Faculty duo performs Schubert's 'Winterreise'
The cycle of 24 songs chronicles the journey of a heart-broken poet traveling through a winter landscape. The poet's encounters along the way form the subject of the songs. Written near the end of Schubert's life, this cycle is considered by many to be one of his finest and most evocative works.
