I am a great fan of Schiotz too. There also exists a Pearl CD with Aksel Schiotz. I ' m assuming that the the danish, Danacord Recordsings that Lloyd Hanson mentioned are superior, but the Pearl recordings may be more accessible to many of us. According to the notes on the Pearl CD, Schiotz. had been a schoolteacher before becoming a singer. The notes also mentions that Gerald Moore thought that Askel Schiotz was one "the few modest tenors" that he had ever met..."He was quiet, he was modest and this is a miracle in a tenor." Love that quote. I remembered it because I thought it may come in handy someday. ;-)
