NEW SCHUBERT RELEASE FROM BOSTRIDGE.

Schubert's Lieder have proved a rich source of inspiration for many outstanding artists over the years, not least Classical Brit Award-winner Ian Bostridge. The charismatic tenor says that he wouldn't have been a singer but for the Austrian composer and his 600-plus songs. His special relationship with Schubert has again been documented by EMI Classics, with a second album of Lieder set for release on July 9.

Bostridge's brand of intelligent musicianship has secured his place as one of the most acclaimed and respected of modern singers, a status supported by a strong EMI campaign surrounding the Schubert release and a related marketing push to raise the singer's UK profile. The album's launch is preceded on July 8 by a South Bank Show special on the singer, who will also be the subject of feature articles in The Guardian, Sunday Telegraph and Sunday Herald. Bostridge is scheduled to perform live on Radio 3's In Tune programme and appear in interview on Classic FM's newsnight strand.
