Album insights
Baritone Andre Schuen and pianist Daniel Heide complete their trilogy of Schubert's late song cycles with Winterreise. Recorded at the Markus-Sittikus Hall in Hohenems, the album captures the essence of the song repertoire, as described by Schuen as the quintessential work when discussing songs. The duo delivers a performance of this composition inspired by Wilhelm Müller's poems, centered on themes of heartache. This piece will also serve as the soundtrack for Alex Helfrecht's upcoming live-action animated film, A Winter's Journey.
