Franz Schubert - Der Konig in Thule (1816) - Lied - "Es war ein König in Thule" (Elly Ameling)

[robsoncozendey]

Indeed, a pop song structure:

ABABAB

And awesomely moving.

Elly, no one compares, however great, to your interpretation of this composition.....Here are to many viewings of this video and to many more, Bravo!

Super Video! Es hat mir sehr für meine Liedkontrolle im Musikunterricht geholfen! Ich konnte die Melodie überhaupt nicht! Dankeschön!

[carrozzo52]

conosco il pezzo,ma questa versione cantata dalla Ameling non l'avevo mai sentita:l'emozione mi strozzava la gola,semplicemente incantevole!

May I ask for the picture and who made it? It really touches me.

me encantan los lieder de schubert

el piano tiene mucha independencia

[tojupiterandback]

the song is marvelous, but who is the painter and what's the name of that beautiful painting?

[lilanma]

The artist is Ary Scheffer and the painting is Faust and Marguerite in the Garden.

thankee!

[lilanma]

You're welcome. It is a stunning painting--I only wish they were actually looking at tangible things rather than off into space, as it seems!

[AryanSturm]

The most beutiful classical piece I've ever heard. Thanks
