Schubert: Winterreise Limited Vinyl 2LP Set – Ian Bostridge, Leif Ove Andsnes

Ian Bostridge, Leif Ove Andsnes Schubert: Winterreise Limited Vinyl 2LP Set

Overview:

Ian Bostridge and Leif Ove Andsnes have recorded many acclaimed Schubert albums together, among which was this recording of the pinnacle of the Lieder repertoire, Schuberts Winterreise.

The piano part in Winterreise is usually played by a career accompanist, but here the pianist is having a major international solo career; hence this partnership is a meeting of true musical equals and the outcomes are extraordinary, resulting in a reference recording.

This partnership is one of the most inspired of record-company matchmakings: the two musicians really do test and try each other at every turn, as well as being mutually supportive The Times

[] acuteness of colour and detail is characteristic of the performance of both artists who, more than most, highlight the mordant, ironic self-awareness that undercuts the wanderers despair. BBC Music Magazine

It is a highly involving performance and is continually lifted by Leif Ove Andsness imaginative and atmospheric accompaniments… The recording is beautifully balanced, and this remains an unforgettable performance. The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music
