Does Wolf qualify as unsung?  He's among the most frequently heard lieder composers.  Or is it that this is rare Wolf, not the umpteenth recording of the "Italienisches Liederbuch"?

It's rare Wolf, John.

Let's hope, then, that this recording is the silver bullet that will slay this rare Wolf's exclusion from the repertory.
