The environment, the guitarist, the singer, the interpretation, the delicacy of feelings, the incredible time spent studying to reach this level of perfection, seem to me to be the height of good taste. Hearing and seeing something so pure, one gets the impression that wars are impossible, differences are unlikely, and hate is utopia, not love.
His interpretation of the German composers is unlike anything else I've heard. I've seen criticism that his approach is too "soft," but I am not always a fan of traditional opera for this reason, with some exceptions--Philippe's "softness" is deliberately and brilliantly utilized and makes the music sound more personal and easy to relate to. It's very modern and brings a tenderness to these famous songs that is so special and emotional and moving and different from other artists. It's given me a completely different appreciation for Schubert's Lieders when previously I've always approached him through the lens of a pianist. Thank you both for making these great videos available to us. Mathieu--you're so talented at matching the emotion of the music to the visuals and capturing these wonderful gestures and expressions.
Your comment is on point. I'm not a musician, but I love music. His renditions move me to tears, and I am not easily moved like that. By the way, in German, Lied is the singular and Lieder the plural. "Lieders" is not proper language.
Nanoochka certain German composers have to be attacked with tenderness - especially Schubert and Brahms - they are like a caring German mother - he understand these composers very good
I appreciate the delicacy, sensitivity, grace, harmony and finesse of this magnificent tenor singing 'Des Fischers Liebesglück,' Philippe Sly. Guitarist John Charles Britton warm and slow tempo resonates in symmetry with the singer. The rhythmen in 'Des Fischers Liebesglück' is edited to perform on guitar. I enjoy this version more than when it is performed on the piano. KUDOS to P. Sly & J. C. Britton for this serene serenade.
for Brazilian ears, Philippe's singing and the guitar arrangement make it sound like bossa nova Schubert. Really surprising and great. One more proof that Schubert's lieder are for the ages, a never-ending source of musical wonder.
ich kann das tausendmal hören. die stimme, dies timbre ist einfach genau richtig und passend für das lied. philippe sly könnte die gesangsgewohnheiten revolutionieren!
I am really blown away by the talent involved in this video. I play classical guitar, I sing and I am a professional photographer. All the elements come together so beautifully! I did not know the song. Kudos. Exceptional.
J'ai toujours adoré schubert. Et je reste très difficile quant aux interprètes. Votre interprétation, cher Philippe, est au-delà de la beauté. Vous êtes le meilleur mélodiste que j'ai jamais entendu. Je parle de votre voix si subtile, de votre timbre et de votre technique maîtrisée. J'y ajoute ce qui prime toujours pour moi dès qu'on me raconte une histoire en musique : l'intelligence du texte et l'émotion sans effet superflu. Le guitariste est en accord parfait. Merci à vous deux.
dear Philippe, this is a very special and wonderful way to sing this lovely song, very lively and full with your own spirit . Great, thanks you, Kiss from Berlin :))
Sehr, sehr schön, gefühlvoll und der Text ist so gut zu verstehen für ein deutsches Ohr. Very, very beautiful, emotional and the lyrics are so good to understand for a German ear. Thanks a lot!
Danke, endlich eine deutsche Beurteilung. Die schöne deutsche Sprache kommt leider immer etwas zu kurz in den Beurteilungen (Rezensionen). Das finde ich traurig.
so touching, and Mathieu is a great videographer, maintaining audience attention...and the sound of the video is amazing, showing every detail of emotion
Amén de sutil melodista, Schubert supo cantar la expresión de contento que procura la proximidad del ser amado. La canción amorosa logra en él un nivel hasta entonces insospechado en la “música culta”, tanto por su sencillez como por su tersura. Se dirige a quien ama tal adolescente que confiesa con el candor primero la llama de un amor inalterable. Sus lieds, a la manera de aquellas canciones populares que se aprenden en la infancia, parecen venidos desde la hondonada del tiempo. Es el caso de estas letrillas que declaran “la dicha del pescador enamorado” que John Charles Britton y Philippe Sly brindan despojadas de todo acento “lírico”. Britton a la guitarra sin florilegios sostiene la voz desnuda y cálida de Philippe Sly que concibe el canto cual experiencia anímica. «Considero la práctica del canto y el trabajo para lograrlo como una prolongación de mí mismo. Es una forma de descubrirse un tanto mística. Utilizo esta palabra aposta puesto que volverse cantante es casi comparable a una experiencia espiritual».
Like this. The guitar (Schubert was a guitarist) works so well here. I'm guessing most songs in this album are pitched 1/3 down than they would be with a piano.
Hello! I absolutely love your versions! I am a trombone player and I just formed a trombone/guitar duo and I would love, if it's possible to get the scores from your arrangements! I will of course pay you! Any way we can get in touch?
Absolutely beautiful, both guitar and voice! I add my bit of salt to the discussions.... i've never liked traditional bass-baritones, most of them sound so artificially grave/bass to me.... if singing affectedly grave/bass is the "real opera bass-baritone", then I simply do not like it. Philippe Sly sings effortless, beautifully, the notes flow like a warm breeze, he sings clear without affection. Since I discovered him a few month ago I cannot stop listening to him.
dass er so einen neuen gesangsstil pflegt. dass er seine stimme nicht durch die ausbildung entfremdet hat lassen, dass er weich artikuliert, ganz natürlich, dass er sich die bewegungen erlaubt- der gesang geht tief in mich hinein und trägt mich, ob das der anfang eines neuen belcanto w2erden könnte? please come to germany and sing for us!!
So sehr ich Philippe Sly schätze, das hier ist bei weitem nicht sein wahres Format. Die Artikulation wirkt leider viel zu passiv. Kein Vergleich mit seinem brillianten Händel -Messias.
Very true. He just yells to get that high note every time. Too bad: the direct, fresh sound and convincing delivery of the text are really nice. And this song really works with the guitar. A little smidgen of technical polish and correcting his intonation in the high register would go a long way.
nope.. what are you doing? go to the Mountains, at night in a boat.. kiss your beloved one and then try again.. This Boat is an American inflatable rubber boat

Finally Schubert with guitar instead of a loud piano. Brilliantly done! Thank you both very much.
A serenade setting...like we do in Coimbra!
there is a gorgeous Schöne Müllerin with Peter Schreier and Konrad Ragossnig on guitar. My favorite

Bravo comment...Chickenvilla!
I couldn't agree more! In fact I'd listen to him over a Fischer-Dieskau any day!
Spot on. It's way more intimate and precious then the other interpretations. All great in there own right, but I prefer his lullaby sound.

not a tenor at all but yes

¡Muy cierto!
Interpretació i acompanyament absolutament delicats.
That was the most beautiful singing that I heard in a very very long time...and the guitar accompaniment was brilliant...#genius #baritone

These two are the perfect combination.
His voice is soft and strong at the same time. I absolutely love it. 💖💖
Fischers Liebesglück sehr sehr schön gesungen und begleitet.
So geniessend! Perfect Deutsch, Schuberts Sprache. Wunderschön!!!

One of the best young singers around today, bravo Philippe and thanks, Mathieu!
How can one not love this? Beautiful sadness.
So beautiful. A sweetness and a gentleness is so profoundly sung.
I've listened to this 6 times since discovering it yesterday. In love.
I have goose bumps. Heavenly beautiful...
Qué voz mas maravillosa y una interpretación fantástica .... Bravooooo !!!! Schubert debe estar mas que orgulloso
Das Lied am schönsten!
Ahhhhh LOVE it 👌👌💌💌💌💌

How extraordinarily beautiful! Thank you so much, and bravo both!

Translation :
The fisherman's luck in love
English Translation © Richard Wigmore
Yonder light gleams
through the willows,
and a pale
glimmer
beckons to me
from the bedroom
of my sweetheart.
It flickers
like a will-o’-the-wisp,
and its reflection
sways
gently
in the circle
of the undulating lake.
I gaze
longingly
into the blue
of the waves,
and greet
the bright
reflected beam.
And spring
to the oar,
and swing
the boat
away on
its smooth,
crystal course.
My sweetheart
slips lovingly
down
from her little room,
and joyfully
hastens to me
in the boat.
Then the breezes
gently
blow us
again
out into the lake
from the elder tree
on the shore.
The pale
evening mists
envelop
and veil
our silent,
innocent dallying
from prying onlookers.
And as we exchange
kisses,
the waves
lap,
rising
and falling,
to foil eavesdroppers.
Only stars
in the far distance
overhear us,
and bathe
deep down
below the course
of the gliding boat.
So we drift on
blissfully,
in the midst
of darkness,
high above
the twinkling
stars.
Weeping,
smiling,
we think
we have soared free
of the earth,
and are already up above,
on another shore.
Translation by Richard Wigmore
Un Ange passe !❤❤🎶🎶🤷♂
I love this song, and this is a beautiful interpretation.
It is wildly original in legato and utterly engaging
Amo demais esse cantor e as musicas de Schubert são divinas!!!O violonista também é espetacular...
Um belo poema e canto à sensibilidade, ao amor e à imaginação. (A beautiful poem and song about sensitivity, love and imagination.)
Bel Canto is a traditional classical voice field. It emphasizes "beautiful singing". It's Hallmark is missa di voce. The intonation swell.
Simply beautiful. Thank you.
Like this. The guitar (Schubert was a guitarist) works so well here. I'm guessing most songs in this album are pitched 1/3 down than they would be with a piano.
What a voice! Blessed by god!
Darker, softer, i'd fall asleep in your arms... 💝
Merci Mathieu!
This is lovely! Well done.
Merci, trop beau !
I'm in love for your singing and interpretativos. Amazing!
Very nice interpretation of this hauntingly beautiful song. Your pronunciation is close to native German!
Ganz richtig! Seine Aussprache ist perfekt
Bravo Philippe 👍🙏
Sly's tone and delivery is impeccable!
Intense beauty, the voice.
very good! is magnifique!
ВОЛШЕБНО!
Los Líderes deShuber son románticos y aasibles,como este .
Bonitos y bellos Líder de Shubert
the best Câmara Singer now a data!
Vinicius Costa ml
Respekt. Seine Aussprache ist sehr gut. Die Interpretation interessant.
I have an on-going fantasy that Philippe and Edwin Crossley-Mercer will record an album together. I don't even care what it is!
Hello! I absolutely love your versions! I am a trombone player and I just formed a trombone/guitar duo and I would love, if it's possible to get the scores from your arrangements! I will of course pay you! Any way we can get in touch?
Qu’est-ce qu’il a une belle voix.
Qué belleza...

Thanks, beauty!
Love the shirt.
I am without words after these 7 minutes, but not because of the shirt.
dass er so einen neuen gesangsstil pflegt.
dass er seine stimme nicht durch die ausbildung entfremdet hat lassen,
dass er weich artikuliert, ganz natürlich, dass er sich die bewegungen erlaubt-
der gesang geht tief in mich hinein und trägt mich, ob das der anfang eines neuen belcanto w2erden könnte?
please come to germany and sing for us!!
"geht tief in mich hinein".........Darf ich auch dabei sein, wenn er kommt? Gruss aus Holland.
Is it possible to get the tabulatur for the guitar for this song? Really wonderful! Everything of course..
Where can I find this arrangement for guitar? I can only find piano accompaniment. :( Also, I would love to do this with high voice and guitar.
one could think German is your mother language ☺
Sagen wir mal so: Ich habe schon deutsche Sängerinterpretationen Schuberts gehört, die ich weniger gut verstand als Philippe. :-)

So sehr ich Philippe Sly schätze, das hier ist bei weitem nicht sein wahres Format. Die Artikulation wirkt leider viel zu passiv. Kein Vergleich mit seinem brillianten Händel -Messias.
The voice is very coarse and sounds half-trained. His approach to notes above the staff is positively amateur.
Very true. He just yells to get that high note every time. Too bad: the direct, fresh sound and convincing delivery of the text are really nice. And this song really works with the guitar. A little smidgen of technical polish and correcting his intonation in the high register would go a long way.
Listen to his Messiah recordings....way better than this...
