Wende sings Tarenskeen’s Winterreise in New York!

With Tarenskeen’s composition, the “Lieder” become songs, the poetry turn into lyrics, and the recital becomes a performance. A battle between singer and pianist, staged by Gerardjan Rijnders.
Schubert’s hero tells of his long, winter journey. He is a rejected lover full of romantic sadness and longing for death. Wende: “An adventure that tells poetically about loss, transience, death, love, and acceptance.” Tarenskeen’s composition translates those emotions into contemporary life and thereby sheds new light on the original work. He will sing his score, crying, scrubbing, dancing, hammering, and whispering.
