Pianist is PHENOMENAL! Singer gives off an air that he thinks he's hot shit. :/

[Melher27]

the pianist looks like Isla Fisher

[CrazzyFreak1704]

Er ist wirklich gut

[ron619]

[Desideria7]

What is the name of this outstanding pianist?!!! Do you think that the producer and recording engineer merit to be nominated more than the pianist?!

[TEgnoto89]

[chuy029]

I just can't stop watching it. It is excellent. The piano is awesome and the voice is perfect!! Love it. Thanks for posting this video on YouTube.

[TubACapella237]

Piano player has orgasm after 3:35 where the piano modulates briefly to F Major. I did too. haha

[user6656]

Wow... I really enjoyed this performance! The singer is awesome! And who is the pianist? I'd like to listen to more of her playing.

[ladybugmalibu]

@lagunagreg how do you know he's not grateful for his accompanist? is that a stereotype you have for all classical performers in need of an accompanist, or for some strange reason do you feel that way about this one vocalist? she IS fantastic, no doubt about it. but as a performer, myself, it's quite ignorant of you to make such an accusation towards this gentleman.

[authorworld]

I've retired as a performance instructor for many years and marvel at how many young performers begin to spread their legs as they perform. I attribute this to nerves and tension in the body. The performance was wonderful but there always seems to be a loss of energy as the legs come apart.

[edwardgromano]

The pianist in this performance is Amazing. Her emphasis of dynamics, her effective implementation of the pedal, and her steady execution of accents (even on those 16th note chords) is particularly impressive. The vocalist on the other hand does an excellent job with dynamics and voices (acting out the Erlking, the boy, and the Father), but his accents at the beginning of the piece are lax which makes the piece loose some of its feeling.

[josanj222]

Absolutely amazing. Terfel, in my opinion, sings the best version of this and you really surprised me with how well you rival his version. Bravo! I'll be looking for more of your music!

[juelz2206]

The vocalist did a very well job...the pianist did a good job, but I feel as tho she was over powering him AE times...they should've had the lid of the piano half open

[expatmartin]

Phillipe very impressive and a wonderful interpretation and vocal beauty congratulations.

[artisticambition13]

wow

[bcg72]

Stunning! The singer looks like an American Idol contestant. Imagine my surprise when he opened his mouth and began to sing. Terrific performance by both singer and pianist.

[hybridfox]

The pianist is very talented as is the singer. Epic piece by Schubert as always.

[lajoiemagnifique]

Nevermind the singer, the pianist is smokin' hot!



[misscarly111]

@lajoiemagnifique it's really sad that you can only concentrate on the pianist's appearance instead of her amazing piano skills. concentrate on the music, you moron!!!!

[lagunagreg]

An astounding performance. The baritone is quite good, with wonderful colors vocally. Of course, he thinks it's all about him. But the pianist is AMAZING!!! This accompaniment is the supreme test of any piano technique. And she does it so easily, completely in control of every note, and with all these wonderful colors and changes in the touch and articulation. Wow! everyone is envious!!!! Graham Johnson himself could not have done it so well or beautifully.

Legendary singing man very well articulated German and contrast between the voices!

[lampardmusic]

Lovely work. Congratulations.

[Petronyc]

Beautiful and expressive interpretation. Bravi!

[jacquelineJonee]

Amazing! Very talented performers. Congratulations.

[eugesang]

es ist ein Genuss euch beiden zuzuhören!

[ClaudioLMascarenhas]

The best!

[esjomoch]

tu chantes comme un baritone, tu as une petite belle voix, a mon avis il t'a manqué beaucoup d'énergie...

[Phonologie]

@esjomoch Je pense que le piano est grandement amplifié

[lagunagreg]

@Phonologie - grandement ampliphie? I don't think so. This accompaniment is just plain noisy, darling.

[clarsue14]

@lagunagreg - Do you even know what "grandement amplifié" means? It means it's too loud. Read up on your french before you critique, darling.

[dimakauffman]

keep on improving, your voice and interpretation are truly promising

[baerschob]

Tolle Interpretation, schöne Stimme und fast akzentfrei, Respekt, klasse begleitet!

[RobLobstuhh]

Wow. Great work from both of you. I LOVE the pianist's face near the end! Priceless.

[OscarLevant1]

good work from the painist...

[woodmassr]

Wow.  Amazing, both of you!
