As far as I am aware, the child is not really assaulted by some supernatural being, but rather suffering from a severe disease, which causes it to hallucinate before ultimately succumbing to fever at the end of the poem.
Ah, I remember having to learn this thing by heart (translated to my language, thank God) in Foreign Literature class in highschool. Don't get me wrong, it's a great ballad, but being forced to memorize under the threat of a bad grade would make you hate any work of art.
Einfach klasse diese Balade, danke. Da muss ich an meinen Opa und seine Version denken ;) "Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind. Oh, wie verantwortungslos von dem Alten, das Kind mit dem Arsch in den Nordwind zu halten"
Thank you for posting this! German culture, esthetics and history are one of the best ones! I can still remember this ballade because we were learning about many German compositions at school. Love 🇩🇪 from 🇷🇺!
I remember studying this in a music class wile in college! It has a dark and errie side to it. Being a parent, makes me feel for the father for his list child,especially in spite of all his efforts to protect the boy! Great performance!👍🌹👌❤️🖤💛

Damn. This had more plot development and emotional ending than most Netflix serieses, I was sitting here wanting to hear what happens next in the story, ending gave me chills.
The first time I heard this, I was breathless. The Music fitted the Poem in such a way... It almost looks like Schubert himself wrote. And by the way, who is the author of the painting? I need to put it on the wall over my Piano.

Hallo! I am learning German and got particularly interested in German literature, poems and songs. I would be delighted if anyone could give me some recommendations! Thanks!
Hallo! Ich hoffe, ich antworte nicht zu spät. Der Autor dieses Gedichts, Göthe, hat viele Werke geschrieben. Ich empfehle dir diese auch durchzulesen. Wenn du mehr alte Literatur lesen willst, finde ich ist Projekt Gutenberg eine gute Webseite kostenlos Bücher zu finden. Viel Glück beim Deutsch lernen! Das ist keine leichte Sprache.
😢😢😢 I always feel so bad for the kid and his father. Feels like they're dealing with some psychopath tho I used to just see it as a feverish hallucinating child and his father bringing him to a doctor when I was a kid. As an adult this song hits harder.
Ich habe in Minecraft einen Kontinent erschaffen und dort gibt es das Erlgebirge, regiert vom Erlkönig. Ich habe das so eingebaut, dass das Nachbarland dieses Gedicht geschrieben hat zur Propaganda gegen den Erlkönig und als Kriegsrechtfertigung.
I think you should be named Minister of Culture in Germany. I know it can amuse you and amuse those who read it, but when I see what disasters happened today in cultural matters, almost everywhere. I don't understand how people with an average cultural level arrive in command posts; then we are surprised by the general lack of culture, which is more devastating than the Coronavirus. Sorry, for those who disagree with me...

This is the first German ballad I was introduced to.
Me too.❤
Goethe's ballades are true masterpieces of German art.
Sing this to your kids on a stormy night before you put them to bed.
definatley not.
The german way.
As far as I am aware, the child is not really assaulted by some supernatural being, but rather suffering from a severe disease, which causes it to hallucinate before ultimately succumbing to fever at the end of the poem.
There is another theory, that the whole story is just a metapher for the boy hitting puberty^^
@@dr.ludwig Your theory focuses on a typical Father's worst fear. Or an oppressive one.
@@dr.ludwig he died though haha
No he died because his father is pressing him with his hand

you lost your head doing it.
Although I don't think it makes sense to do this with a translated text, the memorisation of a poem is extremely important for truly understanding it.
Einfach klasse diese Balade, danke. Da muss ich an meinen Opa und seine Version denken ;)
"Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind. Oh, wie verantwortungslos von dem Alten, das Kind mit dem Arsch in den Nordwind zu halten"
Und beim Bund hieß es: Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind, es ist der Adi mit seinem Spind
Diese Interpretation durfte ich mir vor Jahren im Deutschunterricht anhören.
Damals war es anstrengend, doch heute weiß ich ihre Qualität zu schätzen.
Eigentlich nicht für Jugendliche gedacht. Stimmt, im Alter passt das Puzzle auf einmal.
Love this one. Love Goethe

Ich liebe dieses Gedicht
Strangely enough Goethe didn't want this composition from Schubert. It's a master piece.
Interesting Poem, oddly I was just looking up the Erlkonig. So this was serendipitous.
This is one of my favorite songs
Dr ludwig buona sera🌆super video😊 magnifica eccelsa musica🎶🎶 viva ludwig tu sei il primo👏👏 mi piace molto😍😍grazie e complimenti🍻💕💕💕
Als ich noch in der Schule war, fand ich diese Ballade. Seitdem lernte ich die Ballade auswendig und erinnere ich ab jetzt 👍
Dieses Lied ist am perfektesten fürs Halloween
Sehr schön, Danke fürs hochladen. 👍👍👍⚫⚪🔴
Oh, how i love this song! I learned it at Music Carreer.
Ufff, the best version ever :3 Dieskau and Moore a perfect duet :3(excuse my bad English)
Grandios. 👍👍👍👍🇩🇪❤
First time hearing this. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a play about the events in this song.
I remembered Sakamoto singing this as well.
Well he's cool so no one can complain
Thanks a lot for this, I love this music.

Sehr wildes lied
Rammstein's Dalai Lamma is modern interpretation of this song give it a listen it's pretty good as well.
Stalking me .... Christmas stalkings
Das müssten wir mal in der Schule auswendig lernen.
Ich habe Erlkönig in meiner französische Schule gelernt, aber ohne Musik !
Goethe😍
Schubert: one of the greatest composers. And to think he died at 31!
I wonder what is the inspiration/background for this story.
Goethe got his inspiration from a Danish fairytale about the elfking I read.

There are many theories what it means. Some say, it means puberty. The child dies, and a man is born, who longs for the daughters etc.
