Schubert: Winterreise

“Solitude, or more exactly, isolation, is what marked Haydn’s biography the most… Haydn could remain at one with himself and his music, as he famously stated himself: ‘No one near could confuse me, so I was forced to become original.’…” says Markus Becker on this music that he has chosen for Volume II of his Haydn piano series. The album features Haydn’s seminal Winterreise.
