This should definitely be sung by a bass/baritone, not a tenor. It's a dark lieder, the voice should match. Even for a tenor, this tenor has very limited resonance, and the tone is not nearly dark enough. His German is pretty good though, usually it's difficult for Asian speakers to do justice to germanic or romantic languages, germanic especially.
Hm, I'd tend to agree there. Although his voice is intrinsically quite nice - can't fault the man for being a tenor - this song is more suited to a baritone, and as such, the soloist almost gets drowned out by the accompanying orchestra. IMO, Fischer-Dieskau is a much better representation of what the song should sound like.
I am using this performance as the model for mine come January. It is proving to be very useful and I am really grateful that this video is on the net.
B) Do Asian orchestras always look that uninterested? I would HATE to conduct such as that. It was technically exact, but there was no emotion at all...
Take it a step further. Considering how rapidly classical music is losing its audience in the west, we shouldbe grateful that asians are turning to it so enthusiastically.
I thought that the asian school of conducting -and playing- was more To the Point, searching for the inner meaning of a piece of music. A bit more aggressive maybe?
Very unusual to listen to this with such a light voice singing. Actually provides a nice contrast to the full orchestra so as not to be overwhelming but still have excitement.
Come on! Stop bing so hard on the Nazi kid! He couldn't have prevented the incest that comes with eugenics. Just nod your head when he tells you that he comes from the moon and follows duck farmers. Oh and by the way, try to keep him away from sharp objects and things under the sink.
stop that racism!!! i do admit that his German 's weird with his Japanese accent. But it doesn't mean that ONLY white people can play western music! one should be proud of one's own accent.
Thank you for your comment. Usually the piece is performed by baritone, but still exciting even if it is sung by tenor! :)
This piece is performed as a part of the regular concert of an amateur orchestra with new arrangement, and the soloist is the friend of the conductor.
Have a lot of congratulations for dooing this with a amateur orchestra.

I've noticed that about these Asian videos - often some unimpressive vocalist put in front of a good orchestra. Makes me kind of jealous.

The singer's voice is good, but apparently not strong enough to compliment Schubert's masterpiece. I'm a little disappointed.
