REVIEW: Winterreise

Reading Time: 3 minutesSchubert's Winterreise is a deep and profound exploration of loneliness, melancholy and self-journey through an incredible chemistry between male voice, piano and the poignant verses by Wilhelm Müller, which was written just one year prior to Schubert’s untimely demise at 31.  German conductor Hans Zender orchestrated this masterpiece in 1993 by weaving in a myriad of modern soundscapes and instrumental techniques (such as huge array of percussion) that infuses Schubert with a contemporary flavour and psychological depth. 

REVIEW: Brown Horse

Reading Time: 2 minutesBrown Horse has just begun its UK tour in Glasgow; they will play up and down the country before finishing off in Dublin in May. Holy smokes (as they repeat in one of their unreleased songs), catch them while you can! This sextet is fresh out of Norwich, where they met and recorded their debut album, ‘Reservoir’.
