Accompanied by his long-time recital partner Justus Zeyen, Quasthoff's first-ever recording of Schubert's Die schöne Müllerin is being touted as the new benchmark recording.
This new DVD showcases Quasthoff's soulful interpretation of Schubert's Die Winterreise, filmed earlier this year in Berlin with Daniel Barenboim on the piano.
It captures not only Quasthoff's exceptional musicality but also the emotional gravity of his performance, which led Der Tagesspiegel to extol Quasthoff's astonishing ability "not so much recall events as relive them all over again, summoning them back to life".
In addition to the full concert, the DVD includes rich bonus footage from the rehearsal and interviews with Thomas Quasthoff and Daniel Barenboim - allowing a close look on how these two musical masterminds work out their vision of Schubert's touching masterpiece.
Two-time Grammy award winner and internationally acclaimed Schubert interpreter Thomas Quasthoff will release two all-new Schubert recordings this autumn, each featuring one of the composer's big song cycles.
Two brand-new Schubert releases by one of the world's foremost Schubert interpreters of our time - a celebration of German song.
Bonus material: rehearsal footage and personal interviews with Thomas Quasthoff and Daniel Barenboim
