Schubert's Winterreise
Alice Tully Hall
Hosted by Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center
Poignant string quartet miniatures, the last in the genre by both Haydn and Mendelssohn, set the stage for one of Schubert’s Winterreise. Finished during the composer’s final year, the song cycle follows a wanderer who, in the great Romantic tradition, searches in vain for the unattainable.
