Composed in 1827 and first performed privately for members of Schubert's circle, Die Winterreise initially received a mixed reception. Now acknowledged as the greatest song-cycle ever penned, the work, here played in the original keys, it receives a profound and probing reading from tenor Mark Padmore and pianist Paul Lewis, and marks the launch of their Schubert triptych.
"Schubert couldn't be better served…Padmore's great gift, apart from his prodigious technical ability,whether to float a line with perfect legato or to enter pianissimo at the top of his range, is to sing from the soul." The Evening Standard

“…I cannot think of one (not even Fischer-Dieskau in his 1965 recording with Jörg Demus) that leads more faithfully to the cold comfort at its end. And when we get there in this performance, what an end it is!”
The Independent on Sunday

“...an arrestingly frayed performance that conveys the anguish of Wilhelm Müller’s dislocated protagonist...The balance between voice and piano is exceptional, the interpretation bold and complex.”
