Opera Wire

“Extraordinary…Rachel Fenlon’s Winterreise is spellbinding.”

BBC Radio 3 

Canadian soprano and pianist Rachel Fenlon brings her self-accompanied performance of Schubert’s Winterreise for her Hong Kong debut. 

Rachel Fenlon has distinguished herself internationally with her unique self-accompanied song recitals, showcasing her exceptional talent as both singer and pianist. She brings these talents together in Schubert’s Winterreise, becoming the first artist to record this masterpiece with self-accompaniment. Traditionally performed by a man and written from a male perspective, this emotionally rich and deeply poetic work finds new life through Fenlon’s female transposition. Her exquisite tone, profound musicality, and superb pianism create a fresh and nuanced interpretation, reminiscent of Schubert’s original Vienna premiere where he sang and played for his friends.

Rachel recorded Winterreise as her debut album, which has garnered widespread critical acclaim, being named Album of the Week by CBC Music (Canada) and BBC Radio 3, and Album of the Month by Classic 106 FM. Following celebrated performances across Europe, Canada, the UK and South America, Fenlon is now bringing her unique talents to Hong Kong.

This is a rare opportunity to witness one of the most exceptional interpretations of a timeless classic.
