I know Eric Saeden is singing in one SSD recording - but I thought there
were two - so which are you referring to? Though Monica Groop might be on
CPO, which I also own. Many people could tell me the music is fine, I am
not going to comment that right now, but the text writer (which happens to
be Petterrssoooon himself] is not the one I would give the Nobel Price in
litterature. No, Gustav Allan certainly didn't know what he was doing
here.

The Swedish conductor and composer Eskil Hemberg has made a choral setting
of the "Barefusslieder" which refers to the Schubert song.
