Die schöne Müllerin D 795
Song Cycle on Poems by Wilhelm Müller
In November 1823, 26-year-old Franz Schubert—suffering from ill-health and periods of self-doubt—completed the first of his three great song cycles. It tells the story of a young miller’s apprentice who ends his own life after his failed courtship of the fair maid of the work’s title. Exactly 200 years later, Julian Prégardien brings Die schöne Müllerin to the Pierre Boulez Saal, with Kristian Bezuidenhout at the fortepiano recreating the cycle’s historic sound world.
