Schubert, Litanei.

[shackbhoy]

I have this on a cd and been searching for it on here for ages - a beautiful rendition of a perfect piece of music.

[haydnothomas]

I love this so much-at each pause ,i pause and then sway gently as it continues.

[mariadelamor21]

!Esto es precioso! Really beautiful. Thanks.

[HiRoTuBeCa]

This piece is just simply great.

[libetta]

schubert's music just makes me cry!

[minijatura26]

so good...

[feistyfairy99]

i am singing this for voice lessons at college.

[dbookin]

Beautiful I sang this piece in HS over 20 years ago.

[phlarrdboi]

che bello!

[beckey707]

weel normaly there is moeone who sings in stead of a violin, but this sounds lovely too

[ah332]

this is not a violin

[beckey707]

sorry your right it's a cello

[victoriakraus]

I remember that my father owned Schubert´s Litanei in a 78 RPM record, performed by Nathan Milstein, in viola. I had never forget it! It only remains now the "Serenate" in 45 RPM, and it is damaged!

Where can I find them?

Certainly, this performance of Litanei is the best I hear now. Very good, Sonia!

[susull29]

i thought the text was by jacobi

[lorenzolba]

Thanks a lot JC for this video!

I never heard before about Sonia Wieder-Atherton. She reminds me Jacqueline du Pré who for me was a prodigy cellist.

Thanks again

[fellowjimbo]

Melancholy yet celestial...Schubart's Litanei is beautifully interpreted here.

[musonymous]

I love Schubert songs on the cello .Even without the beautiful vowel sounds that a voice brings, the melody carries all the emotion of the words when played like this.

[fairylilac]

I love this piece, sang it once in a choir, but have not been able to find it since. It is beautiful.

[phlarrdboi]

me too! Its so beautiful isn't it? i remember i loved singing it when i was a kid. its v melancholic but serene. I am surprised choirs don't record it all the time.

[ah332]

because it's meant for solo voice. i have a video with bryn terfel singing it

[phlarrdboi]

ah...

[rabmunch]

For the Happy Few.

-------------- Stendhal

[jolicrasseux]

Nice words... furthermore by Stendhal !!! Total agreement with you Rabmunch !

[mozartiikodesu]

Nice music!!

Litanei ½

Magnifique interprétation de Litanei !

Ce Lied demeure assurément l'un des plus émouvants et accomplis, émanant du génie mélodique & harmonique de Franz Schubert !

La synergie violoncelle & piano témoigne ici d'un sens musical et spirituel particulièrement aigu, délicat, dont la symbiose élégiaque ne peut qu'aller droit au cœur.

[zinutile]

Bravo pour l'utilisation adroite de vocabulaire, mais je donne -1 pour la futilité du commentaire complètement subjectif dont le but n'était que l'étalage adroit de connaissances linguistiques légèrement au-dessus de la moyenne...

[phlarrdboi]

c clair. elle l'a copié des sleeve notes du disque.

Litanei 2/2

This beautiful song was composed by Franz Schubert in 1818 (last of the Jacobi songs) for the celebration of All Saint's Day and then subsequently arranged for solo voice, male choir, piano & symphonic orchestra.

Of a deep devotional nature, this Lied shows an exquisite example of humble affection.

Each verse ends with the refrain:

- Alle Seelen, Ruhn in Frieden

- All Souls rest in peace

[shadybarkis]

Beautiful music making. Thanks Jean - Claude. I'd not heard of this cellist before but her tone reminds me a little of the great Paul Tortelier. Magnifique !

[Coroemcanto]

Simply PERFECT! Schubert was a master, that's for sure! Thank you for sharing this video with us!

[Birdy1166]

Sonia Wieder-Atherton plays "Litanei" by F. Schubert.. and the pianist is Imogen Cooper ? not sure..) thnaks for the answer

[fwc07]

Yes, the pianist is the fantastic Imogen Cooper, someone you can't forget when you have heard her very special sound and poise.
