Franz Schubert: An Die Musik, D 547 - Felicity Lott

[musicnerdforlife]

I'm using this as a piece for a college audition this weekend. I wouldn't have been able to learn it so well without this video. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[babodite]

I adore this song. I'm going to sing it for my senior recital. :)  I hope I do Schubert some justice!

Thank you for uploading :)

[Gurkenstolz]

"wilder Kreis umstrickt" ist grausam, diese Sängerin ist eine Katastrophe.

[Spanglefeather]

Is the music is in the key she is singing, or maybe one and a half steps lower?

[emoanimeducky]

@Spanglefeather

Its in the correct key. The woman singing just makes it sound higher than it is xD I was surprised too when I realized it was in the same key.

[kofiya]

Das Lied ist der ideale Lackmustest, ob ein Sänger deutsche Romantik versteht. Sie tut es leider überhaupt nicht.

[AtemiRaven]

I am actually performing this piece as a baritone for competition next weekend, I find this to be very helpful mate :)

Thank you for uploading.

"Felicity Lott".

All by herself???

[robinclar]

@1401JSC My mother was perfectly capable of singing and playing at same time (and performed live on BBC many times in the days recordings were the exception), so maybe so.

[doddsalfa]

If you really want to listen to the greatest version of this song listen to - Thomas Quasthoff & Andras Schiff perform Schubert (3) its on 7 minute

[pianomags]

Not sure what a "true 'Schubert voice' is - didn't think he had that label attached to his Lieder.

This is wonderful and I think his gift was to bring out the very best in the very best singers because his songs are so strong, cope well with (some) transposing and can be interpreted in so many ways.

I love this, love Fritz, worshp Lucia and just adore Christa - all very different singers, with very different voices. Love them all.

[drtmuir]

Is this with Geoffrey Parsons? Mustn't forget the pianist, you know.

[josh5676]

thank you for posting these videos!!!!

[idealgirl2011]

so bin so alleine brauche dringend jemanden

[BrookHornblower]

I think that Felicity Lot does justice to Schubert

[OceanbornSWT]

I Can't stop of hear this, each time is more beatiful that the last.

[METALCLASSICO16]

Maravilhosa peça

[Glenmed]

A wonderful rendition by Flott. Such a talented lady - delightful and modest too.

[mozartiikodesu]

Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür!

[FREEASTHESTARS]

I remember singing this my freshman year of High School for voice lessons!!

[caitybearr]

I'm working on this song in this key with my vocal coach. It is ABSOLUTELY beautiful.

[PolitaLolita]

AMAZING!!!

[Mattcc9]

Civileso! Diese Lied ist wunderbar und du hast sie zu mir gebracht. Ich danke dir däfur.

[classicalgal14]

Ich liebe diese lied ^.^ Danke ;)

[namuish0215]

악보를 볼줄모르는 나는 이곡이 상당히 어렵게 느껴진다

하지만 참으로 아름다운곡 꼭칠것이다

[FalconsViewpoint]

@namuish0215 악보 보는법 가능만하다면 꼭 가르쳐드리고 싶네요 댓글이 너무 감동적입니다... You said you didn't learn to read music sheets, though, I'm really impressed by your passion for music and Schubert's Lied.... I wish I would teach you when there's a chance

[twangman5]

Thank you Franz

[justinbieberfan484]

thanks for posting this song! its one I'm doing for my solo and the other ones I looked at were either a different key or not that good of a copy/ recording. thanks!

[trudix01]

Sowohl der Solistin als auch der Frau( Mann) am Gefügel meine herzlichsten Gkückwünsche.Da geht einem das Herz auf.Das kommt direkt aus dem Himmel.

[NoirOrchestre]

Is the original key in D ? I always played it in C wich sounds a bit less "light"...

[marcocito]

Non seulement c'est magnifique, mais son allemand est impeccable, Bravissima.

[vmogui]

This is so beautiful!

[soopsje]

Fantastic how you made this video! Thank you a Lot

[ERSCAUS]

Simply beautiful! The music and the voice.

[princenosiatajansen]

schubert ;) the king

[1401JSC]

Hi, Joey.

It's kind of you to reply to my...rhetorical questions. In fact I was gently criticisng this pianist :)

Actually le modern pedal has not at all the same effect as up to 7 pedals on the pianoforte of Schubert's day.

Most of his piano music can be played withoutout the pedal. Try it! Everything becomes much clearer.

Since the chords in the RH can be repeated (bewebung) without entirely letting up the keys, you harly need the pedal.

[1401JSC]

Moderato 2/2, not moderato 4/4!

What do the staccato dots mean to the pianist?

And fp?

And >?

Beautiful voice.

Love Felicity Lott of the 1970s & 80s.

Some pairs of 1/8 notes are sung unequally "short-long". Awful modern tendancy.

Who is he (Graham Johnson?)

[mozartiikodesu]

I love her song.

It's really prayer.....

[220370120171]

Superbe! Rien à ajouter.

[coshicosh]

wunderschön ♥

[AndThePizza]

Nah dude. I have perfect pitch. It's as shown.

[cyeh2]

I don't have any tuning fork with me, but I am sure that the Lied is sung here in a higher key than D major (as the score shown).

[fingerriddles]

No, she does actually sing in this key.

[TheKnittingSongbird]

Just lovely. Says everything I feel about music in a nutshell.  Thanks for posting with the music and lyrics!

[FerozaLaBonne]

I love Felicity Lott, her interpretation is so pure and straight from the heart, no exaggeration or calling attention to herself.

[foilenom]

THANK YOU!! i'm learning this song and i don't know any german, much less how to pronounce all the words. listening to the german and following the words helped me so so much!

[fne12]

First you should learn the german language!

[Musesque]

Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate it, this has helped me so much!!

[ISwimForChrist]

Does anyone know if Thomas Quasthoff does a version of this song?

[liedersanger1]

No, it's written for a VERY womanly character.

[ISwimForChrist]

I would have to respectfully disagree, this song is done beautifully as a Baritone. George London, for example, does a great version. The text itself is quite

[stephlikes2sing]

yes Quasthoff does have a version of this song. there's a video on youtube (its with orchestra accompinament), plus its on one of his cds (which i believe is called "the voice")

[lucamadeus]

so moving...

[T2Judgmentday]

whats

Die Musik passt super dazu! Schöner Autowagen!

[julihaenna]

schoener Autowagen?!

that means "nice car"...

strange...

[bstonebalboa]

autowagen ist no word

auto = car

wagen= also means car

so you just said carcar

[julihaenna]

ich weiss, ich spreche auch Deutsch.

ich hab einfach einem geantwortet, der vorher was geschrieben hat der iwie meinte "schoener autowagen"

[bstonebalboa]

ich glaube die lernen wircklich in der schule das man car mit autowagen übersetzt

[civileso]

LOL :-) Ja, Google-Übersetzung

[sugarbaby2905]

@bstonebalboa das denke ich auhc

[Icewings]

Veery nice , thank you I'm actually performing the same version for my class, so Yay thanks for the help !

[TheEternalTriumphant]

Wonderful. Thank you for posting. Did you manually take screenshots and painstakingly synchronize them with the music? If so, double-thanks!

[civileso]

I most certainly did ;)

Thanks for recognizing the effort, I appreciate it. :)

[zfranklyn]

@civileso wow!! it really does make a difference!! Thank you for posting :D

[swanningaround]

Beautiful redition. A'int youtube wonderful!

[NadiaDenisse]

MAGNIFICAL!!! BEAUTIFUL!!

Does anybody have the sheet music of this song??

Because I want to sing it!!

[musicale930]

yes...it's exactly like it's shown on the video. if you want it, i can email it to you or something?

[luziederschrecken]

If ever you have the chance go see the autograph in the British Museum in London. I was deeply impressed to see that he wrote his own name so much smaller than the one of his friend who wrote the lyrics that without his music would have been just a nice poem.

[Outdoorsie1]

I sang this song for a recital, I was going through an interesting time in my life and this song really hit home. I love the way its sung, its absolutely beautiful.

[musicdivinemusic]

Thanks a lot to the poster. You can enjoy it also with a baritone voice (Dieskau, Qualsthoff) or with Terry Wey & the Vienna Boys' Choir. Beautiful, solemn, touching!

[elsavbrabant]

This is such a beautiful piece of music, thank you!

[Thalysiakeuh]

beautiful :)

[LaBelleHelene]

Magic...

[mauriciostarosta]

Who is the pianist?? I think he deserves the credit for such a wanderful performance!!

[aches27]

The great Graham Johnson's accompanied for most of her recordings as well as for live performances. So I should think it's him here.

[justwatchingyours]

nicely done.

[Ciobhean]

Thanks a million!!!!:-)

[Ciobhean]

Wonderful, a really nice, modern practice! :-)

Do you have Schubert's "Serenade" (Leise flehen meine Lieder)? I'd love to see that here.

Keep on practicing, I've been doing it with and without vocal teachers for nearly 15 years now. It's expensive, exhausting and frustrating sometimes. But I love it! :-)

Good luck!

[civileso]

I'm sure I have at least 10 different versions of the Serenade. I have been searching for the other serenade of his for some time though.. The one for soprano and a male choir. But, sure I can upload the famous serenade for you. And thanks for encouragement.

[DerWandrer]

A true Schubert voice and a masterful interpretation both my singer and accompanist. Great performance!

[operawiz]

this is such an awesome practice tool!!

[0andiemusik0]

Maravilloso

este lied es un acsenso al cielo

Cuan grandiosa es la mùsica, cuan sagrado es este arte

[mozartiikodesu]

This music is a prayer.

His masterpiece of 25 years old.

[MarkBellinghaus]

Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür!

Beautiful, excellent voice!
