12 See Winterreise

92nd Street Y, December 13.

Schubert’s song cycle of snow drifts, cracking ice, and fond memories of spring keeps challenging singers to great feats of sensitivity. Along with pianist Jeremy Denk, Eric Owens, a veteran of blockbuster opera productions (Wagner’s Ring and, more recently, Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess), keeps it small, simple, and sublime. j.d.
