Lieder can be transposed for another voice AFAIC but I *hate* Esswood's
"Dichterliebe".  I have it and for curiosity's sake I'll keep it (and in
earlier music like Bach I think Esswood is doing very well).  Still, I am
not familiar with any other recording of Romantic Lieder by a countertenor
and would be most interested to be informed whether there are any
available.
