Franz Schubert’s masterpiece, his song cycle Winterreise, bewildered his friends when he first played it through to them. 200 years on, it still challenges musicians of every generation. In this beautiful film, Benjamin Appl (baritone) and James Baillieu (piano) re-imagine the songs at the top of a mountain pass in Switzerland in a way that emphasises the timelessness of Schubert’s music.
