Irrlicht (album)
''Irrlicht'', (subtitled "Quadrophonische Symphonie für Orchester und E-Maschinen"; English: ''Will-o'-the-wisp: Quadraphonic Symphony for Orchestra and Electronic Machines'') is the debut solo album by Klaus Schulze, originally released in August 1972 on Ohr Records. Recorded without synthesizers, ''Irrlicht'''s set of "early organ drone experiments" is "not exactly the music for which KS got famous". In 2006 it was the sixteenth Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records as part of a series of Schulze album reissues. Overview ''Irrlicht'''s atmospheric drone music tone is similar to Tangerine Dream's album '' Zeit'', released the same year. In 2005, Schulze said, "''Irrlicht'' still has more connections to Musique concrète than with today's electronics. I still never owned a synthesizer at the time."''Irrlicht'' CD booklet.

Winterreise
''Winterreise'' (, ''Winter Journey'') is a song cycle for voice and piano by Franz Schubert (Schubert Thematic Catalogue, D. 911, published as Opus number, Op. 89 in 1828), a setting of 24 Poetry, poems by German poet Wilhelm Müller. It is the second of Schubert's two song cycles on Müller's poems, the earlier being ''Die schöne Müllerin'' (D. 795, Op. 25, 1823). Both were originally written for tenor voice but are frequently Transposition (music), transposed to other vocal ranges, a precedent set by Schubert himself. The two works pose interpretative demands on listeners and performers due to their scale and structural coherence. Although Ludwig van Beethoven's cycle ''An die ferne Geliebte'' (''To the Distant Beloved'') was published earlier, in 1816, Schubert's cycles hold the foremost place in the genre's history. The cycle consists of a monodrama from the point of view of the wandering protagonist, in which concrete plot is somewhat ambiguous. After his beloved falls f ...
