Summary:A made-for-television film of Schubert's last complete song-cycle, composed on his death-bed. It stars the brilliant young British tenor, Ian Bostridge, accompanied by international pianist, Julius Drake; the art director is Olivier Award-winner, Ian MacNeil.
A young man reflects on his past, his loves, his hopes and dreams in songs of extraordinary power and sadness. As he muses, his thoughts seem to come to life - spooky and beautiful characters people the empty room where he sits. Are they real or imaginary?
