Franz Schubert; Barbara Hendricks; Andras Schiff. Several minutes of heaven on earth. Astonishingly good, profounly moving. Thank you so much for this upload.
No dress would ever do justice to the incarnation of such a beautiful singer. Beauty is what she and Maestro Schiff have given us in this sublime interpretation of a sublime work by Schubert. I return again and again to this video and thank god for the artists which make life worth living.
Helen, spesso i neri sono discriminati e io dico; se mangio 1 gelato 🍨 panna e cacao, mangio 1 dolce bianco e nero, se scrivi con.la penna nera su foglio bianco, normale è! Ma discriminare no! Se dico ad 1a mia amica di colore " sei 1a bella cioccolatina ", lei ci ride su. Stop. Io non sono e non sarò MAI RAZZISTA!
I love that the audience response was included in this clip. It's the energy response to the performance that gets highly overlooked when uploading to RUclips.
What a touching performance! Hendricks doesn't amaze me in Opera in general, but as a recitalist and sacred music performer she has few rivals, especially because her singing has so much "soul". It conveys every feeling, every deep meaning of a word, and she really serves the music in a total way so that we feel "compelled" to forget everything else and just concentrate on the song.
Barbara Hendricks......... es sinónimo de maravillosa voz, interpretación, dicción y un delicado sentimiento en cada nota que brota de su ser, al oirla siento que el espíritu se eleva a la dimensión de lo inefable..............¡¡¡ Bravo !!!
Hendricks m'a souvent laissé sur ma faim à l'Opéra, mais j'ai adoré la récitaliste. y compris quand la voix a commencé à décliner. Elle a quelque chose de la grâce. Je suppose que nous sommes ici dans les années 80?
Schiff manages to set the mood perfectly from the very first notes and remains a completely reliable and sensitive pianist. Hendrick's scooping entry is not promising and I should not like the pronounced flutter but her sensitivity, spirituality and conviction carry the day creating something of real beauty that goes beyond mere perfection.
I like this approach to the opening note, there are many ways to express a word, a mood as you said..I like to analyze everything or find reasons for why things are done certain way, intuitively or premeditated and this first phrase is a descending line - so by her scoop she accentuates this motion. It's really very interesting to find out why artists do certain things, I play violin and sing, so it's wonderful to compare these two fachs. And I once got a compliment from a violin teacher how tastefully I used the portamento :)
Schubert composed over six hundred songs and and miss hendricks beautiful haunting voice and wonderful iterpritation would do justice to evert one of them
ive always loved Barbara Hebdricks musical gift a lovely woman! the dress however reminds me of an curtain or bed sheet -- still beautifully done i'm singing this in a recital next week and can aspire to sing as fluidly.
Is it possible to improve the sound quality? I love this lady and this song, so I'd be very appreciative of clearer sound. With sincere thanks in advance.
@BirchBarlow Wonderfully said, that is precisely why I enjoy Barbara Hendricks so much. I have herard her several times live, and it has always been exceptional.
@MuseDuCafe I agree completely with you. I've also seen/heard Maestro Schiff in several master classes on DVDs (part of which are (still hopefully) on RUclips which is where i first saw them). He is a wonderful musician. Italy's lucky that he's made his home there.
@MuseDuCafe There's nothing to add, your comment sums up the beauty of this interpretation. I return to it often and hope that the person who posted this on RUclips doesn't close his/her RUclips account! I would feel very lost.
@cramerhelen vitality struggling out of blocks of marble -- Very Well Put. Yes, it doesn't matter what Madame is wearing, does it, when the sound (and I include Maestro Schiff) is so perfect and complete?
Very good and well controlled with her feeling and breath except slight scooping before each notes most of the time. And "O" in "Holde" should be more open and very closed in "mond". Overall she sings excellent. Her artistic performance reminds me of the great Roland Hayes. Bravo.
פדרו Pedro Às vezes me esqueço que faço parte do Google+, só agora vi seu comentário. Gosto muito de Barbara Hendricks, ela é muito expressiva; pra mim chega a ser lírica, colocando seus sentimentos dentro da canção. Enfim, adoro suas performances! :)
@MuseDuCafe Curious note to add to your comment "and I include Maestro Schiff" - i've been searching for a European vendor for the DVD for months and had given up. Today i tried what i thought was something ridiculous and did a search for Barbara Hendricks instead of Maestro Schiff and the DVD appeared in the list (gone now, last copy)
A beautiful, clear voice, but a little too much portamento for my liking (though not as much as some others I have heard). The piece reminds me so much of "Im Abendrot" by Richard Strauss: I am no musicologist, but cannot believe it did not influence him.
@orphyborphy This made me laugh, I wouldn't have dared make such a comment in front of such an awe-inspiring performance. However, if you ever have a chance to see the statues that pave the way to Michelangelo's Davide in Florence, you may have a sense of deja-vu (vitality struggling out of blocks of marble)!

@@cramerhelen conosci l'italiano o è il mio traduttore?
@@laurapolacchini8843 Un po’, faccio molti sbagli e non mi ero accorta di aver risposto in italiano!
@@cramerhelen sei bravissima!
Beautiful music. Stunning singer. This piece is most appropriate for weddings and funerals also.
The wonderful Hendricks and Schiff make this a transcendental experience! Bravissimi!

Versetzt mich in eine andere, schönere Welt ❤
Andras Schiff has such control. A wonderful team.
Andras Schiff und Barbara Hendricks bringen dieses Lied in absoluter Perfektion dar!!!
Oh, what a wonderful!
Bravo to Mrs Hendricks!
Such a beautiful performance. A par above the rest.

I am in awe of such beauty of voice and music!

An amazing voice.
She sings beautifully .
Que interpretação, quanto talento! Fantástica!
Extraordinaire et mélancolique, une ligne de chant plus que magnifique, une voix d'or et d'airain, un pianiste merveilleux.... Humains, priez !
Stupendous. Sit back, close your eyes, and be transported to a beautiful place. Thank you Maestra Hendricks.
Exquisite beauty flows from her throat!
Quelle douce voix, j'adore!
Touching performance
Perfection at it's best!
Bravo!!! Very sincerely and deeply, with truthful feeling!

Utterly sublime.

That was lovely.

❤️ that dress.
Delicadament Gran.
BELLA INTERPRETACIÓN.
Depuis petite j'écoute et travaille sur des projets et études de Hendricks 🎼🙏, en ce moment je suis sur les arrietes.
sta arrvann sta zzos' (wonderful voice)
Lovely. 3

Muito boa versão, mas com som da gravação muito baixo, mesmo no volume máximo.
Que mulher...

Where is the rest of this recital? I would love to see it in its entirety.

Beau morceau
I agree
Allerseelen, too
Io non so suonare, ma mi viene voglia di sbattere le dita sul pianoforte 🎹.
@checkerboardkid So would i, but i fear that the DVD that it comes from is unavailable in Europe

@MuseDuCafe Hahaha I think you must be right about all of that!
@kaloolee Insight ready for the next time you sing it!
Is it just me or does anyone else thing this is oversung. Dynamic interpretation is interesting based off the pp mark in the composition.
Not in the least bit over sung... One of the best live interpretations I've ever heard.
An exquisite song exquisitely sung. I wonder why Schwarzkopf never recorded it.

mathias rüegg
Haaaa, Schubert....
terrible artsy photography. we just want to see her!!!!
But there is nothing funny about her talent
Way to much Vibrato for my tastes.
Not very good.
