Baritone Peter Harvey delivers a unique recording of Schubert's popular song-cycle Winterreise which, alongside Die Schone Mullerin, provides one of the greatest challenges in the lieder repertoire. This recording demonstrates why he can frequently be heard on radio broadcasts and in concert halls across the world.
o Peter Harvey leads the listener on an intense, dramatic journey; his expressive baritone perfectly captures the bleak emotions of the wanderer in this beautiful work.
o Harvey's historically informed interpretation is further enhanced by Gary Cooper who performs on an early 19th century fortepiano. This collaborative attention to authenticity creates the atmospheric and distinctive sound world that Schubert intended.
o Harvey has performed Winterreise in Cambridge (England), Auxerre (France) and Lugo (Spain) with Roger Vignoles to critical acclaim.
o Peter Harvey has made around a hundred recordings in repertoire spanning eight centuries and has won a "Choc de l'année" in Le Monde de la Musique for his recordings of Faure.
o A fluent French speaker, Peter Harvey has worked for many continental groups, in particular the Chapelle Royale and Collegium Vocale of Ghent, Les Talens Lyriques and Le Concert Spirituel.
o Peter has sung with the Netherlands Bach Society, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Stuttgart Chamber Choir and the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra and performed in the Châtelet (Paris), Lincoln Center (New York), Santiago de Compostela (Spain), Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), Musikverein (Vienna), the 'Bach Church' (Germany), Théâtre des Champs Elysées (Paris) and in Verona, Rome, Seoul and Tokyo.
o Harvey has won prizes in a number of international singing competitions, including the Walther Grüner International Lieder Competition and the English Song Award.
o Gary Cooper is one of the foremost ambassadors of the fortepiano and of period performance in
general. He has received countless awards and acclaim for his recordings with Rachel Podger.
