David Greco and Erin Helyard present the first Australian recording of Schubert’s masterpiece on period instruments.
Erin Helyard and David Greco present a Winterreise that's different from any you have heard before. This is how the work might have sounded to Schubert, a recording informed by scholarship around 19th-century performance techniques, and the different vocal traditions and pianos that existed then.
But far from a dry, academic exercise, David and Erin strip away the stuffy, canonised aura of this famous work, presenting a Winterreise sung by a young man in the full fervour of love and an all-consuming passion. This is a performance that takes you inside a work you’ve listened to many times before - but never truly heard.
