My lecture of the Winterreise does not demand a new expressive interpretation, but instead systematically exercises the freedom which all interpreters allow themselves intuitively, such as: instrumental dilation i. e. acceleration of the pace, transposition into other keys and elaboration of characteristic color timbres. In addition, there are further ways of reading; the music; jumping around in the text, repeating certain lines, interrupting the continuity, comparing different expressions of the same phrase ... All these new possibilities are subjected to my compositional discipline and form autonomous formal processes which are imposed on Schuberts original. The transformation of the piano tones into a multifaceted orchestra full of resonance is only one of many aspects.(Hans Zender)CDs:Hans Peter Blochwitz (Tenor), Ensemble Modern, Conductor: Hans Zender CD BMG 9026-68067-2 Christoph Pregardien (Tenor), Klangforum Wien, Conductor: Sylvain Cambreling CD Kairos 0012002KAIJulien Pregardien (Tenor), Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Kaiserslautern, Conductor: Robert Reimer2 CD's P.RHEI (2016)Bibliography:Adam-Schmidmeier, Eva-Maria von: Schubert interpretieren.

During the winter months, large winter storms occur from time to time. These storms can be dangerous and beautiful at the same time. This composition starts off fast, dark, and furious and moves into a lighter side during the middle section and ending as it started. Pay close attention to all articulations and dynamics throughout the piece. Maintain a perfect balance between winds and percussion. The percussion section was written for groups who have many percussionists. Enjoy your journey through The Winter Storm.

The shimmering winter-themed text and lilting 6/8 rhythms dance right off the page in this contemporary choral like none other.
