Thank you for posting this. This must surely be the benchmark performance of Schubert's Erlkönig. The incredible richness and purity of tone, the faultless diction and the great subtlety of tone between the three voices of the father, the child and the erl king make this the most perfect performance yet of this famous song. Just listen to the phrase "Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt fasst er mich an, Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan" - sheer perfection!

Better than this interpretation, only the interpretation of Jessye Norman

This is the version I play for my students... it really freaks them out! They want to hear it over and over. I provide them a translation to address literacy, and the original German as well.

@jasonlloyd33 And the way he sings the Erlking's part too, wow that is lulling

Great version. The intensity is more urgent than I've herd in many versions and I love that.

I'm actually just using this video for a paper I have to do, but Terfel's doing it!!! I was watching this amazing singer on Andrea Bocelli in central Park, and then I just saw him here and I was like, oh hey, its that guy lol :)

I like his voice! He sings with so much energy!

I prefer Fischer-Dieskau's version, but this is quite lovely.
