Leeds Lieder: Winterreise - Ian Bostridge (tenor) and Joseph Middleton (piano)

'Winterreise is to me the ultimate work that I perform. It's a work that ranks with the greatest in the operatic and symphonic repertoire.' So writes Ian Bostridge, whose name has become synonymous with this masterpiece, helping to secure his reputation as one of the foremost Schubertians of our time. A recent performance by Bostridge and Middleton drew particularly enthusiastic reviews: 'with an impressive range of dynamics and colour [it] was both exceedingly intense and sincere - a great interpretation.'
