1797-1828 in A Winter's Journey
Corridors, staircases, empty rooms - the kind of house in which Schubert and his friends met to perform his music. Once again years after his death those friends come together to remember the truth and fiction surrounding his life.
And throughout this house the echoes of his best-loved chamber works and Winterreise- ' Winter's Journey' - the greatest song cycle Schubert ever wrote.
This film is the story of those songs-the night journey out into the snow and of Schubert's own winter journey to his death, 150 years ago today, 19 November 1978. Benjamin Luxon sings ' Winterreise ' accompanied by DAVID WILLISON (piano)
