Catalogue No: 738008
Barcode: 814337013806
Franz Schubert�s Winterreise engages with its audience in a new and unexpected form. Matthias Goerne, 'the voice of perfection' (Le Figaro), pianist Markus Hinterh�user and South African director, set designer and theatrical artist William Kentridge joined forces on stage and traced newly imagined, deeply moving images. In short animated films, Kentridge visualises Goerne�s and Hinterh�user�s sonic contribution. A memorable meeting 'of melancholy and magic' (La Marseillaise). 'Mr. Kentridge�s 24 stop-action films - made up of animated ink drawings and collages - offer a visually mesmerising and thought-provoking commentary on Schubert�s song cycle' (New York Times). 'There is an unusual robustness to his (Matthias Goerne�s) wanderer, infused by the virile beauty of his powerful baritone' (New York Times).
