Iain C. Phillips emails us to announce the launch of winterreise.online, a website dedicated to all things Winterreise [Note: the website is currently defunct].

As an integral element of the developer’s ongoing research into interpretations of arguably the greatest song-cycle ever written, the website winterreise.online was recently launched by Iain C. Phillips. This site d’hommage to Schubert’s Winterreise presents and will maintain a comprehensive and accurate overview of commercially available recordings with timings and relevant data, films, books, online videos, articles, translations, artworks and links to scholastic sources and other websites. In addition, an up-to-date listing of upcoming performances of Winterreise around the globe is available: please feel free to comment and/or contribute with tips and dates!

Contributions and suggestions are always welcome, essential even. The developer needs your help to make and keep this website the go-to resource for all things Winterreise: be critical, be thorough, but above all ― be forthcoming! Do let Iain know what you feel about the website in general, what it could benefit from, anything else you would like to find on such a resource, if you encounter any errors or omissions; in short: get and stay in touch! Please use the contact form on the website or send e-mail to Iain via mail(at)diewinterreise(dot)net.

Please note: the website is very image-rich, so although the website has a responsive design, your best viewing experience would be on a desk- or laptop, or a tablet in landscape mode.

The website has been impressively put together and is clearly the result of an enormous amount of work and dedication. It belongs in the bookmark list of every Schubert fan.

Iain has our best wishes for his new venture.

Update 16.07.2019

The website has changed its domain to winterreise.online. The link in the article and on our Schubert Collection page has been changed accordingly.

Update 14.09.2026

Dr Iain C. Phillips died on 15 October 2021. His website, winterreise.online, is currently defunct: the domain name has changed hands, its original content has disappeared and the URL redirects to a domain broker (best avoided).

It is, however, possible to access previous versions of the website using the Wayback Machine.

Iain's work on Winterreise is certainly worth preserving. It may be that we can retrieve the phoenix from the ashes in which it currently rests. [My thanks to Dr Brian Chapman, who alerted me to Dr Phillips' death.]
