A song cycle for voice and piano, Winterreise (Winter Journey) was published in 1828. The piece by Franz Schubert is a setting of 24 poems by Wilhelm Muller. Winterreise is the second of Schubert’s song cycles to center around Muller’s poetry. In this work, the role of the pianist is equal to the role of the singer. The rhythms in the piano part consistently express the mood of the poet. Performing this masterpiece are renowned tenor Karol Kozlowski and pianist Jolanta Pawlik.
