Gorgeous voice. A British Fischer-Dieskau.

Thank you for posting this amazing performance. The most profound Winterreise I have experienced.

His constant movement is quite distracting.

Singers should not only sound like a singer but also l o o k like a singer. I don't know what he was doing exactly bendiing down on arrival, appearing to pick something up off the floor but he looked like a removal man; he looks scruffy about the neck too. Then there's all that prancing around as he delivers the programme. Oh, yes, I forgot, he sings too. It wasn't until about ten minutes into the recital that I could erase from my mind the afore‐listed visual distractions. Pity.

Yes, Sir Simon wins you over with his unique artistry. And I also like the pianist. Because he refrains from point making.

Saw Sir Simon in Zurich recently. Tough crowd. He won them over. 4 encores. Bravo!

Recuerdo su genial versión de Don Giovanni en la Royal Opera House!!!

👏👏👏👏👏

[@antsblaschke]

my only criticism is that the great singer moves around a bit much. But yes, I think simon keenlyside is my kinda guy.

[@lidiatrombetta2552]

I found the pianist over-emphatic at times and the singer's voice somewhat unvarying in variety of tone and 'quality'. I'd had enough by about the sixth song. Sorry. Thanks for posting.
