The Prodigy Who Saw Into the Future – Lili Boulanger’s Piano Music
A teenage girl with forward-looking ideas, Lili Boulanger had enough determination to successfully navigate the competitive, patriarchal, and conservative music scene of Paris. Despite a constant fight against illness, she achieved great mastery as a composer, and left behind a significant catalog of works characterized by intense emotional depth, in a sophisticated, post-Romantic, Impressionist style. Now, all her scores for solo piano are available to Piano Street’s members. Read more

Schubert's Winterreise
on: February 08, 2005, 08:08:05 PM
Hi Everyone,

There is a performance of Schubert's Winterreise today and wondered if I should bother going.  Do any of you recommend it?  I believe it is for voice and piano but don't know much else about it.

Thanks.

I definitely would recommend going.  It's my second favorite song cycle( after Mahler's Songs of a Wayfarer.)  It's a set of 24 songs, about an hour long.  The basic storyline is that the singer's love has left him, so he's now leaving his home in the middle of winter to escape the pain that his loss has given him.  A very depressing cycle but beautiful.
