Fischer-Dieskau: Mahler, Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen 

Even with his best vocal years behind him, his voice was just an absolute marvel. A perfectly integrated voice. And nobody had better musicality

Das ist ja herrlich: Dieses Konzert habe ich vor über 23 Jahren selber erlebt! Es war eines der letzten Konzerte, in denen ich Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau auf der Bühne erleben konnte. Das ist für mich eine wunderbare Erinnerung und ein schönes Stück Musikgeschichte :-) Vielen Dank!

As a conductor in germany let me say with tears in my eye: He was -oh no, he is- an singing angel-he will never die, he only is right in what he is singing in this Mahler-Clip: "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen..."

R.I.P the best baritone singer of our time. THE pure heavenly VOICE.

Une musique et un interprète qui nous laissent entrapercevoir la beauté infinie de l Éternité....

The fact that he was at the end of his career only makes the song more moving. If anyone lived alone in his song it was Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

Großartig, Fischer-Dieskau! R.I.P , für mich war er der beste Bariton und Interpret.

Wunderbar! I love how he always keeps his diction absolutely pure, so you can understand each and every word. Unlike many singers of German songs, he made NO compromises at all: no warping of vowels and softening of sounds considered "harsh" to some ears, and NO retreat from being first and foremost a first-class story-teller through the medium of song. He was the very epitome of baritones... and will remain a Gold Standard forever.

The wonderful, wonderful Fischer-Dieskau. May we thank him for bringing to us a full career of musical beauty and joy.

Trully amazing ... He has passed away the same day that Gustav Mahler, 18th May. Two genious, two giants in music. RIP Fischer-Dieskau.

My favorite baritone of all time. What I wouldn't give for an ounce of his technique/talent/interpreative powers,

I think the perfection comes from intellect, and thats how he conveys emotion. Its still clear I think his performance comes straight from the heart, he's not just a great technician.

Dame Janet Baker also sings this sublimely!

When I’m watching this clip, I’m always crying.

Even at 64 this man, one of the greatest artists of all time, could sing this immensely moving song more beautifully than it had ever been sung or , for that matter, ever will be. Joe Carbia Miami,Florida

This man will truly live forever

I had the pleasure of seeing / hearing him in this very song cycle in the 1970's. Unforgettable.

he was "past his prime" when he performed this. Makes NO DIFFERENCE! THIS....stunning....GORGEOUS. Every singer can learn from this one. Ach.... mein Gott...... Himmlisch!

now ,after his passing away this song has even a more special meaning , he was an artist in the whole sense of the concept. you will still giving us the comfort in those dark human moments.

Dieses Konzert habe ich in loco selber erlebt. Es ist 33 Jahre her... Unvergesslich!

My, my.... the passing of one of my idols. Why did I think he'd somehow always be with us? How much I learned from him. RIP.

Let us think about him a minute, he died after a happy life last week on 18.5.2015 ! ✞ R.I.P., Dietrich, danke für alles ! Ich hörte meine erste Winterreise überhaupt 1996 in einer frostigen Januarnacht (gesungen von ihm !) !

...one of my very favorite pieces in the whole world! LOVE this performance!

RIP DFD. Your velvet voice will echo forever.

RIP great man. You were and always will be an inspiration.

Wow, great version of this, such soul.

Magistrale interpretazione del bellissimo pezzo di Mahler

Sì, la più bella di tutte le canzoni!!!

Der Meister!

I saw him live when I was a student at NEC. He was amazing.

Genau, gut gesagt. English translation of Peter Pan's comment: He's saying that this poem's message shouldn't be a cause for teary-eyed sadness. What the text actually implies is that when you look back on an accomplished life, you can be quiet and content. I totally agree with this interpretation.

A master piece from the master,

Adieu Herr Fischer Dieskau, merci à vous du fond du coeur

he will always stay with us - in our minds!! RIP

Escuche por primera al maestro cuando apenos yo contaba con 20 años y desde ese momento me conmovió cantado arias barrocas, desde ese momento se convirtio en mi barito predilecto, trate de mantenerme pendiente de sus grabaciones y finalmente lo pude escuchar en vivo en Chicago en 1979. Esta maravillosa canción la escuche por primera vez en la estupenda interpretación de Jose Van Dam en el maestro de Música y de inmediato busque la version del Maestro y alli consegui la maravilla de combinar un Gran poema con una majestuosa Música y una excelsa interpretación, Siempre me conmovió esta canción y con cada año que transcurre se hace mas mia. GRACIAS Dietrich por existir.

Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen, Me he alejado del mundo Mit der ich sonst viele Zeit verdorben, en el que perdiera tanto tiempo, Sie hat so lange nichts von mir vernommen, Hace mucho que nada se ha sabido de mí Sie mag wohl glauben, ich sei gestorben! Puede muy bien creerse que estoy muerto! Es ist mir auch gar nichts daran gelegen, No hay, de hecho, nada que me importe Ob sie mich für gestorben hält, si se me considera muerto. Ich kann auch gar nichts sagen dagegen, Ni siquiera puedo negarlo. Denn wirklich bin ich gestorben der Welt. Realmente he muerto para el mundo. Ich bin gestorben dem Weltgetümmel, He muerto para el estruendo del mundo Und ruh' in einem stillen Gebiet! y descanso en una región silenciosa. Ich leb' allein in meinem Himmel, Vivo solo en mi cielo, In meinem Lieben, in meinem Lied! en mi amor, en mi canción.

28-5-2010 His 85 birthday today, what a gift to the world!

Me parece una magnífica interpretación,

Grandios

Thank you for the one who posted this video. A lied of my youth when I was at the French Conservatory of music :)

La perfection ! Rien ne peut égaler cette prestation! Les larmes me motent aux yeux chaque fois que je l'entends. Mahler était un génie! Le plus grand !

Its wonderfull❤

I was overcome when he sang the line, "Ich bin gestorben." Altareggo and Arminklaes, your posts are right on. Very moving.

wonderful!!!!! it just brakes my heart...

Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen, Mit der ich sonst viele Zeit verdorben, Sie hat so lange nichts von mir vernommen, Sie mag wohl glauben, ich sei gestorben! Es ist mir auch gar nichts daran gelegen, Ob sie mich für gestorben hält, Ich kann auch gar nichts sagen dagegen, Denn wirklich bin ich gestorben der Welt. Ich bin gestorben dem Weltgetümmel, Und ruh’ in einem stillen Gebiet! Ich leb’ allein in meinem Himmel, In meinem Lieben, in meinem Lied! ==== English translation by Emily Ezust ==== I am lost to the world with which I used to waste so much time, It has heard nothing from me for so long that it may very well believe that I am dead! It is of no consequence to me Whether it thinks me dead; I cannot deny it, for I really am dead to the world. I am dead to the world’s tumult, And I rest in a quiet realm! I live alone in my heaven, In my love and in my song!

This is, to me, simply the most beautiful art song I've ever heard. I have three recordings of it (Hampson, Schwartzkopf, DFD) and I never get tired of hearing it. This particular upload, unfortunately is very poor quality and doesn't do much in the way of providing enjoyment.

❤️!

Sono commosso, grande DFD, si percepisce proprio quanto sia dentro al bellissimo testo ed alla incredibile musica dei Ruckert Lieder di Mahler

Absolutely beautiful

The great use of a quarter tone at 3:49 is the reason I listen to this recording.

fisher Dieskau debes estar cantando en el bardo, tu canto es inmortal.....

1972 in Sapporo, every morning and every night Mahler has been ...from radio

My introduction to the lieder of Mahler was through this great voice. Sad news. RIP.

la voce di DFD è una delle gioie del mondo!!!! grazie L.

wow.

Thank You.

Mein Professor spielt das Englisch Horn, tolles Video, vielen Dank für's Hochladen! (My oboe professor plays the english horn! amazing video, thank you so much for uploading it!)

sublime

Einem schönes weltschmerz lied ...

Thank you

Спасибо за волшебство!

Isso é magia... Bravo.

One of the Ruckert lieder. There's a great cd with Lenny on piano and F-D singing this and other Mahler lieder.

es como ver el amanecer de un nuevo mundo fantástico volar a través de el y experimentar un jubilo glorioso y suave its like see the dawn of a new fantastic world and fly over all that place and experiment a glorious and soft joy sorry by my english

.... yes 3:49........ - and wonder a glimps of pure ..............

R.I.P., Fischer-Dieskau...

R.I.P Dieter und danke !!

Wonderful performance. His Hans Sachs is without peer, as well.

R.I.P.

Gorgeous singing of mr FD. I feel this is the best lied of all. I do prefer this lied sung by a male voice and my favorite for this is Jose Van Dam.

Thanks, Goodbye... Maestro....

ボクがリュッケルトのこの曲の演奏で最もジーンとして、涙が止まらなかったのは、このディースカウ先生のこの映像でのものです。 他界されてしばらく経ちますが、ディースカウ先生はみんなを感動させ続けてくださるでしょう！ この映像はいつ見ても涙が止まらないです。

I think he just gave concerts during the war. I have a DVD called "Autumn Journey." Very interesting, about F-D, plus a great Schubert recital F-D gave.

Distinguished hero of German Song. But of course his voice is not in its prime here. And the song benefits from the purity of a younger Baker.

What a regrettable quality of recording for such a marvelous performance! Maybe the 1st clarinette should have toned down too... ;-)

adieu Maître !

R.I.P

@mwoodward221 there's a great recording of this piece with D.F-D and Leonard Bernstein playing piano, I highly recommend it!

In reply to srothbardt: During DFD's first year at the Berlin conservatorium - aged 18 - he was conscripted into a veterinary unit in the German army. and was sent to the Eastern Front to look after draught horses used to pull supply wagons. He was allowed to visit his mother in Berlin after their home was bombed and was fortunately then diverted to Italy. (If he'd been captured by the Russians it's probable he would not have been released till the mid-fifties.) He was captured by the Americans in Italy two days before the end of the war and was released two years later in 1947.

RiP Herr Fischer-Dieskau

Tragische Musik, aber so wunderschön! Schade, dass der Ton ein bisschen zittert oder irre ich mich? Vielen Dank Mahler und Dieskau. Sie zeigen wieviel Musik uns Menschen bedeuten kann.

SOBRECOGEDOR. MAHLER, FISCHER-DIESKAU Y FIREDRICH RÜCKERT. CHAILLY CON LA CALIDAD DE SIEMPRE. JUAN MIGUEL. (MÚSICO).

Dietrich! Derek Mister!!!

@mwoodward221 hahaha good for you.. I think his Lied Von Der Erde with Bernstein as one of the best music ever!

孤漠的尘迹还残留我的碎影? 我的悲伤如此轻盈。

@mwoodward221 so what if you are a police officer?

Bloody hell. This is the English translation I am lost to the world, With which I used to waste so much time She has heard nothing from me for so long, She may well believe that I am dead. Not more morbid German music on RU-vid.

@mwoodward221 you are my favorite american police officer :)

@freddiefreeloader59 totally agree! thanks to FiDiTanzer528 who posted a really great performance of this Lied by FD, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Karl Böhm

@mwoodward221 it would be my sincere pleasure to be pulled over by you any day, sir

@freddiefreeloader59 La voce se n'è andata, ma l'espressività c'è ancora tutta e annoda lo stomaco.

And perhaps Kathleen Ferrier....

@raspi093 Mine too!!!

I'm an American school teacher and amateur singer who believes there isn't even the slightest doubt as to your assertion

That's an artists song. Of course he is lost to the world because there are many people, but I'm not referring to you, who say that they don't want more morbid German music on RU-vid. This doesn't refer to you because you are smart and sensitive music lover. Your intelligent irony was well placed and you shouldn't be bothered with unintelligent and desperate comments aimed to undermine it. You are a nice and tender person. Usually fools post messages on RU-vid. You analyze music and words.

okay maybe not an accomplished life, but at least the singer is "lost in song"

謹んでフィッシャー・ディスカウ氏のご逝去をお悼み申しあげます。

such an insensitive conductor.Did he read the text? Dieskau couldn t make music.Shame!!!

Escuchar y sentir lo mismo, que hermoso lo que siento gracias a poder oír, gracias!!! Si se oye pendejo pero es un privilegio escuchar cosas tan asombrosas y que den sensaciones que las puedes sentir al oír. Soy una changa que escucha a Mahler.
