Well, you dont have to like everything. Nice shaped frases and i undestand why so many people loves this but still...for me too clinical, tricky, superficial voice. I feel locked to hear so "diciplined" music. I prefer honest and fullbodied singing... Just my opinion.

The complete lack of vibrancy in his singing is a trick on the public. It's so easy for people to cite him as an "authentic" performer or point out his musicality, but the most celebrated Schubert singer, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, did not sing like this. He sang with color and vibrancy far beyond this mincing, gesticulating, hunched-over, pasty nonsense. Need I remind you who tout Bostridge's "musicality" that NOWHERE in Schubert's score does it say "senza vibrato".

@dziady1 : That was very well put, and every word true, but I still love their interpretation. IB sings with his nerves, and nerves have feeling, too. Pappano, Uchida and Drake are all highly emotional players and so can offset B's getting lost in details, losing passion and momentum. I adore it despite many valid and real faults. Perhaps they seem earnest.

Wonderful - not quite so as his Winterreise. Personally I feel Schwannengesang needs more gravitas in it. Try the Henze recording Bostridge has done.
-
Actually I see your point. Perhaps Bostridge's interpretation is fussy and self conscious. I can see that. Nevertheless many of us are still quite hopelessly in love with the delicacy and gentleness of it.

@dziady1 Gerard Souzay was magnificent... but even he lost his youth's magnificence...
It is sad that you cannot hear any beauty in this magnificent voice!
-
I love Bostridge's singing. He has a magnificent voice for one, he gives his music his all, and he is true to his voice and that is of utmost importance. I can listen and hear what his emotion portrays - without words... and that is the art of singing.
All life is 'in the moment' you can enjoy this for what is given... true artistry from an excellent artist... then walk away and enjoy something else...

@OKelleyPaidir -Nonsense - you have to
just hear Souzay to understand the beauty of lieder singing .Bostridge with his
diction bit becomes" precious" and the music suffers .He can't manage to make both one.The pianist colours the sound
one way and the singer another .Too
busy interpreting and not enough music .
They suffer from lack of imagination .

@dziady1 It is Schubert... it is Lieder. It should be mannered. Understanding the analysis and the subtleties of the Lieder is the only way to interpreting it. If you are too "emotional" with art song, it loses its authenticity. It loses its intimacy. It loses it value. It becomes a joke. Study up on your knowledge of performance practice and interpretive styles, because you evidently aren't familiar with the pieces he's singing.

Amazing how they manage to kill the
music- being so determined to bring
out the "art" of the song . They are too
full of themslves and less to Schubert.
They both analyze it to death and end
with the most mannered performances
I have ever heard .A pathetic twosome .

A very fine voice for lieder. Interesting production. I wish that Schubert had lived at least 3 times as many years as he did.

How much Schubert have you two heard Bostridge sing? He is absolutely one of the best. "Crooning" simply means softy singing. The songs featured on this video happen to be quite, reflective and haunting pieces. Listen to his recordings singing "Die Schone Mullerin" & "Die Winterreise." Incredible character and images coming alive.
Schubert's intimacy is unrivaled, and only certain pianists and vocalists can attain this. Bostridge definitely is one of them.
