Back to All Events
Franz Schubert’s music and Wilhelm Müller's poems sketch a path from the familiar pains of unrequited love to a deepening sense of alienation, an irreconcilability between self and world. As it nears its 200th year, it remains a work of elegant simplicity; it carries problematic notions of masculinity; it reminds us of what winter once was; it forms an envelope for confessions; sometimes it is mistaken for an invitation to virtuosity; it is hauntingly beautiful.
Andrew will perform the cycle with pianist Elenora Pertz at Tanglewood’s Linde Center.
