DESCRIPTION:Schubert: Winterreise\nMark Padmore tenor\nJulius Drake piano\
 nOur Winter Festival opens with this epic tale of lost love and despair. R
 ejected by his beloved\, the protagonist sets out on a brutally icy and lo
 nely journey\, with only the snow\, the bare trees and the occasional crow
  to keep him company. A gradual descent into madness ensues\, depicted in 
 some of Schubert’s most devastatingly beautiful music. Schubert himself 
 was dying when he wrote this bleak and powerful cycle\, described by Ian B
 ostridge as ‘an indispensable work of art that should be as much a part 
 of our common experience as the poetry of Shakespeare and Dante\, the pain
 tings of Van Gogh and Picasso\, the novels of the Brontë sisters or Marce
 l Proust.’  \n\nDuration: approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes (no interv
 al)\n\n"I was awed in following the German texts to register how immaculat
 e and internalised was his honouring of the text and how delicate his infl
 ection of every syllable"\n\nThe Daily Telegraph - on Mark Padmore\n"The p
 iano felt like a whole orchestra\, descriptive and evocative\; Drake’s m
 agisterial command of tonal inflections allowing him to invest Schubert’
 s transitions from minor to major mode and major to minor with acute emoti
 onal point"\n\nThe Guardian
