FRANZ SCHUBERT

Baritone Andrè Schuen and pianist Daniel Heide complete their trilogy of Schubert’s late song cycles with this new album of Winterreise. Recorded at the Markus-Sittikus-Saal in Hohenems, the album features the alpha and omega of the Lieder repertoire. As Andrè Schuen says, it is “the first work that comes to mind when you talk about Lieder”. The duo performs the composition, inspired by Wilhelm Müller’s poems and overshadowed by the theme of heartbreak, which will also form the soundtrack for Alex Helfrecht’s forthcoming live-action/animated film A Winter’s Journey.
