Dear ComteAnckarstrom, Thank you for posting this. I agree with your comment about Hotter. He is the best interpreter of lied that I have ever heard. He has an integrity in his singing with is without equal.
Masterful, humble interpreter, not trying to overrun the song, so beautiful in everything here. Best work on this almost too popular lieder... Thank you,
Most singers take a virtuoso approach and make this a 'big' song, a showpiece. It has that capability, but Hotter sings the sentiment, the pleading of the words is embodied in his voice.
I've always interpreted the poem of this lied not as a simple seremade, but as Beast begging for the attention of a Beauty he deep down knows won't come to him. Hans Hotter's voice fits that role flawlessly.
Que maravilla!!!, extraordinario bajo-baritono cantando con la dulzura de un angel!!! Que maravillosa técnica vocal y que gran talento y sentimiento musical. BRAVO!!!
John Schofield Es que el registro de voz Bajo para mí es muy bueno porque permite ser juntado con otro registro de voz ya que un Bajo tener el tipo Barítono o tener el tipo Ligero también llamado Bajo Cantante que es el que puede llegar al Do5. Ademas fui Bajo Barítono ya que en la página web del entrenador vocal Ulises Calvo usé el audio de la subida y no la pude hacer del todo por lo que hubo una parte de la subida en la que no quise seguirla del todo para no arriesgarme a forzar la garganta en caso de que me pudiese haber pasado. Actualmente soy muy bueno usando todos los registro de voz ya que usé todos en mi coro adaptándolos de forma que se puedan usar de forma adecuada pero primero fue mi voz lírica de Contratenor. A la hora de la verdad entono mejor las notas del Bajo y las notas del Barítono porque hace un tiempo atrás en una clase de Canto aprendí a entonar bien las notas del Do4 a Fa4 por lo que canto como Bajo Barítono cuando quiero hacer la subida hasta que yo decida subir a Contratenor lírico.
There is so much to study, to reflect upon in this extraordinarily restrained and beautiful interpretation. And the partnership between Hotter and Moore is unmatched. Thank you for posting.
Ständchen Serenade Leise flehen meine Lieder Softly my songs plead Durch die Nacht zu Dir; Through the night to you; In den stillen Hain hernieder, Down into the silent grove, Liebchen, komm’ zu mir! Beloved, come to me! Flüsternd schlanke Wipfel rauschen Slender treetops whisper and rustle In des Mondes Licht; In the moonlight; Des Verräters feindlich Lauschen My darling, do not fear Fürchte, Holde, nicht. That the hostile betrayer will overhear us. Hörst die Nachtigallen schlagen? Do you not hear the nightingales call? Ach! sie flehen Dich, Ah, they are imploring you, Mit der Töne süssen Klagen With their sweet, plaintive songs Flehen sie für mich. They are imploring for me. Sie verstehn des Busens Sehnen, They understand the heart’s yearning, Kennen Liebesschmerz, They know the pain of love, Rühren mit den Silbertönen With their silver notes Jedes weiche Herz. They touch every tender heart. Lass auch Dir die Brust bewegen, Let your heart, too, be moved, Liebchen, höre mich! Beloved, hear me! Bebend harr’ ich Dir entgegen! Trembling, I await you! Komm’, beglücke mich! Come, make me happy!
@BrianDonaldMcKay Ce morceau est tout en clair-obscur.Il balance entre passion et angoisse,espoir et doute,révolte et résignation.Le timbre et la nature de Hotter neutralisent trop ces contrastes car ils manquent de brillance et de nervosité.
@abracadabranque Quand le vent fait murmurer les cimes des arbres, au clair de lune, et c'est plutôt les rossignols qui expriment le désir du poète, on ne va pas crier ses Fa et son crescendo comme le fait un Fischer-Dieskau. Stutzman va dans le même sens que Hotter.
Beautiful, but very much of its time. It's funny how there are fashions even in lieder interpretations. If somebody sang this like him now, I don't think it would work.
A. Schier wish if somebody would sing the lied in this way! this is true art and this is the spirit of Schubert. Unfortnately today lied is spoken, not sung, the love, the eros inside the lied are gone. I fall in love with this great artist.
Softly plead my songs Through the night to you; Down to the silent grove, Darling, come to me! Whisper sweet nothings In the moonlight; Listening to the traitor's hostile My fair, don't be afraid. Hear the nightingales beat? Ah! They beg you, With the sounds of sweet laments Beg for me. You understand the sinews of the bosom, Know love's pain, Stirring with the silver tones Every soft heart. Let your chest move too, Sweetheart, hear me! I await you trembling. Come, make me happy.
@@ethiopianenterprises1524 thanks! FINALLY!!! lol.. they really talking about awaiting the trembling and knowing bosoms and all that, huh?!? WELL, WELL, WELL!!
