1827. Schubert was 30 years old. And he knew that he was slowly dying. Fatigue, despair, solitude, wandering: the poems of Wilhelm Müller resonated in his ear and spirit with great force and inspired him to write his greatest song cycle, a prelude to his even greater final works (the last piano sonatas, the Quintet with two cellos…). An overwhelming “winter journey”, the romantic “wanderer” lost in the cold, ending his voyage next to the sorrowful “Hurdy-Gurdy Man”, nagged by dogs… And the perfect object of expression for English tenor Ian Bostridge accompanied in an “authentic manner” by Jan Schultsz on a fortepiano.
