панков's Franz Schubert Winterreise

Numbered Limited 200 copies double clear vinyl LP on Boronia Schallfolien label.
It’s 2022, winter is upon us. Franz Schubert wrote the music when he was dying of syphilis, Wilhelm Müller died without being able to listen to the finished opus. 195 years after its first release, we have decided to take a leap into the unknown and put out our own version of Franz Schubert’s Winterreise. It has been a labour of love, pain, frustration, obsessive compulsive stubbornness…a tale full of wonder and suprises, a journey into life, decay and winter that has taken us to the edge of madness…and beyond.
We gave it all, everything we’ve got, there’s not much left in the old tank. fm has curated evey aspect of the work, like the artistic director, the conductor, the creative mastermind that he is.
Alex has tried to sing without distorting or perverting the natural beauty of the words and the harmonies. Did we honour the legacy of Schubert and Müller? Did we create something respectful, worth listening to, memorable in any way?
