As he has chronicled in his insightful Schubert's Winter
Journey—Anatomy of an Obsession, tenor Ian Bostridge has had a
profound relationship with the most famous of song cycles throughout
his entire career. Bostridge's special affinity for Winterreise has
grown through more than 100 performances over three decades and in
many different contexts, and Schubert's haunting, layered musical
allegory continues to captivate him. "It is as if Schubert somehow
looked into the future, heard Bostridge sing and wrote Winterreise
specifically for him" (Exeunt Magazine).
