Heute vor einem Jahr ist "Fidi" von uns gegangen doch er lebt in seinen Liedern weiter. Kein anderer Liedersänger war so erfolgreich wie er. Nicht umsonst hat ihn die renommierte Zeitung New York Times als den Jahrhundertsänger bezeichnet und ihn damit in eine Reihe mit Caruso, Callas und Domingo gestellt. In diesem Sinne: Ruhe in Frieden "Fidi" wir werden dich nie vergessen. Als Botschafter des deutschen Liedes bleibst du unerreicht.
Like in many Schubert Lieder, the role of the pianist is at the same level as the one of the singer. Here Alfred Brendel is the right world class pianist that both Schubert and the baritone Dieskau deserve. This is how this extraordinary piece of art came together. Brendel's name should have been included in the title!
Fisher-Dieskau is the greatest baritone of the 20th century. Every word is clear, every note is given full measure, as in "lindenbaum" and "traum" at the end of the first two lines. I can actually pick up some German just listening to him with the translation beneath. Until now I had only heard him on recordings, but in these clips I see his emotional fervor, his complete concentration on the meaning. Truly great.
I totally agree with respect to the Lieder, and other recordings (e.g. Berg's Wozzec). I heard him sing Wintereise twice at the Edinburgh Festival, once with Brendl (above) and once with Barenboim. Stupendous! His volume in the crescendo pinned me back in my seat! And that of the pianissimi, you could hear a pin drop.
Lina Warren, I totally agree with you. Her is an excerpt from an article about Schubert another collection of art songs: Die schöne Müllerin is performed by a pianist and a solo singer. The vocal part falls in the range of a tenor or soprano voice, but is often sung by other voices, transposed to a lower range, a precedent established by Schubert himself. Since the story of the cycle is about a young man, the work is most often sung by men. The piano part bears much of the expressive burden of the work, and is only seldom a mere 'accompaniment' to the singer. A typical performance lasts around sixty to seventy minutes.
I love how after the first verse, when the key suddenly turns to the minor, DFD's expression immediately changes, and he sings the second verse looking more downward.
I am french but i feel the german soul running through my veins when I hear this musical heigh.. it makes me feel one else, like ifmy soul was leaving my body for an instant.! I love the feeling this text and music give to me (love is not enough)
It's Brendel. It surprised me a bit - being a great accompanist is quite different from being a great soloist. How to complement, accent and support without stealing the limelight.
Wow! I first encountered this song many years ago, but I had not actually listened to it for a long time. It is greater than I remembered (and the performers here are two of my favorites).
Thomas Mann, in The Magic Mountain, dedicates some interesting paragraphs to this piece and how its main character, Hans Castorp, relates to it. I read it many times on paper when I was young, but I listened it recently in an amazing Audible version performed by Davit Rintoul. It is the unabridged John E. Woods translation, and Rintoul renders it brilliantly; he even dares to sing the first verse of The Lindenbaum!
Completely agree ! I'm German, and in imho Schubert's "Die Winterreise" is the saddest piece of music ever ! 😭 Mozart's "Requiem" seems like party music against it....( ...of course that's a little hyperbole of mine...) Schubert himself called it a cycle of "Schauerliche Lieder" ( "eerie or creepy songs") when talking about them to his friends . When they eventually had heard them , they would be baffled, even shocked . Never in their mind they could have imagined, that their friend Schubert would be able to compose such a dark music ! When his friend Schober told Schubert , that the only song he liked was "Der Lindenbaum", Schubert reportedly answered him calmly ( paraphrasing ) : "Never mind ! For me they are the best I've ever written, and you will like them too one day ." It's so sad, it's nearly depressing ! I tend to avoid to hear it in the winter months, because the expression of deep depression has such great impact...! The last "Lied" , "Der Leierkastenmann ", is simply heartbreaking ! 😭 Those repetitive and monotonous empty fiths in the left hand of the piano accompaniment ( , illustrating the bourdon-bass of the old man's street organ, ) are an as simple as impressive and subtile musical symbol of total depressive despair, loneliness, doom and ultimately death. And I definitely prefer a rendition by a bass/baritone singer, for instance those of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hermann Prey and Thomas Quasthoff. The dark voice timbre fits the dark content of the lyrics the best .
Am Brunnen vor dem Tore Da steht ein Lindenbaum Ich träumt' in seinem Schatten So manchen süßen Traum Ich schnitt in seine Rinde So manches liebe Wort Es zog in Freud und Leide Zu ihm mich immer fort Ich musst' auch heute wandern Vorbei in tiefer Nacht Da hab ich noch im Dunkel Die Augen zugemacht Und seine Zweige rauschten Als riefen sie mir zu: Komm her zu mir, Geselle Hier find'st du deine Ruh Die kalten Winde bliesen Mir grad ins Angesicht Der Hut flog mir vom Kopfe Ich wendete mich nicht Nun bin ich manche Stunde Entfernt von jenem Ort Und immer hör ich's rauschen Du fändest Ruhe dort Du fändest Ruhe dort
Ich hatte das Glück, diese beiden überragenden Künstler in Feldkirch bei der Schubertiade mit der "Winterreise" von Schubert zu erleben. Das ist einer der bleibenden Eindrücke meines Lebens.
Maravilloso, simplemente maravilloso!!!, que extraordinario cantante es Fisher Dieskau y que bella es la música de Franz Schubert. Acompañado por un talentosisimo pianista, nos regala con esta "joya de la lírica universal", Bravo!!!, Muchas gracias por compartir con todos nosotros!!!...BRAVOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a 1979 performance with Alfred Brendel. I'm amazed that Brendel - one of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century wasn't credited in the introduction. While DFD worked with accompanists such as Gerald Moore and Harmut Hoell, he also enjoyed working with solo pianists such as Brendel, Daniel Barenboim and Sviatoslav Richter. (DFD said that he accompanied them!)
His skill at hitting the notes is excellent; he doesn't overwhelm the singer, yet the accompanist's contribution to the performance is clear and distinct; and, as others noted, he captures the "feel" of the Lied in his playing in every measure of the piece. Brendel was also famous as an instrumental performer back in the day, too. He doesn't seem to have lost his touch in this performance, either.
Winterreise is definitely my favorite song cycle, and this is definitely one of my favorite pieces from it, by one of my favorite performers. THIS, is a dream.
What is the German for 'wow'? Dietrich Fischer -Dieskau is surely one of the greatest musicians of all time. Brendel's playing is superb. His playing at around 3.00 so very moving. A great advantage of not hearing this live is that no one breaks the spell of the music by clapping. You are free to enjoy the sound for a long as it holds you. Thank you for sharing.
Fischer-Dieskau hat sich dem deutschen Lied stets mit großer Intelligenz und Intellekt genähert, und damit erst die Basis weiterer Auseinandersetzungen durch andere Interpreten geschaffen. Man kann Preys Volkstümlichkeit oder Wunderlichs Wohlklang vorziehen, an Fischer-Dieskaus Bedeutung insbesondere für Schubert kommt man nicht vorbei. Er offenbarte die inhaltliche Substanz dieser Werke in beispieloser Art.
You can understand every syllable/ word of Dietrich Fischer Dieskaus' singing. I love it. When I listen to other classical singers it's often a meaningless vocal salad.
Is it just me, or does Brendel look a bit like Schubert? LOL. I'm forever grateful we have this full cycle from Fischer-Diskau, twice. The (younger) singer with Gerald Moore, and this with Alfred Brendel. Double Bravo!
An interesting + pleasant surprise to find Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau + Alfred Brendel performing Schubert together. I'm getting old, but there is always something new to learn.
Am Brunnen vor dem Tore, Da steht ein Lindenbaum: Ich träumt' in seinem Schatten So manchen süßen Traum. Ich schnitt in seine Rinde So manches liebe Wort; Es zog in Freud und Leide Zu ihm mich immer fort. Ich mußt' auch heute wandern Vorbei in tiefer Nacht, Da hab ich noch im Dunkel Die Augen zugemacht. Und seine Zweige rauschten, Als riefen sie mir zu: Komm her zu mir, Geselle, Hier findest Du Deine Ruh! Die kalten Winde bliesen Mir grad in's Angesicht; Der Hut flog mir vom Kopfe, Ich wendete mich nicht. Nun bin ich manche Stunde Entfernt von jenem Ort, Und immer hör ich's rauschen: Du fändest Ruhe dort.
I discovered his renditions of the Winterreise suite shortly before hearing of Fischer-Dieskau's death earlier this year. He may as well have been Schubert himself for how well he brought out the very best in his compositions. If he wasn't buried right next to Schubert, he should have been.

Such a perfect depiction of a nostalgic daydream--only Schumann could have matched Schubert's abilities in that regard. Fischer-Dieskau had one hell of a voice in the day.
He had one hell of a voice in *any* of his days. Incomparable. This song is however not just about nostalgia, but a temptation to suicide. Many overlook its obvious dark overtones but....yeah.
@@dorothysay8327 I guess I never thought the Lindenbaum was pulling an Erlkonig on the narrator, so to speak, but I can see how it could be interpreted that way now.
@@MaestroTJS I think in the context of the whole cycle, the suicide reference is unavoidable. In the song by itself, not so much- which is why its simplified Silcher form became an inoffensive German folksong.

Mentalità da aiutanti del boia e misantropia in nero alla spagnola con la gorgiera pieghettata, e piacere invece di amore... quale prodotto di sincera religiosità...".
@@moot9798 You've got it right !👍 The whole pretty depressing cycle, "Die Winterreise" tells the sad story of a young man, whose girlfriend and fiancée had left him. The lyrics of the "Lieder" take the perspective of this brokenhearted young man, who delivers his depressive thoughts . Now, in the wintertime, he's walking restlessly thru the cold and snowy landscape and everthing he encounters during his walk thru the landscape, evokes new dark associations in him and his despair and depression becoming more and more serious within each song . The "Lindenbaum" is the fith song of the cycle. Here our protagonist is urged by his compulsive recalling of the happy past with his unloyal fiancée to pass the limewoodtree again , where he and his girlfriend had once spent happy hours carving words of love in it. So in the first verse, where he is recalling this happy past, the main melody stands in mayor. Whereas in the second verse this metric similar melody is changed in its minor mode on the same tone step, where he told us, how he is drawn to this place even now in the bleak winter. The third verse is also in minor with a complete new melody with the piano accompaning with quick triplets and chromatics painting the winter storm blowing the hat from our protagonist's head, but who tells us, that he doesn't even return for it, indicating his depression. The last verse returns then again to the main mayor melody, since our protagonist is slipping back to warmer memories of the limewoodtree. So here at this point in the cycle the protagonist is still switching between depressive mood and happy memories, but he isn't suicidal yet. Schubert expresses these mood switches of the protagonist by constantly shifting between mayor and minor keys . The final drift in deep depression with a real suicidal mindset appears in the later songs like "Die Krähe" and "Der Wegweiser" and finally in the last song , "Der Leierkastenmann" . In this song the deeply disturbed protagonist associates the view of an poor street organ player, who doesn't get a dime by his playing, with the Grim Reaper : "Wunderlicher Alter, soll ich mit dir gehn...?" ( " Strange old man, shall I go with you...?!) At this point the protagonist seems obviously at the edge of suicide, and here the cycle stops...! Very dark indeed !
Accompanist? Collaborator! That's Alfred Brendel, the great pianist. The best pianists often collaborated with the greatest lieder singers because the piano part is so essential to the lied. The music reflects the song. Look at Erlkonig, for example. It requires a major pianistic technique.
Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo "Der Lindenbaum," de Dietrich Fischer Dieskau sur la base de "Die Winterreise" de Schubert. J'ai compris ce numéro dans mon PLAYLIST intitulée "Mireille Mathieu chante les airs des musiques folkloriques et classiques" comme une réference. Une salutation du Japon.
Mein Lieblings-Lied aus der "Winterreise". Auch pianistisch meine Lieblingsaufnahme des Lindenbaum. Vom ersten Ton an merkt man hier spielt nicht irgendjemand das Klavier, nein, hier tut sich kraftvoll Gewaltiges auf. Alfred Brendel eben.

Stupendous! His volume in the crescendo pinned me back in my seat! And that of the pianissimi, you could hear a pin drop.
Und Quasthoff mit Barenboim?
The wonderful pianist, Alfred Brendel, should have been mentioned.
Absolutely! Consider him mentioned!
Thanks
Brendel is a lousy accompanist. He wants to dominate, and thus ruined Eberhard Waechter's amazing "Dichterliebe"
@@kristijaas4711 Waechter's "Dichterliebe" is my most precious musical treasure. So glad to find another admirer of his beautiful voice and artistry!

Just finished reading Der Zauberberg, and since this is one of Hans Castorp's favorit songs, I had to hear it. Thank you for the post.
I have been reading Der Zauberberg too and wandered to hear this song. This performance adds up well to Thomas Mann's criticism.
This is the same exact reason why I came here! I can understand why it was one of his favorites.
I have read half of der Zauberberg und ich bin hier weil diese Büch
Me too!!

who IS accompanying here? please? answer? Obviously not Moore...dfd too old here. Nor Richter??? who?

Echt tiefempfundene Leistung dieses ewigen Meisterwerks.
I had always considered Mozart's Requiem the saddest music ever written. Then I found Die Wintereisse. Haunting, beautiful, heart-breaking.
It is magnificent. Someone said that it, coupled with Bach’s Matthew Passion, justified Western civilization. 😎♥️

Completely agree !
I'm German, and in imho Schubert's
"Die Winterreise" is the saddest piece of music ever ! 😭
Mozart's "Requiem" seems like party music against it....( ...of course that's a little hyperbole of mine...)

a cycle of "Schauerliche Lieder"
( "eerie or creepy songs") when talking about them to his friends .
When they eventually had heard them , they would be baffled, even shocked . Never in their mind they could have imagined, that their friend Schubert would be able to compose such a dark music !

I tend to avoid to hear it in the winter months, because the expression of deep depression has such great impact...!
The last "Lied" ,
"Der Leierkastenmann ",
is simply heartbreaking ! 😭
Those repetitive and
monotonous empty fiths in the left hand of the piano accompaniment
( , illustrating the bourdon-bass of the old man's street organ, )
are an as simple as impressive and
subtile musical symbol of total depressive despair, loneliness, doom and ultimately death.
And I definitely prefer a rendition
by a bass/baritone singer, for instance those of
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau,
Hermann Prey and
Thomas Quasthoff.
The dark voice timbre fits the dark content of the lyrics the best .

Am Brunnen vor dem Tore
Da steht ein Lindenbaum

So manchen süßen Traum
Ich schnitt in seine Rinde
So manches liebe Wort
Es zog in Freud und Leide
Zu ihm mich immer fort
Ich musst' auch heute wandern
Vorbei in tiefer Nacht
Da hab ich noch im Dunkel
Die Augen zugemacht
Und seine Zweige rauschten
Als riefen sie mir zu:
Komm her zu mir, Geselle
Hier find'st du deine Ruh
Die kalten Winde bliesen
Mir grad ins Angesicht
Der Hut flog mir vom Kopfe
Ich wendete mich nicht
Nun bin ich manche Stunde
Entfernt von jenem Ort
Und immer hör ich's rauschen
Du fändest Ruhe dort
Du fändest Ruhe dort

Esso mantiene relazioni con la morte, che si possono anche amare, ma non senza rendersi conto, nei
presentimenti d'uno che vuol governare, di una data non liceità di questo amore.
Secondo la sua originaria natura può non essere simpatia per la morte, bensí qualcosa di molto popolare e
vitale, ma la relativa simpatia spirituale è simpatia per la morte,... pura religiosità, del tutto sensata al suo
principio, non lo si dovrebbe minimamente contestare; ma al suo seguito si trovano prodotti delle tenebre.
Ma che cosa si metteva in mente? Da voi non se lo sarebbe lasciato togliere dalla testa. Prodotti delle
tenebre.
Tenebrosi prodotti.
Mentalità da aiutanti del boia e misantropia in nero alla spagnola con la gorgiera pieghettata, e piacere
invece di amore... quale prodotto di sincera religiosità...".

You've got it right !👍
The whole pretty depressing cycle,
"Die Winterreise" tells the sad story of a young man, whose girlfriend and fiancée had left him.
The lyrics of the "Lieder" take the perspective of this brokenhearted young man, who delivers his depressive thoughts .
Now, in the wintertime, he's walking restlessly thru the cold and snowy landscape and everthing he encounters during his walk thru the landscape, evokes new dark associations in him and his despair and depression becoming more and more serious within each song .
The "Lindenbaum" is the fith song of the cycle.
Here our protagonist is urged by his compulsive recalling of the happy past with his unloyal fiancée to pass the limewoodtree again ,
where he and his girlfriend had once spent happy hours carving words of
love in it.
So in the first verse, where he is recalling this happy past,
the main melody stands in mayor.
Whereas in the second verse this metric similar melody is changed in its minor mode on the same tone step, where he told us, how he is drawn to this place even now in the bleak winter.
The third verse is also in minor with
a complete new melody with the piano accompaning with quick triplets and chromatics painting the winter storm blowing the hat from our protagonist's head,
but who tells us, that he doesn't even return for it, indicating his depression.
The last verse returns then again to the main mayor melody, since our protagonist is slipping back to warmer memories of the limewoodtree.
So here at this point in the cycle
the protagonist is still switching between depressive mood and happy memories,
but he isn't suicidal yet.
Schubert expresses these mood switches of the protagonist by constantly shifting between mayor and minor keys .
The final drift in deep depression with a real suicidal mindset appears in the later songs like "Die Krähe" and "Der Wegweiser" and finally in the last song ,
"Der Leierkastenmann" .
In this song the deeply disturbed protagonist associates the view of an poor street organ player,
who doesn't get a dime by his playing, with the Grim Reaper :
"Wunderlicher Alter,
soll ich mit dir gehn...?"
( " Strange old man,
shall I go with you...?!)
At this point the protagonist seems obviously at the edge of suicide,
and here the cycle stops...!
Very dark indeed !
auch dieses lied mag ich sehr aus der winterreise. ich krieg da teilweise gänsehaut beim hören danke fürs laden
Brendel and Fischer-Dieskau - who could ask for anything more!
Perfekt! Rundum einfach perfekt. Sowohl FFD als auch der Pianist Brendl!
Thank you. Favourite baritone and superb pianist. What more could I want?
I totally agree.
반가운 곡 입니다. 소시적 선생님의 지휘에 맞춰 부르던 향수에 젖은 노래,보리수. 나도 모르게 지그시 눈을 감게 합니다. 감사 합니다.
Wunderbar!
This is perfection!
@CanadaPisces Thank you James for sharing !
Thumbs up for this beautiful song & the Eng. translation!
Thank you mychinamusic !
Happy 85th birthday to the great man!
The accompanist is quite excellent. I agree, should be given credit.
Accompanist? Collaborator! That's Alfred Brendel, the great pianist. The best pianists often collaborated with the greatest lieder singers because the piano part is so essential to the lied. The music reflects the song. Look at Erlkonig, for example. It requires a major pianistic technique.
A master vocalist just sang!!!
Wunderbar! ❤
들을 때 마다 가슴이 두근거리며, 소년의 마음으로 돌아간다
저는 고등학교때로 돌아간듯해요^^
Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo "Der Lindenbaum," de Dietrich Fischer Dieskau sur la base de
"Die Winterreise" de Schubert. J'ai compris ce numéro dans mon PLAYLIST intitulée "Mireille Mathieu chante les airs des musiques folkloriques et classiques" comme une réference. Une salutation du Japon.
Ausgezeichnet ! Wunderbar !!!
Diskau and Brendel is a perfect match of precision and expression.
Dieser magische Berg ist beliebter denn je.
Perfect, Bravo!!
Erquickend
Thank you so much
Beautiful
언제 들어도 좋은곡. 감사드려요.
Ein Traum!
I think its Alfred Brendel - two greats together.
I remember my father playing and singing this one.
Der Klassiker!

Mein Lieblings-Lied aus der "Winterreise". Auch pianistisch meine Lieblingsaufnahme des Lindenbaum. Vom ersten Ton an merkt man hier spielt nicht irgendjemand das Klavier, nein, hier tut sich kraftvoll Gewaltiges auf. Alfred Brendel eben.
I have seen this video a lot and every single time it touches my soul and brings me to tears. What a piece of sublime art.
R.I.P. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau! You will be missed!
