Recording & Production
This album was recorded in August 2024 at Konzerthaus Blaibach, Germany, with Michaela Wiesbeck as the recording producer, editor, and mastering engineer.
Interpretation
This album features Franz Schubert's "Winterreise" arranged for baritone and two guitars, a historically unproven but multidimensionally fascinating approach.
Performer Biography
Jonas Müller, the baritone on this album, is a prize winner of the 2024 International Lied Competition, organized by the Hugo Wolf Academy.
Composer Biography
Franz Schubert himself owned one or two guitars and occasionally played them, and guitar arrangements of his piano accompaniments helped spread his songs.
Compositional Technique
The arrangement for two guitars allows for a complete and lossless representation of the original piano part, while the plucked strings create a more intimate sound.
