Hermann Prey "Gute Nacht"

[minimitmit]

great interpretation. anyway i prefer hans hotter's.

[NaegaJayo]

@minimitmit I understand what you mean even though I didn't hear this by Hotter. Prey's voice is a little softer than you imagine this song to be. Fischer-Dieskau I like best. Still unforgettable Prey version.

Awesome, thank you for posting.

[ernent]

Prey great as ever and as a nice bonus one can pracitce one's Italian ...

[MasterBroki]

how old is the recording? Prey looks older than when he did le nozze di figaro

[FunkMartian]

Thank you Mr. Prey - An dich hab' ich gedacht.

[chriswhere]

Wonderful wonderful singing.

[MVerbesserung]

It's amazing to me that Prey could be such a ham on the opera stage (in a generous, charming way), and then sing lieder like this with such stillness and simplicity. It's almost a self-effacing performance, but truly it takes a great artist to have the courage to step aside and trust the music and words speak for themselves. I was lucky enough to attend one of his last Winterreise performances. He barely moved, and his voice showed its age, but it was totally riveting.

[arpeggio1358]

@MVerbesserung He was one of the most brilliant and versatile performers of the 20th Century. We won't see someone like him again.

Magnifique Monsieur Prey, par delà les cieux ...

[mehlprinz74]

klasse, einfach klasse! ich könnt heulen vor lauter glücksgefühl.

[100Singers]

Perhaps the most beautiful Baritone-voice of the last 50 years. Mr. Prey was excellent as a Liedersinger - his rendition of "Die schöne Müllerin" with Leonard Hokanson is a masterpiece of subtly singing. And in his book "Premierenfieber" he gave a worth reading essay about "Winterreise".

Preys Timbre ist unverwechselbar.

So lovely......

[Barpoint212]

Great, sensitive musician.  Thank you!

[prodesica]

Per completezza aggiungo che il pianista è Helmut Deutsch, uno dei massimi specialisti del repertorio liederistico. Grandissimo Hermann Prey!!!

[wippocarter]
