La perfection ! Rien ne peut égaler cette prestation! Les larmes me motent aux yeux chaque fois que je l'entends. Mahler était un génie! Le plus grand !
Tragische Musik, aber so wunderschön! Schade, dass der Ton ein bisschen zittert oder irre ich mich? Vielen Dank Mahler und Dieskau. Sie zeigen wieviel Musik uns Menschen bedeuten kann.
I am lost to the world with which I used to waste so much time, It has heard nothing from me for so long that it may very well believe that I am dead! It is of no consequence to me Whether it thinks me dead; I cannot deny it, for I really am dead to the world. I am dead to the world's tumult, And I rest in a quiet realm! I live alone in my heaven, In my love and in my song!
I've heard all the renditions of this song here and without a doubt I think this is the most intensely emotional interpretation of it I've ever heard, on or off YouTube. DFD's restraint is just heart rending. He just nailed it. My personal recording is of Thomas Hampson and the the San Francisco Symph. with Tilson-Thomas and I love that one, too. I think Hampson has the "bigger," more resonant voice and clearly he is DFD's heir apparent. "Ich bin" is the greatest of all German lieder, bar none.
Even at 64 this man, one of the greatest artists of all time, could sing this immensely moving song more beautifully than it had ever been sung or , for that matter, ever will be.
@freddiefreeloader59 totally agree! thanks to FiDiTanzer528 who posted a really great performance of this Lied by FD, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Karl Böhm

Gorgeous singing of mr FD. I feel this is the best lied of all. I do prefer this lied sung by a male voice and my favorite for this is Jose Van Dam.

Someone once asked me, 'who are the best actors?'. I immediately replied ' Dieter and Maria.'
They didn't have a clue.
Thankfully, the secret it safe with us.
