Marcella Calabi sings Schubert, "Gretchen am Spinnrade"

[feetje2008]

very good interpretation, well sung and very "vivid', almost like an opera aria. The German is not perfect but it doesn't disturb at all because this singer really takes away your breath, beautiful voice and very much in control. The pianist plays if she is sitting at a real spinningwheel, technically very good and following the singer perfectly. I really love this performance!

I don't understand why this interpretation has only 3 1/2 stars ...

It's a really good interpretation, you've got it:

"... sein Händedruck, und ach, sein Kuß!"

Your german pronounciation is exzellent!

Compliments also for the pianist!

[cdoggiefizzle]

compelling.

[aarch89]

Congratulations, an absolutely great performance.

yeah, it is a bit fast, but really cool. The pianist is good too

[Elthalio]

F. Schubert really was a genius. You can hear the spinning-wheel spin and spin: It stops for awhile and then again continues very hypnotic!

[CptJackSparrowLove]

Yup. The music was meant to sound like that. It get huge and faster at the climax, pauses, then starts again.

Very genius indeed.

[sappho4beginners]

great song, really! I'll sing that Kunstlied for my final exam in solo singing, so she's a great help ;-)

[AlexiouValenti]

Who is this singer? I don't mean the name.Should I know her?

I think that she is eccelent but the tempo is a little too fast!!

[primadonna13]

[twangman5]

[cadi11acblues]

[iaoming]

What a gem! What a genius Franz Peter Schubert was!

[HelloKitty86]

The emotion in this performance seems so real that I can picture a real woman in this situation saying those words even though they are sung!

[boris1281]

This is one of the best performances of this amazing Lied!!!
