Franz Schubert about the winter journey: "I will sing you a cycle of horrible songs. I'm curious to see what you guys have to say about that. They attacked me more than others. I like these songs more than any, and you will too.”
After various complete recordings of operas and operettas, Schubert's Winterreise is Michael Kupfer's first solo CD.
