About
This set – which includes Schubert’s popular Müller settings: Die Schöne Müllerin and Winterreise, alongside the Schwanengesang cycle - traverses the range of human emotion: from hope to despair, obsession to anguish, life to death. These works from his final years reveal a composer reaching extraordinary depths, exploring the darker side of the human psyche.
The recordings have all received numerous accolades on their first release as single CDs, Die Schöne Müllerin receiving Editor’s Choice accolades from both Classical Music magazine and Gramophone upon its release, with the latter describing the performance as “Among the very finest of modern versions”.
“Gilchrist has that smoothness characteristic of British tenors, but is surprisingly versatile, and his sensitivity to the subtlest nuance is unfailingly elegant” - Sunday Times
“Gilchrist makes the best possible case for tenors. His light, sweet voice is wonderfully expressive, and Anna Tilbrook's accompaniments are ideal, subtly honouring the beauty of the piano writing without any obtrusiveness.” - The Independent
