Dramatic landscapes

‘A stranger I arrived; a stranger I depart.’

Schubert’s evocative and intensely moving Winterreise follows our protagonist’s journey to forget a lost love. With one lone voice accompanied by one single piano, this cycle of 24 songs takes us through a bleak, wintry landscape, exploring hope, despair and fate along the way.

This soulful meditation on existence will be performed by one of the world’s greatest singers, Matthias Goerne. The German baritone has recorded this work twice before and has been hailed as 'one of the best modern interpreters of this music’ (Audiophile Audition). Accompanied by superb pianist and frequent collaborator Daniil Trifonov, Winterreise is a rare event, and a beautiful, aching journey through the intoxicating experience of love.

Written to be performed in an intimate setting, there’s no venue better suited to experience this extraordinary work and these phenomenal artists than the City Recital Hall.
