Schubert Winterreise D. 911
Schubert鈥檚 emotionally harrowing winter journey as performed at the 成人快手 studios by recent New Generation Artist, the baritone James Newby and the pianist Joseph Middleton.
Schubert wrote his epic winter journey when, as one of his friends observed, 鈥楲ife had lost its rosiness and winter had come upon him.鈥 In this final song cycle, Schubert searched out and set twenty-four poems by the Romantic, Wilhelm M眉ller, which tell of a lonely traveller who ventures out into the snow: 鈥淎 stranger I arrived; a stranger I depart.鈥 As he passes his lover鈥檚 house, the poet writes 鈥楪oodnight鈥 on her gate post and so begins this harrowing journey of twilight hues and bleak landscapes, of snow and ice. As Schubert said, these songs are: 鈥淭ruly terrible, they have affected me more than any others.鈥 Winterreise is one of the greatest journeys in all music.
Presented by Kate Molleson.
