The current CD of the Week

Week beginning 30 November 2008

Schubert arr Forget: Winterreise, D911 (chamber version)
ATMA ACD2 2546 (Rockian Trading)

Christoph Pregardien, tenor & Pentaedre Ensemble
Winterreise as you might never have imagined it! This new version of Schubert’s integrated cycle of 24 songs on poems by Wilhelm Muller, while remaining faithful to the original text, unhitches it from its era and makes it nearly a work of today. In this recording, the colours inherent in Schubert’s piano score grow naturally into the unique combination of the wind quintet Pentaedre and Joseph Petric’s accordion, and the expressiveness of Schubert’s melodies provide a perfect vehicle for Christoph Pregardien’s mature artistry.
