Particularly renowned for his insightful and sensitive performances, acclaimed tenor Ian Bostridge is on fine form in these three major Schubert song cycles. Alongside his affecting interpretation of Die schöne Müllerin and deeply felt Winterreise is his celebrated recording of Schwanengesang, which won golden opinions for its 'marvellously haunting expression' (Gramophone). This three-disc set includes a bonus DVD of Winterreise with pianist Julius Drake, as well as the documentary film Over the Top with Franz.

This release coincides with Ian Bostridge's new book on Winterreise: Schubert's Winter Journey: Anatomy of an Obsession published by Faber & Faber.

"Ian Bostridge takes a resolute approach to a popular Schubert song cycle"
(William Dart NZ Herald for Schone Mullerin)

"Bostridge's first die Schöne Müllerin created a sensation in the song world. This new version, even more original and distinctive, confirms that the cycle will inextricably be linked with his name" (MusicWeb for Schone Mullerin)

"Deeply thought through and absorbed with creative imagination ... faithful to the music's form and structure ... highlights the emotional and psychological aspects with unusual insight. A performance Bostridge and Andsnes can be proud of ... enhances our understanding of this amazing cycle." (MusicWeb on Winterreise)
