What is so great about his voice, in my opinion, is that it can be recognised immediately; he has a unique sound, I don't know what it is...absolutely wonderful.
I agree. Hermann Prey's artistry was discreet. He sang with simplicity, from his soul and with no affectation or exaggeration. His timbre was just exceptional.
Perhaps the most beautiful Baritone-voice of the last 50 years. Mr. Prey was excellent as a Liedersinger - his rendition of "Die schöne Müllerin" with Leonard Hokanson is a masterpiece of subtly singing. And in his book "Premierenfieber" he gave a worth reading essay about "Winterreise".
@Cornelia In a sense, DFD is evaluated as a perfect performance. It is to create a world associated with the intent of the score. The important thing is that most vocalists try to have a loud and outstanding voice Voice volume and income are proportional, but musicality and voice volume are not.
Lyrics : 1. Gute Nacht Fremd bin ich eingezogen, Fremd zieh’ ich wieder aus. Der Mai war mir gewogen Mit manchem Blumenstrauß. Das Mädchen sprach von Liebe, Die Mutter gar von Eh’, - Nun ist die Welt so trübe, Der Weg gehüllt in Schnee. Ich kann zu meiner Reisen Nicht wählen mit der Zeit, Muß selbst den Weg mir weisen In dieser Dunkelheit. Es zieht ein Mondenschatten Als mein Gefährte mit, Und auf den weißen Matten Such’ ich des Wildes Tritt. Was soll ich länger weilen, Daß man mich trieb hinaus ? Laß irre Hunde heulen Vor ihres Herren Haus; Die Liebe liebt das Wandern - Gott hat sie so gemacht - Von einem zu dem andern. Fein Liebchen, gute Nacht ! Will dich im Traum nicht stören, Wär schad’ um deine Ruh’. Sollst meinen Tritt nicht hören - Sacht, sacht die Türe zu ! Schreib im Vorübergehen Ans Tor dir: Gute Nacht, Damit du mögest sehen, An dich hab’ ich gedacht. Winterreise 2. Die Wetterfahne 1. Bonne nuit Étranger je suis arrivé, Étranger je repars. Le mois de mai m’avait bercé De maint bouquet de fleurs. La jeune fille parlait d’amour, La mère, même de mariage, Aujourd’hui le monde est si gris, Le chemin recouvert de neige. De mon départ en voyage Je ne peux choisir le moment, Je dois moi-même trouver le chemin En cette obscurité. Une ombre lunaire me suit Comme mon compagnon, Et sur le blanc manteau Je cherche les traces d’animaux. Pourquoi devrais-je attendre encore Que l’on me mette dehors ? Laissez les chiens fous hurler Devant la maison de leurs maîtres ; L’amour aime à cheminer - Dieu l’a ainsi fait - De l’un à l’autre. Douce bien-aimée, bonne nuit ! En tes rêves je ne te dérangerai point, Ce serait dommage, en ton repos, Tu ne devrais pas entendre mes pas, Doucement, doucement, les portes sont fermées ! En passant, j’écris seulement Bonne nuit sur le portail, Pour que tu puisses voir Que j’ai pensé à toi.
Una versión intimista de uno de los más grandes lideristas alemanes del siglo XX. Aunque una leve nasalizacion se aprecia en todo caso (tendría que ver sólo con el idioma alemán?).
Străin am fost pe lume Spre străini, plec din nou Plin de flori in tumult-mai E anotimpul meu. Fata voia iubire Mama-sa măritiș Iară-mi devine lumea Un nor aspru si trist. Troienind prin zăpadă Ma pregătesc, pe-ascuns Sa fug din nou, departe Caci așa mi-a fost scris, O umbra a lunii lasă Argintii urme-n noapte Pe covorașe albe Si moi ca de mătase. Ce mai aștept de-acuma? Sa fiu iar alungat? Las așa latre câinii La hanu-întunecat. Iubirea pleacă iară Așa vrea Dumnezeu Eu plec din nou, departe Somn lin, odorul meu Nu vreau ca sa te tulburi In vis, ca sa nu suferi Sa nu-mi mai auzi pașii Când plec si închid ușa. Iți scriu câteva rânduri Pe ușă…visuri line Sa știi mâine, iubito Ca m-am gândit la tine!
The Reichssender Berlin in 1944 recorded the Hans Hotter miracle which is setting the standard after 70 years...in my opinion DFD's best performances are those from the first years with billing and klust, even if Hotter is sublime...you must also consider Souzay's version with Baldwin, which is in my opinion more penetrating and insightful than all the other versions excepting Hotter's.
Definitely a worthy interpretation by a great baritone but the two best are by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and by Peter Schreier. Fischer-Dieskau is definitely the all time mast of the lied and the greatest baritone of the 20th century!!!!! Sone even consider his the greatest singer of the recording age!!
Beautifully sung but without expression. There's no anger here - or frustration - or surprise - or despair. Prey was a good Singer with a beautiful tone but not an Interpreter. The meaning of the Poem is irrelevant to him.
Danke, danke Hermann, wo auch immer du jetzt weilst. Du warst ein Gechenk für die Welt und bist es immer noch. Sei glücklich...
Mit Abstand die beste Winterreise! Hermann Prey singt sie perfekt! Danke fürs Einstellen!

Sehr gute video.herzlich dank.janny.die niederlande.
So gentle. Wonderful.

Wonderful wonderful singing.
Appreciate the simple interpretations of this great song.

2. Die Wetterfahne
1. Bonne nuit
Étranger je suis arrivé,
Étranger je repars.
Le mois de mai m’avait bercé
De maint bouquet de fleurs.
La jeune fille parlait d’amour,
La mère, même de mariage, Aujourd’hui le monde est si gris, Le chemin recouvert de neige.
De mon départ en voyage
Je ne peux choisir le moment,
Je dois moi-même trouver le chemin En cette obscurité.
Une ombre lunaire me suit
Comme mon compagnon,
Et sur le blanc manteau
Je cherche les traces d’animaux.
Pourquoi devrais-je attendre encore Que l’on me mette dehors ?
Laissez les chiens fous hurler Devant la maison de leurs maîtres ; L’amour aime à cheminer -
Dieu l’a ainsi fait -
De l’un à l’autre.
Douce bien-aimée, bonne nuit !
En tes rêves je ne te dérangerai point,
Ce serait dommage, en ton repos,
Tu ne devrais pas entendre mes pas,
Doucement, doucement, les portes sont fermées ! En passant, j’écris seulement
Bonne nuit sur le portail, Pour que tu puisses voir Que j’ai pensé à toi.
Per completezza aggiungo che il pianista è Helmut Deutsch, uno dei massimi specialisti del repertorio liederistico. Grandissimo Hermann Prey!!!
liederistico, eh? lol
癒しの歌声にうっとりします…💕
かなりキザでした。
@@仏陀伽耶 キザすぎるとアレだけど、このくらい何ともないわ( *´艸｀)やっぱり素敵な歌声だわぁ…(*ฅ́˘ฅ̀*)♡
幼き頃、レコードで何度彼の《冬の旅》を聴いたことでしょう。
Magnifique Monsieur Prey, par delà les cieux ...
MARVELOUS HERMANN PREY🙏🕊️🎶
So sensitive and nobile performance!
It would be fair to also name the pianist, since he is contributing the other half, next to vocals!
I guess this might be Helmut Deutsch
Prey great as ever and as a nice bonus one can pracitce one's Italian ...
冬の旅はフィシャーディースカウが定番だったけど私はヘルマンプライの方が聴きやすくてお気に入りだったことを憶えている。
自分もヘルマン・プライの方が落ち着いた感じで好感が持てます。
Beautiful!
Do You know when was this recorded?
Preys Timbre ist unverwechselbar.
So ist es! Wunderschön!

Does anyone know when this was recorded by the way? :)
Străin am fost pe lume
Spre străini, plec din nou
Plin de flori in tumult-mai
E anotimpul meu.
Fata voia iubire
Mama-sa măritiș
Iară-mi devine lumea
Un nor aspru si trist.
Troienind prin zăpadă
Ma pregătesc, pe-ascuns
Sa fug din nou, departe
Caci așa mi-a fost scris,
O umbra a lunii lasă
Argintii urme-n noapte
Pe covorașe albe
Si moi ca de mătase.
Ce mai aștept de-acuma?
Sa fiu iar alungat?
Las așa latre câinii
La hanu-întunecat.
Iubirea pleacă iară
Așa vrea Dumnezeu
Eu plec din nou, departe
Somn lin, odorul meu
Nu vreau ca sa te tulburi
In vis, ca sa nu suferi
Sa nu-mi mai auzi pașii
Când plec si închid ușa.
Iți scriu câteva rânduri
Pe ușă…visuri line
Sa știi mâine, iubito
Ca m-am gândit la tine!
how old is the recording? Prey looks older than when he did le nozze di figaro
Mooi
What year was this from?
This was in 1984.
