“Great Masters in the Beethoven House”
F.Schubert “Winterreise”
IAN BOSTRIDGE & ROSTISLAV KRIMER

13 October

“The great Schubert experience. (“Winterreise”)…Everyone follows him as if hypnotized, deeper and deeper into the torn consciousness of the winter hiker.” DER SPIEGEL

IAN BOSTRIDGE is considered one of the most important, because most exciting, most independent and most idiosyncratic interpreters of this song cycle. And as one of the most knowledgeable.

Few singers have dealt with Schubert’s Winterreise as intensively as the English tenor Ian Bostridge: Not only countless performances, several Grammy nominations and recordings over the past 30 years bear witness to this, but also his highly acclaimed monograph on the cycle, published in 2015. On the occasion of his first recital at the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn, Bostridge and Rostislav Krimer will perform Schubert’s “scary songs” – as the composer himself once called them.
