Schubert - Der Wanderer

Nice accompaniment! Who is the pianist?

Gerald Moore, of course. :) Credits are at the end of the video.

Of course it is Moore, who else could have played this so musically! Since his name was not in the description and I did not watch the credits, I listened until the last sung note though, I thought that you had not given him credit, my mistake!

My secret agenda here was to express that I do not consider Mr. Fischer-Dieskau's singing on par with Moore's playing. His colour is really bright here and the long held high notes are simply unmusical and fake emotion IMO.

I know you love this singer and maybe you can counter my comment. Did you listen to the version I posted sung by Hans Hotter?

No hard feelings, please, I just want to argue a bit!

When I first heard this recording years ago, I was struck by the high soft notes on "immer wo", and the final low note, which I think is a low E, which is low for a baritone.

placed into my playlist of Caspar Friedrich, thanks

I'm amused that you first mention Wagner in reference to Bryn Terfel. As if he should be singing Wagner. Have you heard him sing Wotan's farewell? He'll kill his voice any day now continuing down that path.

??? I think you misinterpreted my comment (from mid-July, I might add). I was replying to AccidentalTouch's original comment. I was juxtaposing the character in one's voice from Wagner to Schubert. We're talking about Fischer-Dieskau.

It's so beautiful that hurts

LOL! Best of luck with it! :)
