About

Schubert’s transcendent song cycle of loss and desolation has not lacked for great recordings since the days of the 78: this new account from Florian Boesch and Roger Vignoles (hailed as ‘two of the best performers of Lieder in our time’) is surely destined to join their ranks.

Reviews

Awards Issue 2017

What I notice especially on the new disc is Boesch’s way with the words: there’s a special lightness – though never a levity – that helps keep his line unencumbered, allowing for an astonishing expressive freedom. There’s no question that this is Lieder performance, from both Boesch and Vignoles, at the very highest level of sophistication and accomplishment, and a fascinating, thought-provoking listen.

October 2017

It remains only to say that Hyperion have recorded the performance beautifully, achieving an excellent balance between singer and piano.

February 2018

In terms of recent recordings...I’m inclined to put this pretty near the top. It’s a remarkable achievement, and it merits another bravo thanks to Hyperion’s excellent recording and super booklet notes, containing full texts and translations (of course) and a marvellous essay from Richard Wigmore. Altogether superb.

24th September 2017

The Presto Classical website lists an astounding 178 versions of Winterreise. I’ve heard many of them, but few as intimate and interiorised as this reading...Vignoles sets the tone from the outset...His playing throughout is discreet and supportive...[Boesch's] storytelling and emotional response to what Schubert called his “terrifying songs” are masterly and compelling.

14th September 2017

wonderfully alive to every nuance of the text and of Schubert’s vocal lines.
