	RECORD BRIEF - New York Times
		Schubert: "Fierabras" Karita Mattila and Cheryl Studer, sopranos; Josef Protschka, tenor; Thomas Hampson, baritone; Arnold Schoenberg Chorus; Chamber Orchestra of Europe conducted by Claudio Abbado.
		Composed in 1823 but not performed until 1897, "Fierabras" has long been dismissed as further proof of Schubert's unsure grasp of operatic dramaturgy.
		But like Weber, whose "Frei schutz" was outnumbered by musically rich scores with wacky librettos, Schubert offers ample musical felicities to compensate for a meandering, bland libretto.

		Much of the music is of high quality (especially in "Alfonso und Estrella," "Fierabras" and the attractive Easter oratorio "Lazarus," closely related to the operas), showing individuality of style in both accompanied recitative and orchestral colour if little sense of dramatic progress.
		Among the choral works, the partsongs and the masses rely on homophonic texture and bold harmonic shifts for their effect; the masses in A-flat and E-flat are particularly successful.
