Die Winterreise is of all times - this is a fresh new rendering, well played, well sung. The movie adds a new dimension that fits well.

I don't know how he seems to sing so many of these songs without blinking at all. incredible.

I posted translations to most of these songs as put on YouTube today. If the song text was too long to be accepted as a first post, my "reply" starts the poem, and the text continues in the "original" post. Arthur Rishi is the translator of all of these.

Yo tambien.

Hard to better this! Oh why to the men have all the best songs! So much better than all the old men who have cornered the market for so long.

A work of genius is a hard act either to follow or embellish. This film manages to both lead in new directions as well as create an environment which Schubert would have been hard pushed to describe any better himself.. All accomplished with astonishing economy of means and perfect taste. Thank you.

Great insight, thanks.

[Droga5555]

Beautifully described!

[Droga5555]

Thanks for explaining this so accurately. I have often experienced this with some folk music. While being perhaps technically excellent it can feel very empty. I feel the same when listening to this.

[Tatiana Rakovski]

There`s a big difference between dramatic music and a decadent platitude, which pretends to be very profound and refined.

[eddiethesock]

absolutely beautiful and haunting.

No entiendo nada pero se escucha tan lindo ...

[David Davtyan]

What is that old German type-face? Just curious.
