CD1: Die schöne Müllerin, D.795
CD2: Winterreise, D.911

Franz Schubert set two cycles of poems by Wilhelm Müller during the last decade of his short life, both of them in their own way exploring themes of inexorable motion, of hope, of joy and pain, of longing, revelation and concealment, all very possibly an analogue for the composer's own feelings. On this double album, bass-baritone Jeremy Leaman and pianist Beate Toyka bring a wealth of linguistic and musical experience to their thoughtful and assured performances of these well-known songs – works that still resonate two centuries on.
