      You can see the position of his ears change, too, when he changes voices, presumably because that changes the shape of the oral cavity and thus the timbre of the voice.

      @@LaurasLastDitch I think his ears probably move because of his facial expressions. He doesn't use that to change how he sings. But changing his expressions allows him to take the voice of the character. It's why voice actors are also facially acting while recording. It's a billion times easier to sound creepy if you become the creepy character. Trying for example to do a convincing scream while having no facial expressions is practically impossible. But his acting is definitely on point. He totally embodies the characters and it adds everything to the performance while allowing him to modify his voice to fit exactly what he wants it to do. He's truly amazing!

    He does each part so strongly. The child literally sound terrified and in pain at some points. The father sounds like some big burly guy, and the Erlking is just downright creepy.And the running horse in the piano accompianment just adds to the whole effect of fear in the piece.Brilliantly executed by an amazing baritone.

      The piano was played by the inimitable Gerald Moore - possibly the greatest lieder accompanist of all. (He was the regular partner of Fischer-Dieskau, Schwarzkopf, de los Angeles, Elisabeth Schumann, and instrumentally, Pablo Casals… Not a bad line-up!)

    what makes this so distinctive is NOT the facial expressions, but the various vocal "tenors" that dfd expresses between Goethe's 4 characters: The narrator, son, father..and obviously...Erlking himself.

      it is indeed a disturbing poem. The poem was by Goethe and other than the music, it had no connection directly to Schubert. But it is very easy, when one knows about Schubert's history, to guess what the poem meant to him, what the world of the Erlkönig was, that it was killing him, and he knew that it was.

    Who rides, so late, through night and wind?
    It is the father with his child.
    He has the boy well in his arm
    He holds him safely, he keeps him warm.
    "My son, why do you hide your face so anxiously?"
    "Father, do you not see the Elfking?
    The Elfking with crown and tail?"
    "My son, it's a wisp of fog."
    "You dear child, come, go with me!
    Very lovely games I'll play with you;
    Some colourful flowers are on the beach,
    My mother has some golden robes."
    "My father, my father, and don't you hear
    What the Elfking quietly promises me?"
    "Be calm, stay calm, my child;
    The wind is rustling through withered leaves."
    "Do you want to come with me, pretty boy?
    My daughters shall wait on you finely;
    My daughters will lead the nightly dance,
    And rock and dance and sing you to sleep."
    "My father, my father, and don't you see there
    The Elfking's daughters in the gloomy place?"
    "My son, my son, I see it clearly:
    There shimmer the old willows so grey."
    "I love you, your beautiful form entices me;
    And if you're not willing, then I will use force."
    "My father, my father, he's grabbing me now!
    The Elfking has done me harm!"
    It horrifies the father; he swiftly rides on,
    He holds the moaning child in his arms,
    Reaches the farm with trouble and hardship;
    In his arms, the child was dead.

While there are many great Baritones and pianists, it was the combined artistry of these two which was miraculous and without peer.

    Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
    Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
    Er fasst ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.
    Name:
    Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht? - Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?
    Den Erlkönig mit Kron’ und Schweif? -
    Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif. -
    „Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir!
    Gar schöne Spiele spiel’ ich mit dir;
    Manch’ bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand, Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand.“ -
    Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht, Was Erlkönig mir leise verspricht? -
    Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind;
    In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind. -
    „Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn?
    Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön; Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein.“ -
    Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort? -
    Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh’ es genau:
    Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau. -
    „Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt; Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch’ ich Gewalt.“ - Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an! Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan! -
    Dem Vater grauset’s; er reitet geschwind, Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind, Erreicht den Hof mit Mühe und Not;
    In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.

      @joshuafurtado-mendes9327 4 роки тому +12

      Emily La Erlkönig was original written for Tenor. The original key is G minor (a tone higher than performed here) and very much in the Tenor register. Schubert’s genius is how he writes it so perfectly for the male voice and therefore the piece can be transposed to any key and still make sense in terms of register change for any male voice type.

    • @matthewhammans4365
      @matthewhammans4365 4 роки тому +5

      Joshua Furtado-Mendes the highest note in the original key is a G4, which is well within reach for a good baritone. It is definitely written for a baritone, to have the richness down lower as a tenor would likely struggle to have the warmth lower down for the father’s part

    • @joshuafurtado-mendes9327
      @joshuafurtado-mendes9327 4 роки тому

      Matthew Hammans I completely see your point and you’re right a G4 within reach of a good baritone. To be honest it doesn’t really matter what voice sings it such is the genius of Schubert’s vocal writing. The song in the original key is perfect for a dramatic tenor or a lyric baritone. Schubert never specified which voice he was writing for on the score. It simply says ‘Hohe Stimme’ which means high voice but I don’t know if that’s an addition of publishers or if he actually wrote that. To find out which voice he intended the song for we would have to look at who was the first to perform it.

      @@joshuafurtado-mendes9327 Well, one could deem "high voice" a synonym to tenor (for males, obviously), but why didn't he (if it was him) just write "tenor" if he meant that? I think it could well have meant "any type of fairly high, at least higher-than-average, male voice, which includes all species of tenor, some of barytone and the transitional forms". There are voices with an inky baritonal timbre and a baritonal middle range, definitively no true tenors, but these barytone voices can still be called high. Because they have a virtually tenor range. An A2 - A4 range can, as such, belong to a tenor and a baritone alike. Summarized, the "Hohe Stimme" could have meant "tenors and higher-than-average baritones", I think it's the best explanation.

    We don't see the accompanist (or "collaborative artist" as is sometimes said nowadays) until the end, but when we do, we see that it is the incomparable Gerald Moore. It is a shame that most of the focus in these comments is completely on Fischer Dieskau. He is marvellous, but his singing would be nothing without Moore's equally marvellous evocation of the dark and sinister atmosphere of the poem in his magnificent playing. Any students interested in his thoughts on playing this song should try and get hold of a copy of his book "Singer and Accompanist" (probably out of print, but probably obtainable) in which he gives some nice "cheats" for sustaining those punishing right-hand octaves!

    English, Poetic Version
    Who rides there so late through the night dark and drear?
    The father it is, with his infant so dear;
    He holdeth the boy tightly clasp'd in his arm,
    He holdeth him safely, he keepeth him warm.
    My son, wherefore seek'st thou thy face thus to hide? -
    Look, father, the Erl-King is close by our side!
    Dost see not the Erl-King, with crown and with train? -
    My son, 'tis the mist rising over the plain. -
    "Oh, come, thou dear infant! oh come thou with me!
    For many a game I will play there with thee;
    On my strand, lovely flowers their blossoms unfold,
    My mother shall grace thee with garments of gold." -
    My father, my father, and dost thou not hear
    The words that the Erl-King now breathes in mine ear? -
    Be calm, dearest child, 'tis thy fancy deceives;
    'Tis the sad wind that sighs through the withering leaves. -
    "Wilt go, then, dear infant, wilt go with me there?
    My daughters shall tend thee with sisterly care;
    My daughters by night their glad festival keep,
    They'll dance thee, and rock thee, and sing thee to sleep." -
    My father, my father, and dost thou not see,
    How the Erl-King his daughters has brought here for me? -
    My darling, my darling, I see it aright,
    'Tis the aged grey willows deceiving thy sight. -
    "I love thee, I'm charm'd by thy beauty, dear boy!
    And if thou'rt unwilling, then force I'll employ." -
    My father, my father, he seizes me fast,
    For sorely the Erl-King has hurt me at last. -
    The father now gallops, with terror half wild,
    He grasps in his arms the poor shuddering child;
    He reaches his courtyard with toil and with dread, -
    The child in his arms finds he motionless, dead.

    Father, do you not see the Erl-King?
    The Erl-King with crown and cape?
    My son, it is a streak of fog.
    "You dear child, come, go with me!
    (Very) beautiful games, I play with you;
    Many colourful flowers are on the beach,
    My mother has many a golden robe."
    My father, my father, and do you not hear
    What the Erl-King quietly promises me?
    Be calm, stay calm, my child;
    Through dry leaves, the wind is sighing.
    "Do you, fine boy, want to go with me?
    My daughters shall wait on you finely;
    My daughters lead the nightly dance,
    And rock and dance and sing to bring you in."
    My father, my father, and don't you see there
    The Erl-King's daughters in the gloomy place?
    My son, my son, I see it clearly:
    There shimmer the old willows so grey.
    "I love you, your beautiful form excites me;
    And if you're not willing, then I will use force."
    My father, my father, he's touching me now!
    The Erl-King has done me harm!
    It horrifies the father; he swiftly rides on,
    He holds the moaning child in his arms,
    Reaches the farm with great difficulty;
    In his arms, the child was dead.

    I don't know why people are so determined to take a good piece of fantasy horror and recast it with the significantly more boring context of being a sick kid being taken to medical help and then dying along the way.
    There are like three thousand horror movies where creepy dolls come to life or supernatural hotel rooms make people commit suicide or what have you, and I don't think I ever have seen people going on about how REALLY the child is actually hallucinating creepy dolls moving because they accidentally ate mushrooms or have a fever of 105 degrees and how that's what's really happening in the horror movie. It's a horror movie -- the audience isn't expected to believe that creepy dolls that move exist, but they went to see the movie to have an hour or two where they could temporarily forget that creepy supernaturally animated dolls aren't actually real. The Erlkönig was basically a local equivalent of creepy doll movies.
    The whole point of this story, like any good horror movie, is that at first you (and the father) think everything is fine, and then it increasingly isn't, just like any horror movie structure. As Sideway's fascinating exposition of the musical setting brings out (in the video 'The Song that Changed my Life'), the Father's parts start in major key, because at first he's just telling his kid that of course everything is ok, then later his part shifts to minor key as the father starts to get freaked out. If the kid was dying of a fever, the dad would start the song freaked out, rather than calmly reassuring, as he does in his first 'it's a streak of fog' verse.
    My opinion, anyway.

    I am currently teaching a piano student "The Wild Rider" and am using this song as inspiration for her to depict the piece. Dietrich was the master of German Lieder and his book of translations (almost literal) is a must for any singer or teacher. Thank you for your great talent and the painstaking work you did to bring it to the world Dietrich. R.I.P.

    In German:
    Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
    Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
    Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
    Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.
    Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht? -
    Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?
    Den Erlenkönig mit Kron und Schweif? -
    Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif. -
    "Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir!
    Gar schöne Spiele spiel ich mit dir;
    Manch bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand,
    Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand."
    Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht,
    Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht? -
    Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind;
    In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind. -
    "Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn?
    Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön;
    Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn,
    Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein."
    Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort
    Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort? -
    Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh es genau:
    Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau. -
    "Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt;
    Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch ich Gewalt."
    Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an!
    Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan! -
    Dem Vater grausets, er reitet geschwind,
    Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
    Erreicht den Hof mit Mühe und Not;
    In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.

    Who rides so lately through night and wind?1
    It's the father with his child;
    He's got the boy in his arm,
    He holds him safely, he keeps him warm.
    "My son, why do you hide your face so anxiously?"
    "Don't you see the Erlking, father?
    The Erlking with crown and coat?"1
    "My son, it's a streak of fog."
    "You lovely child, come, come with me!
    I'll play oh so beautiful games with you;
    There are a couple of colorful flowers near the shore,
    My mother has a couple of golden robes."
    "My father, my father, and don't you hear,
    What the Erlking promises silently?"
    "Be quiet, stay calm, my child;
    The wind rustles through withered leaves."
    "Do you, good boy, want to come with me?
    My daughters shall take care of you nicely;
    My daughters lead the nightly dance,
    And lull and dance and sing you to sleep."
    "My father, my father, and don't you see there
    Erlking's daughters at the gloomy place?"
    "My son, my son, I see it clearly:
    It seems to be the old grey willows."
    "I love you, I'm fascinated by your beautiful form;
    And if you're not willing, I'll have to use force."
    "My father, my father, now he is grabbing me!
    Erlking has hurt me!"
    The father shudders, he rides swiftly,
    He holds the groaning child in his arms,
    Reaches his home with effort and distress;
    In his arms the Child was dead.

    Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, the 20th century's ultimate authority on Schubert's lied, and the most recorded man ever. i've often thought that this song would be perfect for translation to Heavy Metal both in terms of subject matter and that bass riff! Matter of fact, my senior recital was held up due to my trying to do exactly that, but having a hard time finding Metalheads that could (or would- they're not renowned for reading music and not flexible enough to try when confronted with it) play it. I finally settled for doing Winterreise in its entirety instead (Without the metal band)..

      And then, just like that, watching this anime, the song came back to me... it was like, 'OMG, THIS IS IT!!'. Never thought I would get the chance to recover it, from some anime XD gotta thank Sakamoto for that...

    Since noone seems to have posted it here is the Edgar Alfred Bowring translation which stays poetic post-translation
    -------
    Who rides there so late through the night dark and drear?
    The father it is, with his infant so dear;
    He holdeth the boy tightly clasp'd in his arm,
    He holdeth him safely, he keepeth him warm.
    "My son, wherefore seek'st thou thy face thus to hide?"
    "Look, father, the Erl-King is close by our side!
    Dost see not the Erl-King, with crown and with train?"
    "My son, 'tis the mist rising over the plain."
    "Oh, come, thou dear infant! oh come thou with me!
    For many a game I will play there with thee;
    On my strand, lovely flowers their blossoms unfold,
    My mother shall grace thee with garments of gold."
    "My father, my father, and dost thou not hear
    The words that the Erl-King now breathes in mine ear?"
    "Be calm, dearest child, 'tis thy fancy deceives;
    'Tis the sad wind that sighs through the withering leaves."
    "Wilt go, then, dear infant, wilt go with me there?
    My daughters shall tend thee with sisterly care;
    My daughters by night their glad festival keep,
    They'll dance thee, and rock thee, and sing thee to sleep."
    "My father, my father, and dost thou not see,
    How the Erl-King his daughters has brought here for me?"
    "My darling, my darling, I see it aright,
    'Tis the aged grey willows deceiving thy sight."
    "I love thee, I'm charm'd by thy beauty, dear boy!
    And if thou'rt unwilling, then force I'll employ."
    "My father, my father, he seizes me fast,
    For sorely the Erl-King has hurt me at last."
    The father now gallops, with terror half wild,
    He grasps in his arms the poor shuddering child;
    He reaches his courtyard with toil and with dread, -
    The child in his arms finds he motionless, dead.

      It is very archaic but I think it makes a good compromise between readability, accuracy, and prosody
