Irish Songmakers
Acclaimed British tenor Ben Johnson and Irish pianist Niall Kinsella perform Franz Schubert’s great song-cycle, Winterreise. One of the composer’s late works, composed in the final year of his life, Winterreise, or Winter Journey, has long captured the imaginations of audiences and performers alike. The cycle is an exploration of the human condition set over twenty-four scenes, which travel the inner journey of the soul, dealing with themes of loss, isolation, rejection, anger and unrequited love.
Johnson, elegant yet intense, is impeccable.”
– The Guardian on Ben Johnson
“Kinsella is a meticulous collaborator.”
– BBC Music Magazine on Niall Kinsella
