Franz Schubert «Winterreise» D 911

Schubert's "Winterreise" for baritone and accordion? Yes, it is possible, at least when our former Focus artist Ksenija Sidorova is involved. The Latvian accordionist demonstrates time and again how versatile her instrument is, how effortlessly it transcends stylistic boundaries between classical, pop and tango. Now she and baritone Thomas Hampson – who was a regular guest at Zurich Opera House for many years – are embarking on a large-scale tour with what is probably the most famous song cycle of all. For the singer, it is a return to a work that has accompanied him for decades. And for the accordionist, it is another carefully thought-out experiment.
