Editorial Review:
An extraordinary fusion of music, poetry, and photographsWinterreise is perhaps the greatest song cycle ever written. Franz Schubert set to music the evocative poetry of his contemporary, German lyricist Wilhelm Müller. It is a heart-rending portrayal of a winter journey full of misery and woe.

This striking and unique multimedia volume brings together the achievements of Schubert and Müller with new interpretations by present-day musicians, scholars, and a photographer. Foreword by John Harbison, essay by Susan Youens. The volume includes:

€ the complete German text of Wilhelm Müller's twenty-four poems € a new English translation of the poems by Louise McClelland Urban € a foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer John Harbison € an introductory essay by renowned Schubert scholar Susan Youens € ninety-two stunning black and white photographs of a winter's journey by Katrin Talbot € a compact-disc recording of the Winterreise song cycle performed by baritone Paul Rowe and pianist Martha Fischer.
