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.
