Britten is SUBLIME here; the 'soundscape' he realises here! no separate notes, no hammers anymore; he really transcended the piano. And what is all these remarks on Pears about?? you like him or not; singers have their individual sound and technique, but you cannot deny there's an outstanding artist ànd singer here!

How true! And have you ever heard such a "telepathic" musical couple? Like we say in Sweden: "Två själar - en tanke"! (two souls - one thought). First time I SEE this! (only have it on record.)

@Buddhaxe Something like: Britten, from white collar worker to blue, one of the most oustanding opera writer of XX´s, playing humbly, the piano part of a beautifull chamber music, pardon my english.

Respond to this video...  I request an English version of you comment (but not of the music of course!)

@Lactoris1 They are meant to be in German, let's keep it that way please!

Hmm compare it with the version with Fritz Wunderlich and you will see that the only good thing about this version is the piano.... Peter Pears is overrated and Dudley Moore knows why :)

WOOW

the pianist unbelievable =) such a smooth sleight of his hands

great

[michatoyota]

I really like his voice, is perfect, it look like is so easy to do, but it is easy only for him because he is great!!!!!!

I thought pianist Britten was outstanding in "Das Wandern" opening number of the Schone Mullerin cycle, and Peter Pears is at his very best in this second number "Wohin". We can be thankful to have a wide variety of Schubert interpreters, though the United States lags a bit. Perhaps really good English translations or adaptations would help reach a wider American audience for Schubert lieder.

Britten se saca el smocking y se pone el overalll, demostrando que tiene el sesgo caracteristico de los mas grandes: la humildad, uno, si no el mas, grande operista del siglo veinte, cultivando uno de los generos mas hermosos, la cancion de camara (ENGLISH VERSION ON REQUEST)

Pears was always a bit controversial, people loved him or hated him. I think he's great.  I think Schubert's songs were the best things he did and amongst the greatest Western classical music ever produced.

the song is about a little stream and the piano part is supposed to sound like a babbling, ever-flowing, and clear stream.
