Ihre Favourite Winterreise

[Leo K.]

I am currently enjoying this recording with Benjamin Brun and Karola Theill on Hanssler (2021). I can't find much online about it, but I like the piano sound and voice. It's not the intimate and close sound like Hotter with Gerald Moore, but it moves along well, perhaps I like this more declamatory style than I realized.

Matthias Horn/Christoph Ullrich.

At first I thought this was just yet another excellent interpretation. Then I heard what they make of Die Nebensonnen and decided to make a post, because it's amazing! Der Leiermann isn't chopped liver either.

Glad that you are still enjoying your traversal!

Henk Neven and Hans Eijsackers. This is a studio recording made for BBC Music Magazine, there are later concert performances online by the looks of things.

My ears first pricked up in Auf dem flusse (7) - such colour in the voice! From then on it's impossible to stop listening. Eisjackers is incisive too.

More on this. It is really candid - a glimpse into the mind of a man who's hopelessly stuck, who doesn't know what to do. Painful to hear in a way.  Hotter tried to do this, but Neven is more text aware, more varying. An essential Winterreise performance IMO.
