I always find Prey extremely inspiring, sincere and spontaneous in his delivery of everything he sings. He had those qualities in abundant quantities as few singers I have seen did. His voice is extremely beautiful, the timbre rich and lyrical, but what I find most amazing is his ability to use his vocal resources and ally them perfectly to sing the melody in the most expressive but unpretentious way.
Einfach wunderbar und beeindruckend wie ausdrucksstark und ungeziert er die Lieder singt! Hvorostovsky und Prey sind meine absoluten Favoriten dieses unglaublich facettenreichen und lebendigen Zyklus. Vielen Dank fürs Hochladen!! Beste Grüße!
Given that the German language is not as musical or poetic as those with Latin at its roots and tends to have a vocabulary that is so guttural and even coarse, it is miraculous to hear a singer like this who can capture deep and tender human emotion. I was taken by surprise.
Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen: II. "Ging heut morgen übers Feld" Song by Gustav Mahler OverviewVideosAnalysisLyricsTop recordings Ging heut morgen uebers Feld, Tau noch auf den Graesern hing; Sprach zu mir der lust'ge Fink: Ei du! Gelt? Guten Morgen! Ei gelt? Du! Wird's nicht eine schoene Welt? Zink! Zink! Schoen und flink! Wie mir doch die Welt gefaellt! Auch die Glockenblum' am Feld Hat mir lustig, guter Ding', Mit den Gloeckchen, klinge, kling. Ihren Morgengruss geschellt: Wird's nicht eine schoene Welt? Kling, kling! Schoenes Ding! Wie mir doch die Welt gefaellt! Heia! Und da fing im Sonnenschein Gleich die Welt zu funkeln an; Alles Ton und Farbe gewann Im Sonnenschein! Blum' und Vogel, gross und klein! Guten Tag, ist's nicht eine schoene Welt? Ei du, gelt? Schoene Welt? Nun faengt auch mein Glueck wohl an? Nein, nein, das, ich mein', Mir nimmer bluehen kann!
The conductor Vaclav Neuman from Czechoslovakia was told to be one of the best cognoscentes on Mahler. But having listened to records with his interpretation of Mahler's symphonies as a first time of meeting Mahler he dissuaded me from Mahler, really. I even thought he (G.M.) was a mess combined with boredom (I was very young)! It had to be Leonard Bernstein later whose interpretation opened Mahler's music for me. Forever. Here Vaclav Neuman does very well but the overal good impression from this concert is very much due to qualities of Herr Hermann Prey's. To whom the orchestra makes a quite good accompaniment,-).
Hermann Prey schmalzt furchtbar. Obwohl er eigentlich eine starke Baritonstimme besitzt, setzt er nur allzuoft vielzuviel und dem Gegenstand völlig unangemesses Vibrato ein.
Bravo lieber Hermann Prey. grossartig gesungen.
So expressive, beautiful singing! And the violin at the end..!
Einer der besten lied von Mahler❤

Prey had an extremely special voice, luminous.
He always makes me feel happy.
My children love him so much. Sometimes they give his photos kiss.
That´s wonderful. (And I think it is understandable, since he himself is like a pure and happy child in the best possible meaning!)
ich mag seinen blick den er immer beim singen hat ;) danke für die tolle aufnahme
Prey ist einfach gr0ßartig!
Genau so.
This is most beautifully sung!
There is something truly wonderful about HP. His song singing is wonderful. His personality!
One of Mahler's best songs performed by one of the greatest ever to sing it.
Honesto y sincero su canto y su emoción. Llega al oído y al corazón. Uno de los grandes intérpretes del Lied alemán.

Immer wieder herrlich anzuhören!
He is so unique, noone can't sing like him.
in tears.
Fabulous. Many thanks.

Sehr schön
Oh, from the middle of the performance, he seems to be crying soon. Seine Augen glinzen.
wow, the ending is so depressing... what an emotional performance
Einfach herrlich!

Ging heut morgen uebers Feld,
Tau noch auf den Graesern hing;
Sprach zu mir der lust'ge Fink:
Ei du! Gelt?
Guten Morgen! Ei gelt?
Du! Wird's nicht eine schoene Welt?
Zink! Zink! Schoen und flink!
Wie mir doch die Welt gefaellt!
Auch die Glockenblum' am Feld
Hat mir lustig, guter Ding',
Mit den Gloeckchen, klinge, kling.
Ihren Morgengruss geschellt:
Wird's nicht eine schoene Welt?
Kling, kling! Schoenes Ding!
Wie mir doch die Welt gefaellt!
Heia!
Und da fing im Sonnenschein
Gleich die Welt zu funkeln an;
Alles Ton und Farbe gewann
Im Sonnenschein!
Blum' und Vogel, gross und klein!
Guten Tag, ist's nicht eine schoene Welt?
Ei du, gelt? Schoene Welt?
Nun faengt auch mein Glueck wohl an?
Nein, nein, das, ich mein',
Mir nimmer bluehen kann!
Thank you!!!
The conductor is Vaclav Neumann.
Ich mag ihn einfach!
Im studying this song in music class lol
He is so handsome

Which orchestra is Rafael Kubelik conducting here? Sinfonie Orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunk?
doesn't look like Kubelik... isn't he Vaclav Neumann...?
3:01 a flock of geese just hit a turbine.

I'd thought this song is best sung by a woman, but this guy might change my mind.
Lol

Ja er ist einfach großartig und ist mit dem Herzen dabei! Es versteht halt nicht jeder.
