Brahms: "Feldeinsamkeit", Op. 86, No. 2 Fischer-Dieskau, Demus

[@markhedman1884]

I appreciate how DFD gently shapes the phrases. On the final phrase of the first stanza, they move the tempo forward, and they do this on other phrases. But when the final phrase returns, the tempo is keep stricter, giving more of a feeling of spaciousness; it is begun softly and the crescendo is gradually paced. On the final word, raume (spaces), he lingers on each note of the turn, slides slightly to the high note, and sings it with floating tone and lingers on it, and slides down on the final consonant 'm'.

Wow! This was absolutely gorgeous! The voice, the words and the images: a perfect union. Thank you so much.

Happy birthday to you, Mr Fischer-Dieskau 28/05/1925- 18/05/2012. One of the best baritone singers of all time!

[@raymondgood2359]

francesco 90,in ann arbor he sang the mahler kindertotenlieder. after the concert i told him he was, along with arthur rubinstein , my favorite musician. i also asked him if i could shake his hand , which he very graciously did.

La mejor versión de este Lied

[@EudoraPrice]

Wonderful!!

[@escamillo85]

che meraviglia.....

[@danielapedi4202]

Sublime❤️

[@charlesrae3793]

Brahms' lieder are very much underrated. He is up there with Schubert , if less thought of as a lieder-writer.

[@LibbySingsMezzo]

Great video.

[@hrncds]

Maravilhoso

[@jenspen]

Bliss.

[@Dan474834]

Finale of Mahler's Third is largely based on this, together with Parsifal and Beethoven String Quartet 16.

[@Protenor]

Fascinating comment. I found the similarity you mean in the Mahler, still trying to find something in the other pieces.

[@jackdomanski6758]

Absolutely!

[@Dan474834]

@@Protenor I mean that the finale of Mahler’s Third is based on those three pieces, not the other way around.

[@oakroom48]

Oh Karen ... thank you. Our dear DiFi : '
