About This Item
From the first notes, the snowy steps of InchFremd bin ich eingezogenInch (As a stranger I arrived), the new recording of Schubert's InchWinterreiseInch by the Gewandhauschor makes one sit up and take notice Choirmaster Gregor Meyer has arranged one of the most paramount lieder cycles for his InchinstrumentInch, the choir, and makes virtuosic use of the possibilities offered by the ensemble's polyphony and sonority. Meyer has split the original piano part between two accordions, played here by Heidi and Uwe Steger. Their instruments are astonishingly close to the human voice, breathing, shouting, whispering, and singing. Tobias Berndt, an accomplished lied singer, takes on the baritone solo part in this recording with the choir of one of the most renowned concert halls Album Tracks 1. No. 1. Gute Nacht [05 33] 2.
