About This Item
Ian Bostridge and Leif Ove Andsnes have recorded many acclaimed Schubert albums together, among which was this recording of the pinnacle of the Lieder repertoire, Schubert's Winterreise..This partnership is one of the most inspired of record-company matchmakings the two musicians really do test and try each other at every turn, as well as being mutually supportiveInch The Times .[...] acuteness of colour and detail is characteristic of the performance of both artists who, more than most, highlight the mordant, ironic self-awareness that undercuts the wanderer's despair.Inch BBC Music Magazine.It is a highly involving performance and is continually lifted by Leif Ove Andsnes's imaginative and atmospheric accompaniments. The recording is beautifully balanced, and this remains an unforgettable performance.Inch The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music Album Tracks 1.
