  • ...perfekte Stimmführung!

  • Thank you so much for this - I heard it many years ago and it is so good to hear it again. Siggy was so wonderful live - yes too open and technically flawed sometimes but that timbre remains one of the most appealing in that repertoire in the post-war period. Not as naturally gifted as Wunderlich or as 'clever' as Windgassen, but terrific all the same. I recommend his Tamino with Haitink.

  • this is AMAZING!

  • @Leonora48

    Danke shoen.

  • thanks to Leonora for the German lyrics, I'll get to work with my dictionary and translate. I get the general gist but that's not good enough!

  • O Freund, ich werde sie nicht wiedersehn. Ein Traum hat mir den Traum zerstört, ein Traum der bittren Wirklichkeit den Traum der Phantasie. Die Toten schicken solche Träume, wenn wir zu viel mit und in ihnen leben. Wie weit soll unsre Trauer gehn, wie weit darf sie es, ohn’ uns zu entwurzeln? Schmerzlicher Zwiespalt des Gefühls! . . . Glück das mir verblieb’, lebe wohl mein treues Lieb Leben trennt vom Tod, grausam Machtgebot, Harre mein in lichter Höhn, hier gibt es kein Auferstehn.

  • Beautiful

  • Can anyone please give me the lyrics, either in German or English?

    It's so beautiful. Thanks.

  • @castodivo Listen to his Strauss Orchestral Songs, and you'll change your mind.

  • Yes, Pavarotti sang in bel canto style, Germanic harsh to ear in few ways....

  • OMG, how can you even try to compare Jerusalem, Seiffert, Schock with Pavarotti - they have totally different voice from Pavarotti. Let beside he's Italian and they are not, but they were/are into germanic repertoire and he was never... They were all very good tenors (all 4 I mean), but I different roles...

  • Thats your opinion... I love that voice; better than Pavarottis goat-voice and vibrato. Peter Seiffert and Rudolf Schock for me are the greatest tenors...
