Fischer-Dieskau Sings Mahler "Ging heut Morgen übers Feld"

[FREUDEMUSIK]

ディースカウ大好き。子供の頃から聴いてます。その表現の多彩さ­が素敵。

[dkurgano]

same theme as 1st symphony :)

[itismusic4life]

Me and all who watched DFD in his prime and in this Mahler Lied are soooo fortunate! This is amazing, didn't dare to hope it would exist. My first LP was DFD and Furtwangler, then I heard DFD in a Lieder Recital in the Amsterdam Royal Concert Hall in 1958, and I believe this performance is around the same time. He was a Master of the Lied! Thank you for uploading this Video, you did a lot of people a unmeasurable favour! Thanks from Australia.

The living Legend :) it looks so easy....

[flylooper]

DF-D and Hampson are about the best baritones I think I've ever heard. They are both wonderful musicians.

[taraleanne1987]

The emotion in his face says it all at the end. Even if you don't know what the translated lyrics are...anyone can see the heartbreak here. So powerful <3

[PoseidonRM]

6 people dislike this?? There is a difference between liking another version better and this one being bad. This is wonderful. I listen to this regularly to feel better about the world :)

[physphilmusic]

The ending is heartbreaking.

[the4000class]

what dvd is this from

[dude999998]

I don't think there is a more difficult cycle to sing for baritone.

If you don't appreciate how astounding this is, you are a soulless waste of DNA.

[DDS1906]

Delightful

[cmhiekses]

Thomas Allen did it better.

[AfroPoli]

Terrible. He destroyed the German Lied culture. He sounds like a church tenor singing for grandmothers. Schlusnus was the last real German baritone. And even Prey was much etter than him.

[ab0520]

@AfroPoli You'd be hard pressed to find a respectable member of the professional music world to agree with you on that one.

[gratecourt]

@AfroPoli

Thanks for being the voice of reason. DFD was to baritones roughly what Placido Domingo is to tenors. Big voice (I heard him live, it was huge), big repertory, no top, hammy acting. And you're right about Prey, who sounds so weird but at least has the charm in this music that smug DFD lacks.

[Astradamors]

I've got this concert on DVD! Die zwei blauen Augen brings tears to my eyes. I also have him on the CD recording he made with Furtwaengler. No one sings this like F-D. Thanks por posting it.

[eurydike]

how he is gooood. divine.

[MIERDOLAN]

berijas de tio

[rovingdesertfox]

Not bad for a smoker!

[mariandelochs]

Compleat performance - with wonderful expression!

[Englishtenor2]

He looks like William Shatner here! Divine voice!

[laqerhill]

this and the other songs from this Lieder collection = the themes on which his first symphony was based

[spacecadet2016]

He does it well on camera; not a perfect performance in terms of his pitch, but he's a remarkable artist all the same. Pity the orchestra doesn't come over so well (boxy, not technically perfect). WHO is the conductor; which orchestra, please?

[bodiloto]

-  10 !!!!!

[Baritime]

This is as good as it gets... such a beautiful piece sung by such a beautiful voice. Such strength and clarity on the top end coupled by some of the greatest pianissimo singing known to man... simply astounding

[marialebed]

Thank you very much! I heard this recording two years ago and couldn't find it! I'm in love with it, specially with the end. How is it possible to sing like this??

[paminablue]

El mejor cantante de lieder habido y por haber, ahí estaba en la mejor época de su vida y de su carrera, me encanta esta interpretación, me encanta esta canción, me encanta este cantate!!! Viva el lider!!! Viva Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau!!!

[Panzombren]

He is jamming in this recording!  I love it!!!!

[Panzombren]

This man possessed the best piannisimo skills out of all the voices I've heard - from Bjorling to Caruso to anyone...

Imo: he was the best Barotone to walk the earth, and if I had to compare him to anyone; I would say he sounds like Bjorling in terms of pure Technical skill.

His tone was amazing as well.... he had some of the best control out of all the voices I've heard, AND his facial expressions when he sings are awesome - he clearly felt/understood what he was singing about.

[aesthetic1950]

I agree. He radiates JOY!

[jacobsimon]

He looks a bit like Paul Potts

[paminablue]

¿Qué problema hay en eso?

[aesthetic1950]

Can't help it. This makes my eyes extremely watery. So beautiful.

[thelex001]

Awesome. Is this the most perfect performance of Ging heut Morgen übers Feld imaginable? DFD youthful, charismatic, expressive, a brilliant voice. With a wonderful Mahlerian at the podium - Paul Kletzki and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau are a peerless combination. I have their Das Lied von der Erde (with Murray Dickey) and on the flip DFD singing Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen with Furtwangler - a very similar Ging heut.. A marvelous, cherished recording on Seraphim, still in print on CD.

[HonestJago]

Fischer Dieskau is the best lieder singer... And perhaps not only...

[3fGilchrist]

Does anyone know where one can find the rest of this performance?

[ariastoteles]

Excellent video and excellent baritone. This is the most beautiful lied in the entire Universe.

[TonyDi]

Ah yes, DFD, what a tremendous voice. And THIS my favorite Mahler piece. I did this for my senior voice recital 20 some years ago now - what a great exercise and sonorous tone-poem to say the least. Loved doing it. But to hear DFD do it, buttah!! Got a voice like Buttah!! What control and range. Thanks for posting it.

[leadingbyxample]

Ah...this brings me such joy!

[woutanh]

This is such joyful sounding music.

[nostovitch]

best bariton ever!

[Asquaredx2]

His facial expressions really complete a wonderful performance. Bravo!

[ilbacioditosca]

Dieskau sung tenor for a while but like Prey sung baritone while their registration is higher than baritone.

[nkleined]

Wonderful performance by Mr. Fischer-Dieskau. He has amazing high notes for being a baritone. I bet he could have been a tenor if he worked on it early in his career, but then I guess he wouldn't have the fantastic warmth in his sound. Excellent video

[encore2jour]

Thank you for posting this! One of the very great singers of Lieder and Mahler. The first ever LP I bought was DFD singing this cycle under Furtwangler, and so I got hooked on Lieder and Mahler. Then I heard him in the late fifties in a recital in Amsterdam. Awesome! DFD has a live recording of Lied von der Erde with Wunderlich! Fantastic.

[ALEMANHAMER]

MAHLER..QUE MARAVILLA...

[David6180]

I was wondering why I recognized part of this--I only heard Songs of a Wayfarer once before. "The melody of this movement, as well as much of the orchestration, is developed into the 'A' theme of the first movement of the First Symphony." Mahler did a good job in composing this and another good job in reusing such a beautiful piece.

Thanks, TheGreatPerformers, for putting up these great pieces. I didn't discover Fischer-Dieskau until I heard him on YouTube.

[amoralescurcio]

Como siempre, grandioso. Voz hermosa. Técnica perfecta.

[giloubreizh]

style replet

[sergeantkern]

great, what else is there?

[paul94708]

Those F#s and high As are chilling in their effortlessness and poignancy, in the way they mingle sound and meaning.

[brendanemig]

how old was he in this one?

[mbouman]

I make this to be about 1964, so he's in his mid to late 30s. See the vid of Erlkonig, where he looks a bit chubby and has that peculiar hair. This haircut is on the way to the sleeker look he adopted around age 40, but he still has his boyish looks here.

[vigwig]

Thank you for your wonderful channel and posting this!

[Syd1940]

Wonderful. A favourite singer; a favourite composer; Thank you

[hufarted]

How is he so effortless and light in his upper range? Crazy.

[NormanParkin1]

shitty music seems to get away with good technique, tell me why?

[burgerz28]

Mahler is hardly shitty, though I do agree that this song displays many of the excellent qualities of his voice.

[sllldllld]

You are a fucking moron

[ariastoteles]

I love this Lied, I love this composer and I love Fischer-Dieskau!

[billyguns2]

I always think of this singer when I think of Mahler; thanks for posting this. The tempo seems a bit fast.

[nibelungensohn]

Quasthoff comes close, but F-D is still the best in this lied.

[fightthespoons]

Quasthoff actually studied under FD.

[bruceleeC64]

legend !

[FORGE8700]

one of my favs.

[theCommenteer]

Nobody else needs to sing that.
