Schubert - "Ständchen" D957

[StarnodeControl]

A jewel among diamonds, shining in the firmament. Timeless piece of music, engraved forever in humanity's legacy. Makes me cry of joy and misery each time.

[copernicus0901]

Durch die Nacht zu dir; ..."

[sebastianrc]

Simply amazing

[TheTremo99]

Incredible. 

[lucas1997bom]

I don't know why,but I love these type of videos:like a beautiful old painting,cello or violin and piano.Isn't this fantastic?

[Enneise]

Magnifique !!!

[manemav]

Splendid arrangement! Thanks for sharing.

[lelicoux]

Human word can't describe the melancholy I feel listening to this timeless masterpiece,it instantly brings me back to a time I've never really lived.I'm speechless.

[luigiperso]

who are the two saddos who didn't like this? Fantastic music

[Dtriptow]

This is gorgeous. The cello is so heart wrenching to listen to. I am breath taken. 

[DrMbongoNdenge]

Danke für dieses Stück HARMONICO!

[Johannesbaerli]

Wenn alle Menschen Gott lieben, ist alle Liebe vereint.

Und seine Liebe strahlt zu uns zurück.

[Johannesbaerli]

Wenn alle Menschen Gott lieben, ist alle Liebe vereint.

[ranmahalfhater]

oh wow, I feel overwhelmed in a good way of course.

[Ukrainsky51]

very nice

[chalice03]

I was about to troll here. But no, I don't think I should, this is sacred ground.

So beautiful!

[maaaarkeeee]

yes i agree it is a beautiful song. it speaks alot of emotions when i hear this piece. and of course the cello, its (to me) the only musical instrument that can reach my core of emotions.

thank you for posting this piece

[Mongo1940]

I've loved this song for 60 years. It doesn't seem too difficult to play to me but I never was able to play the ocharina. I just love good music and this is one of the best. Thanks for posting it.

[ThisIsARomCom]

possibly the most emotionally beautiful and thrilling piece of music I have heard in a long time...

[Zofzoeif]

C'est toujours un plaisir d'écouter les belles mélodies de Schubert. Ce compositeur était un génie.

[mensou123]

Leaves me spell-bound, every time I listen to this rendition :-)

[HelloHalo117]

What's the painting called? It's beautiful, fits perfectly with this piece.

[rachelee101]

i thought Liszt Composed this??

[HARMONICO101]

@rachelee101 Liszt made an arrangement of this piece for solo piano.

[groch3]

@HARMONICO101 Did Liszt arrange for piano more of Schubert's pieces?

[Perkeno]

@rachelee101 Liszt is not that good :-))

[maleshk]

but i found you and you started opening my horizont-i don't like bach and mozart (EXCEPT THE REQUIEM,I COULD DIE FOR) never thought of german-KOMPONIST to listen to,except german songwriter no the real name is " LIEDERMACHER",it's bizarre,i love this language,i almost only read german autors, even listen to some special popderivation but never ever thought of SCHUBERT-THANK YOU

[maleshk]

i m addicted to piano and violin-divine-but for classics i always was so fixed to the great russian componist-masters,i invented theories why they all made so more beautiful music like other ones,i mean i known it's a question of taste,but i mean the music played from the heart ,music to feel,so deeply inside of yourself,til you feel ass a note of it,i felt this too when i heart the fiddler on the row, just as example,

[SophieJ88]

This is one of my absolute favourite pieces to play on the piano and to listen to. I personally think that most of Schubert's pieces are better without the singing.

[objectivesubject]

this is insanely beautiful!

love the cello, such a great tone =D

[equivoque2008]

so nice music  !!!!! i loove so much

[kayjay1988]

@equivoque2008 Beautiful, isent it?

[schtroumphette7]

Interessant: certains arrivent à se disputer sur cette sérénade, quelle performance!? Le CD de C. Desert et A. Gastinel est une merveille. Vous pouvez aussi écouter "Auf dem Wasser zu singen" -version violoncelle de Gastinel...- en cherchant parmi mes vidéos. Merci pour celle-ci!

[maleshk]

@schtroumphette7 je t in vite à devenir non amie schtroumphette ah 7 , biensur, car j adore ton nom, spéciallement à cause de swon orthographe très spéciale...moi je mets tj des photo et pas des fotos,c est moche ,je suppose contrairement à toi...tu accepte? pas de panique je suis femelle ,en couple...ce n'est pas une mauvaise tentative de drague...a+ espéront

[Eurostar69]

This song is perhaps so beautiful that it is haunting. The song instills the feeling if joy, happiness, peace, and even sadness, all at once.

[zzfinance]

wonderful picture. I guess 200 yrs ago, most people won't travel much. they always lived somewhere like in the picture. they also need to work and been pushed hard?

[worldentropy]

I sincerely cannot figure out how, or why, a collective human existence capable of producing genius like Schubert, Vivaldi, Mozart, Mozart and Beethoven is able to bring harm to one another.

This is not just beautiful, this is hopelessly majestic and depressingly humbling.

[Perkeno]

@worldentropy That's what makes humanity interesting. You don't want to have french fries every single day...

[worldentropy]

@Perkeno .. So we'll have French Fries one day, and have potassium arsenide the next, because the contrast between Man's greatest mind works - alas this piece - and his sheer capacity to bring harm to his fellow Men is this sharp.

[ThotherBrother]

@worldentropy

Violins is violence. Piano is communist hammer and fascist string. Drum beats harken a pagan thing. Harmony is harm on yea. Only silence is golden. The rest is diamond and ash.

[Bluzme]

@worldentropy

You just made my day, thanks.

Quoted you already and I most certainly will again, as soon as another chance shows itself, another time :)

[gryderz]

@worldentropy you forgot BACH, the father of all of this

[MACDMACD]

Beautiful and very very emotive music.

[mutewoman]

Amazing, wonderful, wonderfully amazing! Thank you so much for this!!!

[HARMONICO101]

Frankly, you parade around like you know what you're talking about when you do not. There's enough of that here on youtube. Learn some humility. If you don't know what you are talking about, then keep your trap shut. It's an essential lesson.

I got my information relating to Vivaldi's ancestry from a short book called "Vivaldi" by Jeroen Koolbergen.

[HARMONICO101]

Not to play the blame game here, but you are the one perpetuating this exchange. I responded to your question and was not going add anything more. Then you come here and complain to me.

[BAlvsSJ]

What painting is this? can you help me find out?

[bubblykings]

I'm sorry, but who doesn't LOVE this! How can anyone not like this music?

[glass0000000]

I love this piece and Schubert but tthere is no music that likes to everyone...

[bubblykings]

...well, I was just expressing how much I love this! I don't actually mean that!

[sagievy]

How beautiful !!!

[MISOLIZACION]

Thank you for sharing

[afreename]

Both heart-rending and calm.

[afreename]

I'm usually good with words, but all I can say about this one is that it's simply beautiful.

[imusiciki]

A favourite piece of mine & what a beautiful arrangment! Thank you!

[mlleprufrock]

Can you tell the name of the painter?

[HARMONICO101]

It is "Autumn" by Frederic Edwin

Church (1875).

[Jalapablo]

J.K. Mertz did a beautiful arrangement of this lieder for solo classical guitar. Schubert was such a melodical genius; I've always adored his music.

[qwe07]

Such a beautiful, melancholic melody!
