The Gramophone Award-winning partnership of Gerald Finley and Julius Drake turns to perhaps the most celebrated song-cycle of them all. Schubert's Winterreise is a masterpiece of despair, astonishing in it's bleakness and enthrallingly mesmerizing as the journey continues. Finley brings all his considerable dramatic powers to his performance - and all but submerges them under the ice. Winterreise is the second of Schubert's two great song cycles on William Muller's poems, the earlier being Die schene Mullerin. The work's tone echoes the composer's own mood, as it was written during a particularly melancholic period in Schubert's life.
