Page 17 - Winterreise Coverage Book, 2021 - 22

And German baritone Benjamin Appl (whom I haven’t heard before) and

pianist James Baillieu are doing Schubert’s greatest song-cycle,
“Winterreise” (Winter’s Journey), a work always worth investigating

(streaming Jan. 26 - Feb.1). There’s also an eclectic afternoon with the
superb Danish String Quartet (First Church in Cambridge, Jan. 30), an

afternoon with the charming soprano Susanna Phillips (including more
Schubert), Obama inaugural clarinetist Anthony McGill and pianist Myra

Huang (GBH Calderwood Studio and streaming, March 13), and an as-yet-
to-be-announced program with the wonderful Brooklyn Rider string

quartet joined by Israeli mandolin virtuoso Avi Avital (GBH Calderwood
Studio and streaming, March 18).

It's not exactly “classical” music, but I call your attention to a Celebrity
Series concert co-hosted with the Cambridge Public Library called “Letter

& Spirit” featuring Boston’s irresistible poet and spoken word artist Regie
Gibson and the world-music quintet Atlas Soul. Admission is free.

(Harvard-Epworth United Methodist Church, Feb. 26).
