Björling - " Leise flehen meine Lieder " Schubert ( Serenade)

[MrFalschverkabelt]

das ist der anfang aus der serenade von schubert :D oder sogar das ganze oder ?

[63RobWanders]

i personally love this slow tempo very much and Jussi is unbeatable.

[gayopera1]

I adore this man's singing all my life. His voice is absolutely heavenly.

[faithful02u]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.......What a beautiful instrument and I do mean the voice. This is a wonderful example of a singer, one who sings with expression and sympathy towards both the music and the libretto. It is less about vocal range and more to do with dexterity and emotional involvement. I loved this, and again I want to work on this for performance even though it's written for the male voice and I am a mezzo soprano. The song is written to be sung. Thank you once again

[nietzschealeatorio]

lindo

[eflatalto4]

Bjorlings voice exceeds in beauty that of Richard Tauber. WHAT A VOICE!!

[hwhopp]

Would have liked a little less pedal by the pianist (the voice is supposed to be accompanied by a lute). Björling just out of another world. His German is wonderful.

[malaisennui]

omgomgomgopmg, i love youtube, fucking glorious

[bhigr]

perfect interpretation, great singing!

[1000bestmusic]

What a singer of "Schwermut"! This demands a soaring, painful sweetness of the voice itself paired with perfect voice control. In this way, the excruciating pain of the heart is expressed by repression. Passion and emotion are shown within the voice itself, not with the voice. This is a totally different way of emotional singing than the Italian masters use.Another great example: Richard Tauber. Maybe it mirrors the different way of showing emotion you can find in southern and northern Europe?

[DwnWilliamHughes]

@1000bestmusic Yes indeed. I love Pieter-Jan's (Wiener knabensanger) interpretation too. I particularly the changes in volukme and tempo. This is my favourite Schubert Lied and Erlkonig is a close second.

[frknGeraniaceae]

Interessting live recording. The studio recordings of Jussi singing Ständchen I´ve heard is in higher key. A bit too slow this, the piano background losses its "enchantingness" (can´t find the word I´m thinking). What key did Schubert originally write it in?

[Chocolateluvr1987]

Well, personally, I think it's beautiful, whether the recording quality is suspicious to you or not! I've never heard of this singer before, but he does have a gorgeous, passionate voice, and this is one of Schubert's most heartbreaking songs.

Toller Klang!

[katwoman0801]

so viel gefühl ist in dieser musik, großartig

[MsRainbow1996]

@katwoman0801 die Stimme geht wirklich unter die Haut... simply beautiful!!!

[cullfrau]

There is nothing more beautiful than these Schubert-songs!! I love them !

[Webarton]

This is amazing! But I do think this is too low for him! haha!

[stmaurmusic]

What a devastating combination: one of Schubert's darkest songs and Jussi's plangent voice.

[hamster13]

herr bjørling has maybe got a cold here.

[FigNeutonProductions]

d minor-the original key.

[foxtrottango2]

Could anybody tell me the key in which Bjorling is singing this song?

[seektheforce]

If anyone could get a recording of Jussi Björling doing An Die Musik please? I would be eternally indebted.

[steffileinimausi]

übrigens, bei 0:33 ... der typ hat ne echd durchgestylte stylishe frisur!! kann mir einer sagen. wie man das nachmacht. denn meine freundin möchte auch so n geiln style habn.........dankee

ja, kommt der sich nich scheiße oder was ?!° ich mein nich mal getuschte wimpern, nen halben urwald unter den achseln und so nen beklopptn umhang wie ein straßenarbeiter ( nich bös gemeint) .... ou mann, ich will kein kind von ihm!! ich mein, wie geil der sich auch noch kommt!!

[steffileinimausi]

und preruminator, ich muss schon sagen, ich bin nicht ganz deiner meinung!! das tempo is echt viel zu schnell geraten, was für ein fuck noch mal!!!! was bilden diese hirnlosen alions sich eigentlich so ein, glauben di sie können auch nur einen zahn damit rasieren?!?! intressiert doch eh keinen, was di singen. ich weiß blos, dass di doof sind und ich keinen geschleckt bekommen mag von denen. so das war meien meinung, zu disen greisligen dummverseuchten blöden affen!!

[preruminator]

Steffileinimausi,

mutmaßlich hängt das mit der geringen Anzahl von Synapsen in Mäusegehirnen zusammen. Das Orthigraphiezentrum scheint ohnehin zerstört zu sein. Armes Mausilein.

[steffileinimausi]

das groovt!! das is der smash-hit of the year!! welche chartposition?? i hab ned gestörte eklige freundin die hört das imma xD die is auch voll beklopt!!

[preruminator]

Als Verehrer Jussi Björlings darf ich mir erlauben zu sagen, dass in der vorliegenden Aufnahme ein zu langsames Tempo gewählt wurde: es wird dem Text nicht gerecht. Das Drängende, Flehende fehlt. Vergleichen Sie mit Joseph Schmidts Ansatz!

[IpsaPaphum]

You're right. This is not the great Bjorling at his best!

[Brachiale]

i wonder if this is really Jussi i think this is fraud the recording seems to modern to be him and also the voice seems to dark

[borlange11]

This is Jussi.

Recording was taken from an RCA lp Bjoerling at Carnegie Hall. The sound is actually better than what is demonstrated here.

I don't know a singer with a more beautiful sound.

Every note sounds free. Not easy when singing German.

I don't know a singer who brings in a better way the MOOD of this song.

The opinion of a Dutch Jussi admirer.

[Swany243]

This is no doubt Bjorling, but it is not exactly his style... The reason his voice sounds dark is because he is singing in German (a very hard language to sing)

[maxhansendk]

This is Jussi! -and in top form to!!

But recording tecnique is not in top form. Listen to those who where lucky enough to witness his recital in person. They are all in awe of Jussis brilliant singing!!

[cattleman6420012000]

Absolutely heavenly singing.

[kittycrunch456]

Suuuuuuublimely romantic. Jussi and Schubert's Ständchen go together like peanut butter and jelly. Thank you for the post.

[hiyadroogs]

I love your simile, kitty!

[serjwill]

Jussi Björling hatte wahrscheinlich die schönste Stimme die die Menschheit je gehört hatte...

[elcantantedebodas]

thanx for sharing such a wonerfull song

[cicadada]

So beautiful!

[Emlomor]

Who is the pianist ?

[Toutbon]

Freddie Schauwecker.

[oakroom48]

Simply gorgeous - thank you so much.

[KamillAristonChudoba]

Absolutely heavenly!

Although i find Richard Tauber's interpretation of "Ständchen" even more fantastic. Still a great piece of art!

[kittycrunch456]

This song by Bjorling reminds me of a line from the film American Beauty. "... so much beauty... I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."

[callasdimitrova]

una interpetación muy conmovedora....con una linea unica de expresión...una partitura sin duda extraordinaria....

gracias por tan bello recuerdo

saludos desde chile

[Luonnotar70]

Grazie mille per questo post, Maccibono! Mi sembra che non c'era ancora Ständschen di Schubert interpretato da Björling sul Youtube. Io ho la versione inciso nello studio del 1951, con la qualità di suono evidentemente superiore, la ascolto quasi religiosamente quando sono stressata per staccarmi. Ma è bellissimo sentire una versione dal vivo altrettanto ipnotizzante.

[KyotoMelody]

Grazie, Walter, grazieee!

[laonirica]

Un *Maravilla* expresada por quien no será superado en ésta obra! Gracias Macciboma por compartir tan bello registro!!!

[Ankhsnammon]

Grazie,carissimo amico Walter...grazie....questo brano..l'abbiamo ascoltato tante volte...cantato da tanti voci...ma sempre,SEMPRE! lo troviamo nuovo...'E il segno dei capolavori nati dal cuore.

Björling..meraviglioso,come sempre!

Grazie mille!
