Beethoven - Adelaide

[Enrico278]

Sometimes I find Dieskau a bit over technically perfect, but this interpretation is really wunderbar. Very sweet and gentle. Makes the song shine brightly.

[sunnyjuciyfruity]

[1993lisy]

esto formará parte de el sound track de algo que escribiré, ¡¡está perfecto!! el nombre es importante en mi historia y también la letra ¡¡gacias a Dios que la encuentro!!

[HansMoser23]

The singer is Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, I know this recording from a 10 CD collection I recently bought.

[FieneFifi]

Yeahh my name's Adelheid (German version of Adelaide)

The song is incredibly beautiful.. German music & German language = <3

[Vesivian]

Beethoven requested this song to be sung to him by his closet friends on his deathbed.

[orphyborphy]

@Vesivian The last thing I want to do is argue with you about the validity of this, because I want it to be true, but where did you hear this?

[Vesivian]

@orphyborphy Urm there was a biography of beethoven and towards the end when it told me that it was on Beethoven's deathbed that he requested his best friends to sing this piece for him.

[orphyborphy]

@Vesivian That's evidence enough for me! :)

[rmllvr]

I live in Adelaide and my cousin is called Adelaide :) Like many other Adelaideans I call it "Radelaide"

[CrystalFlames]

Adelaide's a cool name. (I'm not an Adelaide btw. lol) But I didn't know until recently that Beethoven even wrote art songs. he's so famous for his symphonies.

@CrystalFlames He was a big inspiration for Schubert
