Classical music: Today is the Winter Solstice and winter officially starts. The Ear greets it once again by listening to Franz Schubert’s song cycle “Winterreise.”
[…] arrival of the Winter Solstice , he listens to a recording of the song cycle “Winterreise” (Winter Journey”) by Franz Schubert . It takes about 70 minutes. One unforgettable hour plus. Too bad it isn’t performed live every year or featured every year on Wisconsin Public Radio . There are so many excellent recordings of the work. Over the years, The Ear has listened to the songs performed in recordings by Dietrich Fischer Dieskau , Haken Hagegard, Mark Padmore, Jonas Kaufmann and UW-Madison baritone Paul Rowe, who one year did perform it live with pianist Martha Fischer on the Winter Solstice at the First Unitarian Society of Madison *(below) — and it was magical.

H.K. Gruber: Daring to be different
H.K. Gruber © Georg Anderhub H.K. Gruber has never been afraid to be different. He has spent nearly fifty years at the forefront of European music successfully evading categorization. Whether madcap, melancholic, macabre, melodic or simply silly, Gruber’s music is always and absolutely individual. Gruber’s musical life began in the Vienna Boys’ Choir . He knew from a young age that he would compose, but the choirmaster, inspired by the young Gruber’s musicality and sheer size, suggested he learn the double bass. After graduating from the Vienna Hochschule he played with two orchestras and by 1969 was principal with the Austrian Radio Symphony Orchestra , where he stayed until 1997 – a decision, Gruber says, that enabled him always to remain independent as a composer.
