Sir Thomas Allen - Mahler's Songs of a Wayfarer (Part 1) 

Sir Thomas Allen is one of the best and most accomplished singing artists of his generation - an extremely successful man. This clip is an example of singing at it's very best. Watch and learn.

I remember Tom singing Billy Budd with the WNO in the early seventies. He was a perfect fit for the role. His German pronunciation here is of native-speaker standard.

A very fine voice and I love his art song CDs,Songs my Father taught me,fantastic.

What awesome control this guy has.

Great to see this back on. I love it.

Seeing the bloke on the triangle reminds me of my place in music lessons of old.

Triangle LIT AF!!

Can't agree. I think if some one praises the person whom they like, its a good thing. Besides, he's not only a good singer, he is also a good actor, iv seen his don giovanni and a bit of le nozze.. he's amazing

What is the orchestra? It isn't the Czech Philharmonic, which Neumann used to conduct.

@Schell77 Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra, they did a good job than many orchestras who have attempted the song cycle

@gbarnardoh The musicians are young, I'm guessing it's a youth orchestra.

adding vibrato to the glock

0:10 F**king Pro!!! The Triangle is in the hands of Hubris Himself!!!
