The Four Seasons – A Different Take «Winter»

Description

In the second part of "The Four Seasons – A Different Take," Benjamin Appl presents Schubert's "Winterreise." The last student of Fischer-Dieskau is one of the leading song interpreters of our time. With a text interpretation shaped by his famous teacher, expressive text design, and deep musical insight, the highly awarded baritone captivates audiences and critics on the world's major concert stages. Schubert's "Winterreise" is a work that, like few others, deals with the existential questions of human existence. With fine nuance and great narrative power, Appl will trace the path of the lonely wanderer – from hope and memory to loss and resignation. Replacing the piano is a string quartet led by primarius Daniel Dodds. The rich tonal colors and chamber music intimacy of the strings give Schubert's famous song cycle a fascinating new perspective.
