SCHUBERT IN LIFE & SONGS III. Watershed. Die schöne Müllerin, Before & After 1821-1824

To mark the great composer’s birthday, we are delighted to share a new four-part video series exploring the life of Franz Schubert, presented by Graham Johnson (commissioned by John Gilhooly).
Having engaged with Schubert’s music for over five decades as an internationally celebrated performer, scholar and author, Johnson offers unique insights into Schubert’s story, building a vivid and detailed picture of this incomparable composer.
For the third part of Graham Johnson’s journey through Schubert’s life, he explores the years 1821-1824. These years are shaped by Schubert’s friendship with Franz von Schober, and in 1823 Schubert composed the first of his epoch-making song cycles Die schöne Müllerin. However, the period of 1823-24 was one of great pain, panic, depression and tragedy for the composer.

Alfonso und Estrella.... one of the most delightful, tuneful operas that Mozart never wrote.

To be shamed for visiting a prostitute.
To be guilty of having gotten syphilis.
To be slapped by one's father for not liking his favorite garden !!
What a society !

1:20:36 - reminiscent of the sonata d960 1st movement
