Winterreise D 911 (Op. 89)
Wilhelm Müller (text)

Description
Alien and lonely – though not alone
One of the best-known lieder cycles of the 19th-century, the Winterreise, composed in 1827 by Franz Schubert and ranked everywhere as one of the high points of the Romantic art lied, presents a great challenge to its interpreters. The version for baritone solo, mixed chorus and piano , worked out by Gregor Meyer, conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus chorus and Vocalconsort, now enables a wider circle of musicians to perform the popular lieder. Leaving melody and text unchanged, Meyer provides the lonely wanderer with a stylistically diverse as well as atmospherically dense choral accompaniment.
