Schubert

Found this article about a staging of Schubert's last piece "Swan Songs" used as a setting for war. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/24/arts/music/doppelganger-review.html

This prompted me to take a listen to same. A good one by violin, IMHO is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7CXom-DFIk

Thank you for this post. Schubert is sublime.

Schubert is indeed sublime, but I've never felt the need for a staged performance of any of the song cycles. I well remember a performance of Winterreise by Mark Padmore where he simply finished the last song "Der Leiermann", staring into nothing. Overwhelming.

>3 haydninvienna: Yes, I was not impressed with the staging nor did I see a need for it.....just in the news! It did prompt me to listen, and sublime is a great word!
