Jan 25, 2008 - What a sad sad song, written by the greatest song writer of all.

Feb 18, 2008 - Thanks a lot to the poster. What a perfect interpretation. Every subtlety of the voice is there, every emotion is deeply felt. And such a beautiful video too, with the paintings and the bare winter trees outside the window of the concert room.

Feb 21, 2008 - You speak out of my soul, you're so right! The impression and the feeling I get while listening to it is full of sadness and dramatic! You can nearly hear what Schubert must have thought!

NiallMS Says:

Feb 27, 2008 - Ralf Gothoni is rather Schubertian in appearance!!

Mar 13, 2008 - Ich werde euch einen Zyklus schauerlicher Lieder vorsingen. Ich bin begierig zu sehen, was ihr dazu sagt. Sie haben mich mehr angegriffen, als dies bei anderen der Fall war. Mir gefallen diese Lieder mehr als alle, und sie werden euch auch noch gefallen. Your song is just the world that Schubert desired!!! Wunderbar!!

Mar 17, 2008 - Jorma and Kiril Kozlovsky made last autum winterreise tour. Jorma's singing is still great. In summer 2008 Jorma sings Rigoletto in Savonlinna opera festival.

May 21, 2008 - Well, the Winterreise tour wasn't exactly in autumn (there was only one concert-in Savonlinna), though there were three more in February 2008.

Rupushae Says:

Jun 27, 2008 - I often think of the German soldiers who remained alive and staggered into captivity after the battle of Stalingrad when I hear this song. I picture the Old frost bitten organ grinder with his sullen face and empty plate looking mutch like the soldaten in the old news reels that I have seen. Its heart wrenching. I will never forget the night I sat and listened to the entire winter reise work from beginning to end. It made Schubert my favorite composer. Marek.

Sep 2, 2008 - Jorma Hynninen is a great baritone.

xiaxia45 Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - That's Jorma Nevala not Hynninen!

prolongasjonspedal Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - No, this is Hynninen... there's only one.

untamovaan Says:

Sep 30, 2008 - Sigh... I should order this DVD... I have about 15 hours of Hynninen singing lieds, Finnish and other, in my computer

Mar 2, 2009 - Who is responsible for the video work? Beautiful work all...

jmbankens Says:

Mar 4, 2009 - Absolutely gorgeous! I love this song cycle so much and Jorma Hynnenin's interpretation is both gut wrenching and heart breakingly beautiful.... Bravo!

tigerbeetle1 Says:

Apr 20, 2009 - I like Jorma Kaukonens blues better but this is high brow stiff very good as well!
