    There are tenors, and then there is Herr Wunderlich. Incomparable. The "ping" and presence on that A"ich grolle nicht"; the insanely long phrases of his Dies Bildniss; no other tenor should have recorded Das Lied von der Erde after his. And he could sing so tenderly, too. What that man did for Lieder should be extolled for generations. Alas, no telling what other jewels he may have produced had he lived...WOW!!!

    And now we come to one of the most remarkable pieces of music by Franz Schubert, his great song cycle "Winterreise" (which perhaps should be "Die Winterreise" but that's not how it appears on the title page of the score). Before we get into the cycle itself, I want to back up a bit and trace my own, perhaps odd, reception of this music.

    I was born in the 50s and my musical development was influenced by a lot of the music of the 60s. The reason for this was, while my mother was a musician, a violinist, she was not a classical one, but rather played what is called in Canada "old-time music", that is, jigs and reels and other traditional music. She called herself a fiddler. So, while I was surrounded by music my whole life, it didn't really capture my interest until the middle 60s when I was a teenager. I started listening to the rock and pop music of that time: the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Eric Burden and the Animals, the Incredible String Band, Cream and a host of others.

    Die schöne Müllerin (German pronunciation:[diːˈʃøːnəˈmʏlɐʁɪn],"The Fair Maid of the Mill", Op. 25, D. 795), is a song cycle by Franz Schubert from 1823 based on 20 poems by Wilhelm Müller. It is the first of Schubert's two seminal cycles (preceding Winterreise), and a pinnacle of Lied repertoire.

    Die schöne Müllerin is performed by a pianist and a solo singer. The vocal part falls in the range of a tenor or soprano voice, but is often sung by other voices, transposed to a lower range, a precedent estab
