A great admirer of the King of the Alders and the Great Symphony in C , Berlioz did not hide his admiration for Schubert: "[the] Viennese musician, who died very young, nevertheless left more beautiful works than would be needed for the 'immortality of
three composers '.

Composed a year before his death, Schubert's cycle Winterreise ( Winter Journey ) is a dark, infinitely beautiful and sad work, reflecting the state of mind of the composer who knows he is condemned by illness. The destination of this journey is inevitable and Schubert knows it: it is death, loneliness. Le Voyage d'hiver was composed in 1827 on poems by Wilhelm Müller, like his cycle La Belle meunière a few years earlier. The twenty-four lieder of Le Voyage d'hiver recount the wanderings of the narrator, broken by an unrequited love, feeling like a stranger wherever he goes and not knowing where to go.

This journey of no return will be served by two magnificent musicians and eminent Schubert specialists. Philippe Cassard, who has recorded around ten opuses dedicated to the composer, shares his personal vision of the composer's work in the essay Franz Schubert , published by Actes Sud. Müller's poems will be carried by the young German baritone Samuel Hasselhorn, winner of the Queen Elisabeth Prize but also of the International Schubert Competition and recently of the Franz Schubert Association of Barcelona. His second discographic opus, released this year by Harmonia Mundi, is devoted to Schubert lieder.

English

Grand admirateur du Roi des Aulnes et de la Grande symphonie en ut, Berlioz ne cachait pas son admiration pour Schubert : « [le] musicien viennois, mort fort jeune, a laissé cependant plus de beaux ouvrages qu’il n’en faudrait pour l’immortalité de
trois compositeurs ».

Composé un an avant sa mort, le cycle Winterreise (Le Voyage d’hiver) de Schubert est une œuvre sombre, infiniment belle et triste, reflet de l’état d’esprit du compositeur qui se sait condamné par la maladie. La destination de ce voyage est inéluctable et Schubert le sait : c’est la mort, la solitude. Le Voyage d’hiver est composé en 1827 sur des poèmes de Wilhelm Müller, comme son cycle La Belle meunière quelques années auparavant. Les vingt-quatre lieder du Voyage d’hiver racontent les errances du narrateur, brisé par un amour non partagé, se sentant étranger partout où il va et ne sachant où aller.

Ce voyage sans retour sera servi par deux magnifiques musiciens et éminents spécialistes de Schubert. Philippe Cassard qui a enregistré une dizaine d’opus dédiés au compositeur partage sa vision personnelle de l’œuvre du compositeur dans l’essai Franz Schubert, paru chez Actes Sud. Les poèmes de Müller seront portés par le jeune baryton allemand Samuel Hasselhorn, lauréat du Prix Reine Elisabeth mais aussi du Concours International Schubert et récemment de l’Association Franz Schubert de Barcelone. Son deuxième opus discographique sorti cette année chez Harmonia Mundi est consacré aux lieder de Schubert.
