Schubert: Winterreise

Joyce DiDonato

Classical - Released April 9, 2021 | Warner Classics

Hi-Res Booklet
World famous mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato and conductor-pianist Yannick Nézet-Séguin join forces to take on one of the most brilliant song cycles ever written: Schubert's Winterreise. DiDonato, however, casts a different light on this beloved cycle of 24 songs in telling their story from the perspective of the woman, the lost love. Nancy Plum, from Town Topics (Princeton) writes: "The question of what happened to the woman who sent the narrator on a tortuous journey was not answered in the Wilhelm Müller poetry from which Schubert drew the text, but DiDonato created a scenario onstage of being that woman, reading from the narrator's journal and responding to the inherent despair". "What stood out was the heavy emotion that came through in her singing, as she lingered on a syllable here, pressed her tone there. She created vivid feelings with her contrasts", wrote The New York Classical Review about Joyce Didonato's interpretation. © Warner Classics

Schubert: Winterreise, Op. 89, D. 911 (Live)

Ian Bostridge

Classical - Released August 1, 2019 | PentaTone

Hi-Res Booklet
Just like Pears and Britten, Ian Bostridge worked with the composer Thomas Adès on this recording of Schubert's Winterreise, made at a concert at London's famous Wigmore Hall in 2018. With his unique voice and style, the British singer divides opinion. Love him or hate him, he evokes strong feelings. As we fall into the former camp, we couldn't recommend this recording strongly enough. It is very different from the studio version recorded some years before for EMI, with the great Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes. Compared to that splendid record, this new version is simpler, almost calmer. Thomas Adès makes use of original manuscripts to build a fine accompaniment, that gives voice to the overwhelming melancholy of the young composer who knows himself to be doomed. Fatal wanderings, seen through a lens of solitude, regret and resignation. The first volume of a trilogy which will eventually bring together Schubert's great cycles, in live recordings by these same musicians. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Schubert: Winterreise

Mark Padmore

Classical - Released January 19, 2018 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
Recorded in the Mennonite (Anabaptist) church in Haarlem, the Netherlands, this recording unfolds in very reverberant acoustic surroundings, giving it a slightly unreal aura that is perfectly suited to the sad, timeless poems of Wilhelm Müller's Winter Journey (Winterreise) set to music by Franz Schubert.Whether it's a dream or a nightmare, the overwhelming density of Schubert's message calls for artists who can embody this hopeless solitude. Mark Padmore had already recorded the cycle with Paul Lewis playing a modern piano. Kristian Bezuidenhout's personality, and his Viennese pianoforte, and Mark Padmore's light tenor voice (probably close to the one in which Schubert sang this cycle) give these pages an even more touching gravity, as they take aim at the prime of youth.The complicity and the mutual listening between the singer and the pianoforte form the basis of these two artists' work. The perceptible affectation in the singer's art is tempered by the simplicity and unfailing support of the pianoforte accompaniment. Here, this surprising romantic wandering takes on unusual and disconcerting resonances, opening up unsuspected horizons. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Schubert: Winterreise

Franz Schubert

Classical - Released November 19, 2014 | Challenge Classics

Hi-Res Booklet
Franz Schubert's song cycle Winterreise was composed in 1827, the year before his premature death. The tones of depression and desolation that dominate this setting of 24 poems by Wilhelm Müller might seem to be a reflection of Schubert's own gloomy state of mind as he faced mortality, though the depiction of a lonely wanderer who cuts himself off from the world was a commonplace of Romantic literature and was not necessarily a projection of the composer's emotional state. Even so, Winterreise is not a cheerful work, and performances of it often emphasize a brooding tone, as well as dark sonorities. The way Winterreise is presented by tenor Christoph Prégardien and pianist Michael Gees on this 2013 Challenge Classics release prevents an easy analysis, for much of the music's darkness is alleviated by the singer's lyrical tone and the accompanist's light touch. Indeed, the sound of the performance and the transparent quality of the super audio recording make this one of the brighter sounding Winterreise performances available, so much so that listeners should sample it to see if it meets their expectations. With that caveat in mind, this is a sensitive interpretation that conveys tenderness and gentleness, and Prégardien's presentation is a refreshing, if unexpected, change of pace.© TiVo

Schubert & Burgmüller: Works for Arpeggione

Lorenz Duftschmid

Chamber Music - Released August 5, 2022 | CPO

Hi-Res Booklet
Franz Schubert's so-called Arpeggione Sonata owes its peculiar name to a long-forgotten string instrument that was usually referred to in Vienna in the 1820s as the "bowed guitar" or "guitar-violoncello". It was an invention of the Viennese instrument maker Georg Stauffer and was quite popular for about a decade. After that, it disappeared into the annals of history. If Schubert had not dedicated his famous sonata to the instrument, the arpeggione would have been long forgotten. But this way, the memory of the instrument was kept alive. To complement the great Arpeggione Sonata, soloist Lorenz Duftschmid has recorded five Schubert songs in instrumental versions (the poems in question are recited before the instrumental version in each case) as well as three Nocturnes by an almost forgotten Romantic from the Rhineland: Friedrich Burgmüller. His Trois Nocturnes, available in various versions, sound most beautiful and full of emotion on arpeggione and guitar, the two instruments so closely related. © CPO

Franz Schubert: Winterreise, D.911, Op.89

Hermann Prey

Classical - Released January 1, 1973 | Decca

Schubert knew madness. He knew it to the depths of his soul and feared it. And out of his fear he wrote the greatest monument to love lost, to death lost, to madness found. He wrote Die Winterreise, the most hopeless art work ever conceived by the despairing mind of man.Some critics have dismissed baritone Hermann Prey as a mere crooner, as if his beauty of tone and phrasing, his mere concern with beauty, were enough to damn him. They point to his use of subtle portamento, his discreet glissando, and his occasional vibrato at the end of phrases -- to his employment of the simple tools of the singer's trade -- as signs of his lesser status as an interpreter. They say that the singer who would use such vocal tricks could hardly be taken seriously as an artist.Listen to either of Prey's recordings of Winterreise and say that. Here is a consummate artist whose artistry is at the service of interpreting the music. The second of Prey's recordings is one of the great Winterreises. If its despair is not the cosmic fury of the Flying Dutchman's, its more personal and more intimate despair is all the more moving. This is one man's grief, not the end of the world.© TiVo

Franz Schubert

Vocal Music (Secular and Sacred) - Released October 16, 2015 | Claves Records

Hi-Res Booklet
Stephan Genz has the melting phrasing and a good deal of the vocal quality of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, and those looking for a recording that follows in the footsteps of the king of German baritones may gravitate toward this Swiss release for that reason. This said, the cumulative effect of Genz's cycle is quite different from that of Fischer-Dieskau's. Genz's contribution lies not so much in the vocal sound as in his relationship with his accompanist, Michel Dalberto. The very first song, Gute Nacht, is characteristic: Dalberto seems to set a very fast tempo, but he is actually defining a frame in a few quick strokes for Genz to fill in. Often his introductions are faster than the body of the song, and the interaction that develops over each song between singer and accompanist breathes with unusual flexibility. In a few places, such as the famed Der Lindenbaum (track 5), it's hard to get the mood that seems basic to the song, and as the cycle goes on it only intermittently has the simple inevitability that Fischer-Dieskau's had. But many individual songs, including the bleak final Der Leiermann and the harmonically shocking Auf dem Flusse (track 7), are arresting in their discursive, detailed approach. Claves' studio sound is very well-suited to the performance, and this is overall a recommended winter's journey.© TiVo

Schubert Revisited: Lieder Arranged for Baritone and Orchestra

Matthias Goerne

Classical - Released January 6, 2023 | Deutsche Grammophon (DG)

Hi-Res Booklet
Pianist Alexander Schmalcz has performed alongside many famous singers during his career and is also a talented arranger. At the request of Matthias Goerne, he orchestrated Schubert’s lieder in the spirit of similar works by Berlioz, Reger, Liszt and Webern. Matthias Goerne has performed these orchestrations in numerous concerts, both in Europe and in New York, as part of the Mostly Mozart Festival.Schmalcz’s arrangements are both rigorous and conscientious. They’re perfect for Matthias Goerne’s dark tone, which is particularly graceful on this recording made in October 2019 with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. Over the years, the German baritone’s voice has become even more well-rounded, finding deep golden bass tones.The orchestration gives these 20 lieder exceptional weight, further emphasised by the mellowness of the strings, the darkness of the trombones and the sometimes ominous use of the timpani. This orchestration plunges Schubert’s music into a romantic universe similar to lieder by Brahms and even Wolf, especially in Songs of the harpist (Gesänge des Harfners), The Erl-King (Erlkönig) and the famous lieder Death and the maiden (Der Tod und das Mädchen). The anachronism of these arrangements is magnified by the silky accompaniment of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and Matthias Goerne’s stunning vocals. © François Hudry/Qobuz
