This edition of Winterreise, along with the accompaniment CD, has been produced in order that you, the singer, may have the opportunity to practice your performance without an accompanist present. Winterreise is one of the greatest Romantic song cycles & we must ensure that it continues to be studied & performed. So, I offer this book & CD in the hope that it will encourage more singers to tackle these demanding songs. The accompaniments have been recorded with great care.
