Using the 24 songs of Schubert’s original Winterreise as inspiration, Roderick Williams has handpicked English songs that reflect each individual piece in this unique musical journey. Songs include those by Vaughan Williams, Britten, Finzi, Parry, Gurney and Ina Boyle as well as more modern works by Judith Weir Elizabeth Maconchy and Errollyn Wallen, inspired by the poetry of Shakespeare, Hardy, Blake, Tennyson, Yeats, de la Mare and Stevenson.
