I just love this.
-
Sir Thomas does a wonderful rendition here--this is just gorgeous.
Thank you for uploading this, Gabba02. I remember hearing Mahler's First Symphony years ago and my father told me there was also a "song" version of it. When I finally heard this lied, I couldn't believe how beautiful it was.
-
You penetrate orchestras with your consonants, not your full throttle voice. Mahler intended the voice to be interwoven with the texture of the orchestra.
-
Impressive that even singing "piano" he has both the needed delicacy as well as the strength to penetrate against what's still relatively busy orchestration (even if the orchestra is playing softly). Many singers would still be full-throated there.
-
not only do I absolutely ADORE this work beyond all description (especially this particular lied because I love the first symphony so much) but I can imagine so clearly (don't judge me hahaha) walking through the world of Oblivion (the best video game ever) as this song and the one before it play through. Mahler's ability to create a whole universe of sound defies humanity, and this performance ALMOST defies Mahler himself! PERFECTION ACHIEVED WELL DONE!
-
Is this the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra, I think I remember seeing a video on some site years ago, before YouTube, of a performance of that orchestra with Thomas Allen as soloist in this song cycle by Mahler.
-
The orchestra looks very young! I think I would drop dead if I had to play with Sir Tom!
-
Sir Thomas is (was?) one of our finest singers. A warm and beautiful voice, married to exceptional sensitivity and musicality --
-
how beautiful - what a great artist!
-
This is gorgeous and Thomas Allen does an amazing job with it. Mahler is incredible!

Why not? Independent thought can develop equally well from using recordings to identify what you like and what you don't.
