Simon Keenlyside, Bariton

An evening of Schubert's »Winterreise« based on poems by Wilhelm Müller is the pinnacle of Lieder recitals. In this cycle, nature is an image of the traveller's mental state. He wanders through a frozen, bleak landscape and is repeatedly caught up in nostalgic memories. Schubert sets the poetic images to music with eloquent sounds.
