Ian Bostridge and Schubert are on close terms. The tenor’s Schubert’s Winter Journey: Anatomy of an Obsession, published in 2015, reinforced vocal persuasiveness with a book of seasoned insight and empathy. Accompanied by the Royal Northern Sinfonia’s music director Lars Vogt, he tackles the posthumous Schwanengesang wrapped around Beethoven’s ardent love letter An die ferne Geliebte, Op. 98.
