A Christmas present from
Graubünden on British TV
In the red tower on the Julier Pass, filming has taken place for an
extraordinary classical project. Baritone Benjamin Appl presents
Schubert's "Winterreise" for the BBC.
Music history knows its super hit for every genre. A work that
combines everything that makes it so wonderful. When it comes to
the art form of the song, probably only one name comes up: "The
Winter Journey". At the beginning of November, the enchanting tones
of this timeless masterpiece by Franz Schubert were heard in the
tower on the Julier Pass, which was ravaged by the first snowstorm.
However, it was not an Origen concert organized by host Giovanni
Netzer, but took place behind closed doors, accompanied by an
enormous technical effort.
