En bild av skönhet och behag / Dies Bildnis

Josef Köstlinger sings Tamino's aria in Ingmar Bergman's 1975 film

For domramalaja :)

En bild av skönhet och behag med himmelskt underbara drag! Jag känner, hur den fyllt mig här med hjärtats längtan och begär. Jag vet ej ved det är jag känner men hjärtat känns som eld som bränner. Kan detta vara kärleksglöd? Ja, ja, min kärleks överflöd! Jag frågar mig var hon kan finnas! Jag spörjer mig hur hon kan vinnas! Jag ville att min dröm slog in. Vad ville jag? O, att hon kom mig till mötes. O, att hon snart i mina armar slötes! Jag ville att hon vore min!

nice voice, I assume a singer is young and will get even better with time.

[scordeteyla]

he was 29 at the time, but now he's 62^^

good German=), I am not much older right now,

my students might benefit if they watch this video here in US. It's pretty hard to find someone who speaks a good German here.

[scordeteyla]

that's true, it's swedish and not german; that guy here, in fact, is austrian though :)

*Sigh* This is my very favorite - an aria to make one swoon!

[sebreathnach]

A bit dark (morke?), but extraordinarily good. Tak for i alt!

Thank you for the upload!! I grew up with this, and it's what made me love and start my opera education :)

@AmusedChild *and prematurely ejaculate :) this aria brings back the best of memories amongst the worst...Die Zauberflöte is heaven in the flesh.

[SatanAteMySocks]

Well, it's swedish. ;-)

Well, he returned to Salzburg (as far as I know, even Bergman regarded that as a huge mistake) and kept on singing at the Salzburger Landestheater... I remember fx seeing him as the witch in "Hänsel und Gretel" when I was three and as Basilio in "Figaro". I think he also did Turandot's father.

He was/is(?) married to a Swedish woman and their daughter Maria Köstlinger is a well-known actress in Austria. She is married to the famous Austrian actor Karl-Heinz Hackl.
