Free Music Notes for Schubert: Winterreise
Free Music Review: Exquisite Singing and Interpretation
Hit: 4 Stars
Of the lower voices on the scene right now, Thomas Quasthoff is by far and away my favorite. He combines an incredible range with incomparable vocal quality (the warmth of his voice is evident on this recording) and a willingness to depart from "beautiful" when the text calls for something different. His peers mostly offer the same sound, all the time - a sound that plays best in large halls. While Quasthoff can fill the larger halls at will, it is his versatility that makes his lieder so wonderful.
This is a wonderful recording of Winterreise - Quasthoff and Spencer make the cycle sound effortless, almost to a fault. Their interpretation at times seems too cautious, particularly in view of Quasthoff's usual readiness to take interpretive risks. He chooses the "low voice" arrangements which place the songs in the heart of his range, sometimes at the cost of excitement at the top. Nonetheless, they capture the essence of the music and text. "Der Wegweiser" and "Das Wirtshaus," for example, are perfect.
With that qualification, I have played it again and again. He's the best.
Schubert: Winterreise Poster
Written the year before Schubert's death, these 24 songs describe a journey that takes us ever deeper into the frozen landscape of the soul, and this superb performance evokes and communicates every nuance of their wintry bleakness and despair. Quasthoff is a fabulous singer; his voice is dark, perfectly focused, infinitely variable in color and inflection; his intonation and diction are impeccable; his breath control is unlimited. Quasthoff identifies completely with both words and music; his deeply inward expressiveness makes these heartbreaking songs almost unbearably moving. The piano sound is a bit dry and remote, but the playing is splendid, setting mood and atmosphere, creating and underlining character and emotion. --Edith EislerClassical Music CDs
