Des Fischers Liebesglück - Philippe Sly, John Charles Britton, Franz Schubert 

Finally Schubert with guitar instead of a loud piano. Brilliantly done! Thank you both very much.

His interpretation of the German composers is unlike anything else I've heard. I've seen criticism that his approach is too "soft," but I am not always a fan of traditional opera for this reason, with some exceptions--Philippe's "softness" is deliberately and brilliantly utilized and makes the music sound more personal and easy to relate to. It's very modern and brings a tenderness to these famous songs that is so special and emotional and moving and different from other artists. It's given me a completely different appreciation for Schubert's Lieders when previously I've always approached him through the lens of a pianist. Thank you both for making these great videos available to us. Mathieu--you're so talented at matching the emotion of the music to the visuals and capturing these wonderful gestures and expressions.

The environment, the guitarist, the singer, the interpretation, the delicacy of feelings, the incredible time spent studying to reach this level of perfection, seem to me to be the height of good taste. Hearing and seeing something so pure, one gets the impression that wars are impossible, differences are unlikely, and hate is utopia, not love.

for Brazilian ears, Philippe's singing and the guitar arrangement make it sound like bossa nova Schubert. Really surprising and great. One more proof that Schubert's lieder are for the ages, a never-ending source of musical wonder.

That was the most beautiful singing that I heard in a very very long time...and the guitar accompaniment was brilliant...#genius #baritone

Fischers Liebesglück sehr sehr schön gesungen und begleitet.

I am really blown away by the talent involved in this video. I play classical guitar, I sing and I am a professional photographer. All the elements come together so beautifully! I did not know the song. Kudos. Exceptional.

These two are the perfect combination. His voice is soft and strong at the same time. I absolutely love it. 💖💖

I appreciate the delicacy, sensitivity, grace, harmony and finesse of this magnificent tenor singing 'Des Fischers Liebesglück,' Philippe Sly. Guitarist John Charles Britton warm and slow tempo resonates in symmetry with the singer. The rhythmen in 'Des Fischers Liebesglück' is edited to perform on guitar. I enjoy this version more than when it is performed on the piano. KUDOS to P. Sly & J. C. Britton for this serene serenade.

ich kann das tausendmal hören. die stimme, dies timbre ist einfach genau richtig und passend für das lied. philippe sly könnte die gesangsgewohnheiten revolutionieren!

J'ai toujours adoré schubert. Et je reste très difficile quant aux interprètes. Votre interprétation, cher Philippe, est au-delà de la beauté. Vous êtes le meilleur mélodiste que j'ai jamais entendu. Je parle de votre voix si subtile, de votre timbre et de votre technique maîtrisée. J'y ajoute ce qui prime toujours pour moi dès qu'on me raconte une histoire en musique : l'intelligence du texte et l'émotion sans effet superflu. Le guitariste est en accord parfait. Merci à vous deux.

One of the best young singers around today, bravo Philippe and thanks, Mathieu!

How can one not love this? Beautiful sadness.

I've listened to this 6 times since discovering it yesterday. In love.

So beautiful. A sweetness and a gentleness is so profoundly sung.

I have goose bumps. Heavenly beautiful...

Magnifique! Merci Philippe Sly.

Interpretació i acompanyament absolutament delicats.

Sehr, sehr schön, gefühlvoll und der Text ist so gut zu verstehen für ein deutsches Ohr. Very, very beautiful, emotional and the lyrics are so good to understand for a German ear. Thanks a lot!

Qué voz mas maravillosa y una interpretación fantástica .... Bravooooo !!!! Schubert debe estar mas que orgulloso

dear Philippe, this is a very special and wonderful way to sing this lovely song, very lively and full with your own spirit . Great, thanks you, Kiss from Berlin :))

Das Lied am schönsten!

Leopoldo de la Argentina. Excelente interpretación, impecable fraseo y musicalidad, hermoso timbre de voz. ¡Felicitaciones Philippe!

Magnifique. Belle voix maîtrisée souple et harmonieuse. J'aime beaucoup ce duo guitare voix.

Beautiful voice and with beautiful guitar accompaniment!

Magnifique. Merci pour ce très beau moment de musique.

So geniessend! Perfect Deutsch, Schuberts Sprache. Wunderschön!!!

How extraordinarily beautiful! Thank you so much, and bravo both!

This sounds so modern

Great, Chapeau & Hochachtung. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Ein Handgeklapper mit Begeisterung, auch allgemein eine Würdigung für eure Leistungen.

Un Ange passe !❤❤🎶🎶🤷‍♂

What a voice! Blessed by god!

so touching, and Mathieu is a great videographer, maintaining audience attention...and the sound of the video is amazing, showing every detail of emotion

Amén de sutil melodista, Schubert supo cantar la expresión de contento que procura la proximidad del ser amado. La canción amorosa logra en él un nivel hasta entonces insospechado en la “música culta”, tanto por su sencillez como por su tersura. Se dirige a quien ama tal adolescente que confiesa con el candor primero la llama de un amor inalterable. Sus lieds, a la manera de aquellas canciones populares que se aprenden en la infancia, parecen venidos desde la hondonada del tiempo. Es el caso de estas letrillas que declaran “la dicha del pescador enamorado” que John Charles Britton y Philippe Sly brindan despojadas de todo acento “lírico”. Britton a la guitarra sin florilegios sostiene la voz desnuda y cálida de Philippe Sly que concibe el canto cual experiencia anímica. «Considero la práctica del canto y el trabajo para lograrlo como una prolongación de mí mismo. Es una forma de descubrirse un tanto mística. Utilizo esta palabra aposta puesto que volverse cantante es casi comparable a una experiencia espiritual».

Beautiful. I love Schubert and this is one of the most beautiful interpretations of Schuberts Songs. Really intimate and real.

Amo demais esse cantor e as musicas de Schubert são divinas!!!O violonista também é espetacular...

Translation : The fisherman's luck in love English Translation © Richard Wigmore Yonder light gleams through the willows, and a pale glimmer beckons to me from the bedroom of my sweetheart. It flickers like a will-o’-the-wisp, and its reflection sways gently in the circle of the undulating lake. I gaze longingly into the blue of the waves, and greet the bright reflected beam. And spring to the oar, and swing the boat away on its smooth, crystal course. My sweetheart slips lovingly down from her little room, and joyfully hastens to me in the boat. Then the breezes gently blow us again out into the lake from the elder tree on the shore. The pale evening mists envelop and veil our silent, innocent dallying from prying onlookers. And as we exchange kisses, the waves lap, rising and falling, to foil eavesdroppers. Only stars in the far distance overhear us, and bathe deep down below the course of the gliding boat. So we drift on blissfully, in the midst of darkness, high above the twinkling stars. Weeping, smiling, we think we have soared free of the earth, and are already up above, on another shore. Translation by Richard Wigmore

Bravissimo, wonderful voice!

I love this song, and this is a beautiful interpretation.

Darker, softer, i'd fall asleep in your arms... 💝

ВОЛШЕБНО!

It is wildly original in legato and utterly engaging

Simply beautiful. Thank you.

Sly's tone and delivery is impeccable!

Um belo poema e canto à sensibilidade, ao amor e à imaginação. (A beautiful poem and song about sensitivity, love and imagination.)

I'm in love for your singing and interpretativos. Amazing!

Bel Canto is a traditional classical voice field. It emphasizes "beautiful singing". It's Hallmark is missa di voce. The intonation swell.

Intense beauty, the voice.

This is lovely! Well done.

Merci Mathieu!

Ahhhhh LOVE it 👌👌💌💌💌💌

Like this. The guitar (Schubert was a guitarist) works so well here. I'm guessing most songs in this album are pitched 1/3 down than they would be with a piano.

very good! is magnifique!

Merci, trop beau !

Bravo Philippe 👍🙏

Very nice interpretation of this hauntingly beautiful song. Your pronunciation is close to native German!

Respekt. Seine Aussprache ist sehr gut. Die Interpretation interessant.

the best Câmara Singer now a data!

Los Líderes deShuber son románticos y aasibles,como este .

Qué belleza...

Qu’est-ce qu’il a une belle voix.

I have an on-going fantasy that Philippe and Edwin Crossley-Mercer will record an album together. I don't even care what it is!

Love the shirt.

Thanks, beauty!

dass er so einen neuen gesangsstil pflegt. dass er seine stimme nicht durch die ausbildung entfremdet hat lassen, dass er weich artikuliert, ganz natürlich, dass er sich die bewegungen erlaubt- der gesang geht tief in mich hinein und trägt mich, ob das der anfang eines neuen belcanto w2erden könnte? please come to germany and sing for us!!

Absolutely beautiful, both guitar and voice! I add my bit of salt to the discussions.... i've never liked traditional bass-baritones, most of them sound so artificially grave/bass to me.... if singing affectedly grave/bass is the "real opera bass-baritone", then I simply do not like it. Philippe Sly sings effortless, beautifully, the notes flow like a warm breeze, he sings clear without affection. Since I discovered him a few month ago I cannot stop listening to him.

Is it possible to get the tabulatur for the guitar for this song? Really wonderful! Everything of course..

one could think German is your mother language ☺

Where can I find this arrangement for guitar? I can only find piano accompaniment. :( Also, I would love to do this with high voice and guitar.

Polisch... Dam tu swe Nazwisko PHILIPPE 🎉 JOHN 🎉 TO P I Ę K N E W Y K O N A N I E sygnuję Wam Andrzej Celmer Zajączkowski 23 05 2024 Gratuluję ❤

Nefis yorum

Похоже чем-то на Bathory.

nope.. what are you doing? go to the Mountains, at night in a boat.. kiss your beloved one and then try again.. This Boat is an American inflatable rubber boat

su playera de joda 😂

So sehr ich Philippe Sly schätze, das hier ist bei weitem nicht sein wahres Format. Die Artikulation wirkt leider viel zu passiv. Kein Vergleich mit seinem brillianten Händel -Messias.

The voice is very coarse and sounds half-trained. His approach to notes above the staff is positively amateur.
