Simon Keenlyside sings Befreit by Richard Strauss. Malcolm Martineau at the piano. 

The expression in the voice! It's just heartbreaking!

He is absolutely exceptional.

bravo Simon Keenlyside and Mo. Malcolm Martineau. Astonishingly singing and playing one beautiful song Befreit by Richard Strauss. ~

This has become my favourite performance of this incredible song. You both have created such an amazingly moving performance. So inside the music and the poetry and the truth of the moments in them. (I love the unusual key - it really works!)

Mesmerising, sincere and masterful.

Astonishing singing and playing of an astonishing song. Bravo Simon and Malcolm...!

So much to admire in this singer's artistry, relish from & be grateful! Really.

A wonderful Baritenor!

Better than Jonas Kaufmann, but I prefer women's voice for this lied and the best I heard, and I heard a lot, is Gundula Janowitz

I met him in NYC he's quite fond of himself
