Scarlata, Kalish, and Youens present Franz Schubert's chilling song cycle for voice and piano, Winterreise. A man whose name and background we never know stands outside his former beloved’s house by night, then embarks on a journey through the wintry geography of the soul. Wilhelm Müller’s words in the twenty-four songs of this Winter Journey paint an astonishingly modern portrait of alienation and mourning, of someone delving into his own psyche in search of reasons for his difference from others. Featuring Randall Scarlata, baritone, and Gilbert Kalish, piano, whose recording of Winterreise was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2019. Pre-concert lecture by world-renowned Schubert scholar, Susan Youens.
