Samuel Hasselhorn’s new CD „Schubert: Hoffnung“ on Harmonia Mundi, the latest chapter in his Schubert 200 project with pianist Ammiel Bushakevitz, is available! Their collaboration with Harmonia Mundi now includes three albums:
• Schubert: Die schöne Müllerin (September 2023)
• Schubert: Licht und Schatten (February 2025)
• Schubert: Hoffnung (April 2026)
Each volume follows Schubert’s songs composed exactly 200 years earlier, building a long term portrait of the composer that will culminate in 2028. On Hoffnung, Samuel and Ammiel focus on Schubert’s 1826 Lieder, capturing the year’s delicate balance of fragility, introspection, and quiet hope.
Congratulations to Samuel and Ammiel on this beautiful new addition to their Schubert cycle with Harmonia Mundi.
