Featuring a total of 24 songs, Winterreise tells the powerful story of a man who has lost his love, and with a broken heart, leaves his home and ventures on a ‘winter’s journey.’ In addition to powerful poetry by Wilhelm M’ller, the piano supplies rich musical imagery: a rushing storm, crying wind, water under the ice, birds singing, ravens croaking, and dogs baying. Schubert’s epic work features acclaimed tenor William Hite and pianist and Rockport Music favorite Gilles Vonsattel.
