Thomas Hampson : "Liebst du um Schönheit" (Rückert Lieder) by Gustav Mahler

[liederfan1]

He sang a wrong word! Should be "Sonne" the first time round. :-)

liebe die meeeeeerfrau! ;)

[pgmalmcpo]

En castellano: Si amas la belleza, ¡no me ames a mí! Ama al sol, ¡él porta una dorada cabellera! Si amas la juventud, ¡no me ames a mí! Ama la primavera, ¡ella renace joven cada año! Si amas los tesoros, ¡no me ames a mí! Ama a las sirenas, ¡ellas poseen abundantes perlas brillantes! Si amas al Amor, ¡oh sí, ámame a mí! Ámame siempre, ¡que yo te amaré por siempre así!

this is live ! this if LIFE !!! forget about potential mistakes ! don't kill the artists asking them the perfection in concert ... they won't never take risks anymore ! it would be such a pity !

[TheRenamay]

well... mistakes happen in live recordings... which this is. It happens all the time... this one just happened to be recorded and released.

For some reason, as a baritone, I just can't get into Hampson's voice. IMO, this interpretation just feels uncontrolled and shaky, like he didn't know the music that well.

Don't know how you can write that. Hampson is the greatest working baritone going right now. This is a wonderful giving of a difficult song for the baritone voice, bouncing between head and chest voice. I have a recording of the entire Rückert Lieder of him and the San Francisco Symphony/MTT which is absolutely flawless, IMHO.

[julianosuzuki]

even thou it's amazing interpretation, one can't record which such a mistake....

"Liebe die Sonne..."

[alejandra379]

Hampson has a beautiful voice...

[lastlihin]

eğer güzellik için seviyorsan, *o zaman sevme beni! *güneşi sev, *parlak altın saçları için *eğer gençlik için seviyorsan, *o zaman sevme beni! *baharı sev, *her yıl yeniden tazelenen. *eğer zenginlik için seviyorsan, *o zaman sevme beni! *bir deniz kızını sev, *parlak incileri var onun! *eğer aşk için seviyorsan, *o zaman sev, sev beni! *sev beni her zaman, *hep seveceğim seni!

[piasecznik]

Well, the voice is great, but he fucked up the text in the first stanza, and that is something you should never do in Lieder.

Liebe den Frühling,

Sie trägt ein gold'nes Haar! ???

Love the spring, (instead of: the sun),

it has a golden hair.

[gadella1985]

must have been nervous...
