My mother used to sing this song in the evening. I have sung it to my children and to my grandchildren.Thank you Brahms. I wish I could sing like Hermann Prey.
Thank you for your comments - and truthfully, I couldn't agree with you more. It has been a pleasure to be able to share the clips wiht those who truly are able to appreciate the "stimme"
Hermann Prey's diction was outstanding, indeed. I was so very lucky to hear him in a concert with ballads. He was in his sixties, then, and died few years later. I have never heard a more accomplished singer and am very gratefull to have listened to his voice.
You're really lucky that you got to hear him in a concert. What's it like to hear him live? I love his performance as Figaro. Get the DVD's of him in Le Nozze di Figaro and Il Barbiere di Siviglia. He's amazing!
In Germany Prey was one of the most popular classical singers in the 70ths. He often was invited to tv shows. To young people, me included, he was just this guy singing boring popular balads on tv . How stupid we were!
When I heard him live many years later, he totally enchanted me. I sat in the last row of a concert hall with more than 2000 people. Even the most gentle piano was the purest and clearest sound you can imagine and was deeply moving.

If only I had been among the priveledged to have heard these singers first hand.Herman and Fritz make superb duets as well as magical solos.
Words fail.
To my ear,his diction is faultless.
Thankyou to all who share these.

Lovely and peaceful! Thank you Hermann!
Is it just me, or is his diction really clear? He pronounces everything very clearly!
