@askdhg All that matters ultimately, is that the intention of Heine and Schumann are brought to life by the artist. All the technical formalities matter naught if the artist hasn't internalized what the poem means and made it his/her. William Warfield's recommendation is that movement is OK, as long as the idea and the passion to convey it are front and center beyond your technical abilities.

@Amiduffer I think you can listen to a CD? So, why acting in Lieder? They´re not operas...
-
Anyone who's been close to a member of the military knows that they do not gesticulate wildly or flail their arms about to get a point across. This is a beautiful interpretation by a magnificent singer and man, the greatest Wotan of all time.

@ericbrockway Its just a question how the singer acts. Sometimes its more emotionizing (dont know if this exits) to wave your arms. Hans Hotter hisself is not waving with his hands but showing the expressions through his face, especially with his eyes.

I am so glad that Mr Hotter does NOT wave his hands all the time. This is true Lieder singing. When singing opera Mr Hotter ACTED and waved his hands and jumped and walked. Americans seem to expect people to ACT when singing Lieder but it is of course distracting and just not done! Mr Hotter was one of the greatest Lieder singers! He does not need to wave his hands to tell a story!

Sublime Hotter Grazie !**********infinite !

He looks younger here than in the 1962 Tokyo recital elsewhere on YT. So mid to late 1950's seems more probable.

Absolutely superb. What a voice, what an incredible interpretation of a great song. Thank you Leuenzahn, vielen vielen Dank! I disagree with Amiduffer. His stance is very professional. This song does not need histrionics from the performer. Hotter's supreme vocal expression conveys the soldier's feelings perfectly. "Very good vocally" is rather an understatement for someone who was arguably the greatest bass-baritone of his generation, or indeed of all time.

Thank you so much!
Apart from his divine interpretation & awesome voice, I do appreciate Hotter's 'old fashioned stance', I hate 'arm flailing', aka as 'acting'. ;)
