  • It is a three-way conversation - The father, the child and the Erlkonig :) and the narrator has separate voice too.

  • Beautiful video, beautiful pictures. Thank you.

  • I thought that there has to only be one singer who sings all the parts? But a very good job done. Thanks for subbing the English translation.

    Poor child. RIP.

  • An example of a musical conversation gone tragically wrong (if only the father had taken the child seriously . . .(?)) . Despite the changes in pitch and the traspositions, I like this version because it emphasizes the multiple lyric personae involved in this narrated two-way conversation (or is it three-way)?
