- This is for my friend Celia. This particular recording from 1958 is one of her favorites and mine. I feel it is appropriate on this day when our dear FiDi was laid to rest. May he rest in peace.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (baritone)
Jörg Demus (piano)
Recorded 1958
Feldeinsamkeit
Ich ruhe still im hohen grünen Gras
Und sende lange meinen Blick nach oben,
Von Grillen rings umschwirrt ohn Unterlaß,
Von Himmelsbläue wundersam umwoben.
Die schönen weißen Wolken ziehn dahin
Durchs tiefe Blau, wie schöne stille Träume;
Mir ist, als ob ich längst gestorben bin
Und ziehe selig mit durch ew'ge Räume.
Hermann Allmers (1821-1902)
Field in Solitude
I rest quietly in tall green grass,
And cast my eyes far upward;
Around me crickets chirp unceasing,
The sky's blue magically encloses me.
The beautiful white clouds float past
Through the deep blue, like lovely silent dreams.
It is as if I had been long dead,
And flew in bliss with them through unending space.
Translation: William Mann
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'.
Thank you. Lovely and comforting.
I am a professional musician and this is my favorite video on RUclips. Thank you immensely.....
Wunderbar!
Happy birthday to you, Mr Fischer-Dieskau 28/05/1925- 18/05/2012. One of the best baritone singers of all time!
Beautiful !

Es genial ver hispanohablantes por aquí
Just lovely, thank you again!
La mejor versión de este Lied
So beautifull!!
Wow! This was absolutely gorgeous! The voice, the words and the images: a perfect union. Thank you so much.
i met dfd 2 times. once in ann arbor, mi. once in detroit at the brahms festival in 1983. i'll never forget it.
raymond good you are lucky
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.
che meraviglia.....
I didn't know that FiDi stands for Fischer-Dieskau! A great homage to Dietrich. We miss you, dear Dietrich! Thanks for this video!
Brahms' lieder are very much underrated. He is up there with Schubert , if less thought of as a lieder-writer.
Perfect! And lyrics are amazing too:)
Sublime❤️
Thank you for the translations. His voice is so beautiful.
Wonderful!!
I have always loved this song, and share your estimation of this performance as a favorite! Your video is so moving, especially considering this sad day. Thank you for creating a special video for us to remember.
Bliss.
Maravilhoso
Oh Karen ... thank you. Our dear DiFi : '
Great video.
I was totally criticising DFD's choices of tone until at the end i noticed two tears on my cheeks ...
I love this performance. Is that last shot a daisy? Being pushed up?
Finale of Mahler's Third is largely based on this, together with Parsifal and Beethoven String Quartet 16.
Fascinating comment. I found the similarity you mean in the Mahler, still trying to find something in the other pieces.
Absolutely!
@@Protenor I mean that the finale of Mahler’s Third is based on those three pieces, not the other way around.
New vid when
