Goethes Gedicht hat mir schon immer Angst gemacht. Ian Bostridge macht diese Angst wieder sehr fühlbar. Bei 3.08 läuft es einem kalt den Rücken runter. Meine Lieblingsfassung!

This is music from the Romantic era, not the classical era. It is "Erlkonig" by Franz Schubert. It is a "through-composed" German lied. "Through-composed form" meaning the music corresponds with the lyrics and never repeats and is ever changing and does not follow an "AB" pattern. It is a German lied (singular for lieder, literally meaning 'song'). After Beethoven, I have to say I am LOVING Schubert's lieder. Thanks for the upload! YOU ROCK! :-D

this isn't classical it's verging into more of a romantic style

@shrimp6969

you are completely right. It was interesting to notice it : i tend just to call classical music everything regardless the specific genre. for example impressionist (like debussy) romantic (schubert)... thanks anyway !
