Schubert – Die Winterreise / Rudolf Knoll (baritone), Hugo Steuer (piano) / Masters Classic Audio CD Stereo / CLS 4209 UPC 8711638420925   Winterreise (German pronunciation: [ˈvɪntɐˌʁaɪzə], Winter Journey) is a song cycle for voice and piano by Franz Schubert (D. 911, published as Op. 89 in 1828), a setting of 24 poems by German poet Wilhelm Müller. It is the second of Schubert's two song cycles on Müller's poems, the earlier being Die schöne Müllerin (D. 795, Op. 25, 1823). Both were originally written for tenor voice but are frequently transposed to other vocal ranges, a precedent set by Schubert himself. The two works pose interpretative demands on listeners and performers due to their scale and structural coherence. Although Ludwig van Beethoven's cycle An die ferne Geliebte (To the Distant Beloved) was published earlier, in 1816, Schubert's cycles hold the foremost place in the genre's history.   Label: Masters Classic – CLS 4209 Format: CD, Compilation Country: Netherlands Released:     Genre: Classical Style:       Tracklist: 1   Gute Nacht 6:42 2   Die Wetterfahne 1:40 3   Gefrorne Tränen 2:34 4   Erstarrung 2:46 5   Der Lindenbaum 4:31 6   Die Wasserflut 4:00 7   Auf Dem Flusse 3:06 8   Rückblick 2:17 9   Irrlicht 2:36 10   Rast 3:14 11   Frühlingstraum 3:36 12   Einsamkeit 2:28 13   Die Post 2:33 14   Der Greise Kopf 2:43 15   Die Krähe 2:16 16   Letzte Hoffnung 1:41 17   Im Dorfe 3:14 18   Der Stürmische Morgen    0:47 19   Täuschung 1:29 20   Der Wegweiser 4:21 21   Das Wirtshaus 4:10 22   Mut 1:21 23   Die Nebensonne 2:39 24   Der Leiermann 3:16         Baritone Vocals – Rudolf Knoll Cover – Studio Eric Wondergem BNO Piano – Hugo Steuer
