According to contemporary reports, Schubert had been gravely ill for a long time. “He had experienced much melancholy…. and winter had arrived for him.” Contemplating the unresolved fate of a wanderer who is nowhere at home and has no prospect of arrival or redemption, Schubert presents us with a beautiful musico-lyrical anatomy of melancholy. His Winterreise is a profoundly personal statement, a timeless reflection of human fate within a rootless existence and one of the greatest examples of romantic sensibility in music.It is no exaggeration to say that “Gute Nac cht”, the opening song, is emblematic of the entire cycle. The opening phrase, ‘A stranger I came, a stranger I depart’ sets the scene for the extraordinary journey which is to follow. Australian baritone Barry Ryan OAM has performed in concert throughout Europe, Australia and Asia.
