Franz Schubert Schubert: Winterreise / Dietrich Fischer Dieskau Limited Vinyl 2LP Set

Overview:
Franz Schubert’s song cycle Winterreise was written late in his life. It is regarded both as a highlight of the genre and as the touchstone by which lieder singers are judged. To succeed in interpreting Winterreise is the artistic equivalent of a patent of nobility for a singer. Music and poetry have a common domain, from which they draw inspiration and in which they operate: the landscape of the soul,” said Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. He embarked on Schubert’s Winterreise many times in his career, but this recording, made in 1955 with pianist Gerald Moore, is as exceptional for the youthful beauty of his singing as for the insight and immediacy of his interpretation.
