"Herr, lehre doch mich,
daß ein Ende mit mir haben muß,
daß mein Leben ein Ziel hat
und ich davon muß.
Siehe, meine Tage sind einer Hand breit vor Dir,
und mein Leben ist wie nichts vor Dir.
Ach wie gar nichts sind alle Menschen,
die doch so sicher leben.
Sie gehen daher wie ein Schemen
und machen ihnen viel vergebliche Unruhe;
sie sammeln und wissen nicht,
wer es kriegen wird.
Nun Herr, wes soll ich mich trösten?
Ich hoffe auf Dich."
*
"Lord, teach me
that there is an end to my existence,
that my life has a purpose
and that I must go away from here.
My days are but a hand's breadth to you,
and my life is like nothing to you.
Oh, how insignificant they are,
all those self-assured people.
They walk around like shadows,
and flurry about in vain,
gathering riches without knowing
who will get it all.
Tell me Lord, how shall I find consolation?
My hope is in you."
Psalm 39
"Der Gerechten Seelen sind in Gottes Hand
und keine Qual rühret sie an."
*
"The souls of the righteous are in God's hand,
and no pain can touch them."
Book of Wisdom 3,1
This is a rather dated TV broadcast, so I thought it's okay to post here. If there is any copyright infringement, please let me know and I'll take it down.
Bible translations from Luther to English are my own, though.
Io amo moltissimo questa interpretazione. Grande Thomas Hampson.

Yes his talent is indeniably boundless, but I don't quite like his style all that much. Maybe I'm doing him wrong but he seems vain to me and usually trying too hard to look good (not necessarily in this very clip but elsewhere I've seen and heard him).

I am 100% not in love with his technique. I would not emulate that.
