Discover an extraordinary recording with masterpieces of Schubert, Heine, and Wolf. This album includes the hauntingly beautiful Winterreise by Schubert, the evocative Heine-Lieder, and the deeply moving Michelangelo-Lieder by Hugo Wolf.
Explore the depths of German Romanticism with this extraordinary recording centered on Winterreise by Franz Schubert. Composed in 1827 and set to poems by Wilhelm Müller, Winterreise stands as one of the most profound and haunting song cycles ever written.
Across 24 songs, Schubert traces a solitary wanderer’s journey through frozen landscapes of heartbreak, memory, illusion, and existential despair. From the quiet resignation of Gute Nacht to the desolate stillness of Der Leiermann, the cycle unfolds as a deeply introspective meditation on loneliness and the fragility of hope. The album continues with selected Heine settings from Schwanengesang, including Der Atlas, Die Stadt, and the harrowing Der Doppelgänger. In these late songs, Schubert’s harmonic language grows darker and more daring, capturing the irony, bitterness, and surreal atmosphere of Heinrich Heine’s poetry with striking intensity. Completing the program are the deeply moving 3 Gedichte von Michelangelo by Hugo Wolf. Composed at the end of Wolf’s life, these settings of texts by Michelangelo are intimate, philosophical, and profoundly personal—music suspended between resignation and transcendence.
Together, these masterpieces represent the pinnacle of the German Lied tradition: music of poetic sensitivity, harmonic boldness, and emotional truth.
