Schubert - Winterreise

Over Schubert - Winterreise

• The sheer number of recordings and monographs about Franz Schubert's song cycle "Winterreise" alone testifies to its magnificence. Even so, specialists are still undecided whether this work truly constitutes a song cycle. Its 24 songs, settings of texts by the poet Wilhelm Muller, were published on two separate occasions: one in February 1827, and one in October 1827. However, the narrative of Muller's poems appears straightforward: a young man is rejected, and wanders off on an aimless journey in the midst of winter. The music's atmosphere is gloomy and downcast. In this performance, baritone Thomas Quasthoff performs Schubert's song cycle accompanied by Daniel Barenboim on piano. This performance was recorded at the Philharmonie in Berlin, Germany.
