Winterreise (Winter Journey) is a song cycle for voice and piano composed by Franz Schubert of a setting of 24 poems by Wilhelm Muller. It is the second of Schubert's two great song cycles on Muller's poems, the earlier being Die schone Mullerin. While both setting were originally written for the tenor voice, the songs are frequently transposed to suit other vocal ranges - the precedent being established by Schubert himself. Winterreise is a huge undertaking for both the performer and audience requiring great attention to detail and interpretation. Dietrich Fisher-Dieskau was a champion of this composition. Here, he performs with Alfred Brendel in the complete cycle.
