	Winterreise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Winterreise (Winter Journey) is a song cycle by Franz Schubert, on poems by Wilhelm Müller.
		The songs in Winterreise are linked as a sequence of reflections by the singer taking a lonely walk in a winter's night, thinking back on his lost love.
		The lonely themes of cold, darkness, and the barren winter landscape predominate, with occasional encounters with other nighttime wanderers, such as a passing postal coach in Die Post.

	- Winterreise - Keenlyside/Trisha Brown
		Winterreise is such a familiar piece that even if you don't know the words by heart, you know really well what each song is about.
		The last time I saw some of Winterreise staged was in a piece by Robert North, who used the last song from the cycle as the last piece in a Schubert salad, adding movement which was so jarringly mismatched that I had to look away to stop myself exploding with rage.
		Winterreise is holy ground for me - one of the greatest works of the composer I love the most, and in watching any adaptation my symathies are 100% with Schubert.

	classical music - andante - die winterreise
		Winterreise stood far ahead of its time, a stranger to the standard Romantic sensibility and style.
		The incredible thing is that the music he composed after Winterreise bears no trace of the agony he endured and which so emphatically appears in those songs, so abundant and easy is the seemingly inexhaustible flow of melody in the composer's last works.
		Die Winterreise may well be the Odyssey of the modern era, the Odyssey for the average modern man. No Ithaca expects him, no loving wife and child; no god stops him, for gods have deserted this world where man fights and dies by himself, free and alone.

	About Simon Keenlyside and Winterreise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		"'Winterreise' is a true collaboration between Brown and Keenlyside, who previously portrayed Orfeo beautifully under her direction.
		TRISHA BROWN'S `WINTERREISE' Trisha Brown's staging of the Schubert work for the baritone Simon Keenlyside and dancers from her company in early December was a seamless and compelling fusion of song and movement which captured the music's emotional essence and eloquence."--from "10 Moments in Dance" by Jack Anderson in
		It was not just his capacious voice - it was lovely to hear him hit rich low notes, then bounce into the broad strip of colour that is his middle range - he quite simply became the song cycle’s jilted lover.

		Winterreise - From Franz Schubert and Wilhelm Muller to Robert Lloyd, Julius Drake and Pip Wolf
		A live performance of Die Winterreise, by bass singer Robert Lloyd and pianist Julius Drake, inspired artist Pip Woolf to produce a series of twenty-three paintings for each of the songs in the cycle*.
		With Winterreise we invite you to share in a memorable and unique experience: journey with the artist and performers on an exploration of darker human emotions, invoked through a sensitive and intelligent visual and musical interpretation of Schubert's powerful musical motifs and the natural imagery of Muller's deceptively simple lyrics.

	Telegraph \| Arts \| Shuffling around to Schubert
		Thirty years ago, I remember a ludicrous BBC television version in which Peter Pears, clad in Sherlock Holmes deerstalker, stumbled across the studio as paper snow was dropped all over him; more recently, on Channel 4, the director David Alden provided Ian Bostridge with a context of fashionable postmodern anguish.
		The power of Winterreise is surely the intensity with which it conveys what is going on inside the Wanderer's head, and the way that the objects and events he encounters are consumed into his obsessive thoughts and feelings.
		Instead, she sets a mood of cool alienation, against the music's romantic grain, and her abstracted style of movement embodies neither the internal nor the external.

		This "Winterreise" is the most, repeat, the most beautiful rendition of ANY of Schubert's Lieder that I have heard.
		"Winterreise" is, as Schubert said, morose and devoid of hope; Fischer-Dieskau carries the mood and emotion to the extreme limits, and what we get is such a heart-rending performance, it's almost unbearable.
		Keep in mind this is Fischer-Dieskau's collaboration with pianist JORG DEMUS in "Winterreise", not to be confused with Gerald Moore, with whom he recorded this work for both EMI and DG (later than the Demus), and with Daniel Barenboim for DG; Alfred Brendel for Philips (1985); and finally with Murray Perahia for Sony (ca.

	Franz Schubert's "Winterreise"
		Throughout the study it was argued that sufficient cause exists to challenge the traditional order; i.e., the sequence of the 24 songs of Schubert's Winterreise found in all editions of the cycle.
		The identification of the song "Täuschung" as a sign of the special relationship with his friend Schober provided strength to the argument that the complex personal life of Schubert was linkable to the act of creating the cycle's songs.
		Many of the problems surrounding the cycle bear further exploration; however, of all the directions that new studies may take in regard to the 24 songs, the most attractive possibility may be to provide a performance model in the form of an alternative edition on which the presentation of the cycle can be based.

	Classical Net Review - Schubert - Winterreise
		Winterreise was originally written to be sung by a tenor, and you can't get much better than Peter Schreier, accompanied by the refined and subtle playing of András Schiff.
		This recording has far better sound than the 1985 live version he did with Sviatoslav Richter, with all of its attendant background coughs, and even surpasses the previous version he did with Schiff in the late 'Eighties.

		This gorgeous Winterreise, probably the most beautiful on the market, brings American baritone Thomas Hampson’s annus mirabilis (he was EMI’s 1997 Artist of the Year) to a glorious close.
		He has the exact type of rich flexible baritone voice best suited to this cycle, the perfectly easy and idiomatic diction of a native German speaker, and the vocal power of impetuous youth.
		In 1977, at about the time she decided to call herself a mezzo because she had lost a few notes at the top after a bad throat infection, 51-year-old Lois Marshall was recorded at the University of Toronto’s Hart House singing Winterreise in concert.

		Composed at the end of his life, Schubert's cycle Winterreise contains some of the bleakest, most shattering music ever written; he himself described it as "spine-chilling." As always, he turned literary dross into musical gold, transforming the relentless self-absorption of Müller's Wanderer, who reflects everything he sees back upon himself, into a heartbreaking human tragedy.

		At the minimal least, he works a stylised vocabulary of austere gestural emotion but at impressive full stretch he allows himself to be lifted and flung by the three dancers as he sings of his grief, or to fall back into their cradling arms when he longs for rest.
		And the marvel of Keenlyside is that while he's singing this marathon of a tensely modulated, vividly imagined Winterreise, his body never loses its poise.
		These images explode out of the music with a shocking visual force, but the greatness of this Winterreise lies in the fact they don't shatter the score.

		For many years, Schreier resisted singing Die Winterreise, fearing that his lyric tenor was unsuitable for Schubert's legendary study of grief and longing.
		It was not until the 1980s that he felt his lower range had deepened enough to try the cycle.
		He was also motivated by his discovery of the Breitkopf complete edition in which Schubert himself had written high-voice versions (in higher keys) for the low-lying songs, making them more appropriate for Schreier's voice.

		But it was his original vision to combine the two works into a dramatic whole, expressing the echt — Romantic Era story of Werther, the young man who literally dies of love, with both Goethe's words and the texts of the 22 lieder that make up Schubert's great song cycle.
		But this kind of storytelling — simple, clear-eyed, dramatically effective and beautifully sung and played — doesn't ask for a young audience, but one prepared to understand and become moved by emotions that may be deeper than any they have experienced.
		Certainly this "Winterreise — The Sorrows of Young Werther' will be remembered as a noble and profoundly successful dramatic experiment, just the kind of thing the Long Beach Opera has long had a reputation for.

		In this Winterreise (alternating at John Jay College Theater through December 13 with two programs of Brown's dances), Keenlyside, finely abetted by pianist Pedja Muzijevic, not only sings wonderfully; he has a beautiful presence—simple, modest, and up to everything Brown proposes.
		He launches himself toward us headfirst and several feet off the ground in "The Stormy Morning"; he sings cantilevered in various ways against the dancers' upraised feet and delivers the entire "Dream of Spring" lying on the bed they have formed for him.

	The British Theatre Guide : Reviews - Winterreise
		Schubert himself called the 24 songs in his song cycle Winterreise (Winter Journey) "frightening", and this journey through a winter landscape, which is also a journey through despair, cries out for some kind of dramatic treatment.
		Not a play - although there is the material there to inspire a play - but something which doesn't displace the music from its central position.
		It is, perhaps, more intellectual than visceral in its impact, but, when combined with the superb singing of Simon Keenlyside, it does take you on the journey through the drak night of Schubert's soul.
