Schubert’s entrancing music captures all the elements of the storyline: from the cheery celebration of the journeyman’s freewheeling early life; to the confessional lament of a man in love; to the jagged jealousy at the hunter’s appearance; and then to the young man’s final resignation as he releases himself to the rippling water.
