Joyce DiDonato	Mezzo-soprano
Yannick Nézet-Séguin	Piano

A power duo of Joyce DiDonato (one the world’s greatest singers) and Yannick Nézet-Séguin (a thrilling conductor-pianist) perform one of music’s greatest song cycles: Schubert’s harrowing and compellingly tragic Winterreise. The two dozen songs in this cycle chart a journey through an icy winter landscape, telling tales of alienation and loneliness. Schubert’s gift for what Liszt described as “dramatizing lyrical inspirations to the highest degree” comes to life in this riveting performance.
