  • Schubert's: Winterreise
    Schubert’s: Winterreise: A highly selective survey of the discography by Ralph Moore "Come to Schober's today and I will play you a cycle of terrifying songs; they have affected me more than has ever been the case with any other songs." (Schubert’s words in 1827 as recalled by his close friend Joseph von Spaun) "You have to be haunted by this cycle to be able to sing it.” (Elena Gerhardt, celebrated German mezzo-soprano Lieder specialist) Strange though it may seem to us now, habituated as we are to the genre, Schubert virtually invented the song-cycle as an art form and indeed his achievement has not been surpassed since. His Winterreise is for the Lieder singer the Everest of Romantic song cycles and arguably the greatest of its kind. It is the product of a remarkable combination of the talents of two young German-speaking artists (Schubert being Austrian), both geniuses: one a poet, the other a composer and both doomed to a premature death when barely into their thirties. Beethoven might have shown Schubert the way with songs such as “Adelaide” and “An die ferne Geliebte”, presumably serving as models for Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise, but lovely as they are, they have nothing of the breadth and scale of Schubert’s grim psychological narrative, a setting of twenty- four poems by Wilhelm Müller charting the mental and physical journey of a young man plunged into despair by unrequited love. Suffused with the same hyper-Romantic sensibility which characterises Goethe’s – and, subsequently, Massenet’s - Werther, Winterreise exploits and sustains the literary device of pathetic fallacy by reflecting the desolation of the protagonist’s soul in a musical and textual depiction of a bleak winter landscape.
