Schubert: Die Winterreise / Gura, Berner

Werner Güra (tenor), Christoph Berner (fortepiano Rönisch Dresden, 1872)

“this Winterreise looks set to rival the most distinguished accounts by lyric tenors...[Gura] uses a wide palette of vocal and expressive colours to make this Winter’s Journey a spiritual and emotional trajectory...Despite his tenor’s essential lyrical beauty, he can convey rage and ugliness as well” “this very fine account of Die Winterreise completes what has become one of the most distinguished recent triptychs of Schubert song cycles on disc...Güra's sensitivity brings the text to life in a chillingly immediate way, while the pianist Christoph Berner understands his part in the dramatic scheme exactly.”
