“You my soul, you my heart,
you my bliss, o you my pain,
you the world in which I live,
you my heaven, in which I float,
o you my grave, into which
I eternally cast my grief.
You are rest, you are peace,
you are bestowed upon me from heaven.
That you love me makes me worthy of you;
your gaze transfigures me;
you raise me lovingly above myself,
my good spirit, my better self!”
I never get bored with his voice. Every day I'm listening to his songs for more than 25 years. Still listening.
How you could say "No" when your fiancee serenade you with this song? It is truly gorgeous, so expressive song with depth emotional and rich tones. Love it! I could imagine how Clara is truly infatuated by Robert Schumann.
I think he was one of the few singers who could sing anything, from Minnesang to opera buffa - what a wonderful and expressive singer, what gracious musicality he possessed...
Totally Agree!
He was so beautiful, with that Puckish smile, those sparkling eyes, and his wonderful performing on stage--not just vocally. Loved him and love him still.
Impossible de résister à un tel charme : magnificience de la voix, présence scénique rayonnante, musicalité hors- pair... tout y est!
THIS is the interpretation of "Widmung" I needed to hear. I actually heard Robert's voice speaking to Clara with ardent, intimate love. Ruckert's lyric poetry shines through to its fullest intent, with sincere passion, without a trace of "supplemental" histrionics. I'm thankful that we have Hermann Prey's artistry on which to look back, and better understand the Art of German Lieder.
This is lovely in every respect, but I really think Thomas Quasthoff has the better interpretation.
I’ve been looking for a less bombastic version of this. Found it….absolutely divine❣️
A most pleasing rendition of this beautiful song: of other magnificent performances, that of Kathleen Ferrier is one of my favourites.
Du meine Seele, du mein Herz,
Du meine Wonn’, O du mein Schmerz,
Du meine Welt, in der ich lebe,
Mein Himmel du, darein ich schwebe,
O du mein Grab, in das hinab
Ich ewig meinen Kummer gab.
Du bist die Ruh, du bist der Frieden,
Du bist vom Himmel mir beschieden.
Daß du mich liebst, macht mich mir wert,
Dein Blick hat mich vor mir verklärt,
Du hebst mich liebend über mich,
Mein guter Geist, mein beßres Ich!
Thx
Thankyou.
Two masters of their crafts, and both very gentlemanly as well. A wonderful performance, indeed.
First praise goes to Schumann
Absolutely!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, by the most beautiful lied duo ever. God, how I miss Hokie.
Gorgeous voice and musicality put at the service of the music and text. A great , but humble human being. The incomparable Hermann Prey.
I am reading his autobiography "First Night Fever" gives a real flavour of the man... both he and Fischer-Dieskau were joyous human beings with that touch of God given electricity!
He was SO young here! RIP Herman Prey whose birthday anniversary is today.
This was poetic. A two line rhyme ❤
This is in my opinion one of the best lieder composed in romantic period.
Indeed. (*Lieder)
Singers with voices as rich as this are rarely successful with lieder but Prey manages to "read the text" on the music with great sincerity and conviction. Subtle and effective gradations of tone within a well-sustained overall mood.
Prey and Fischer-Dieskau are towering giants compared with anything since or around now. Whether they would have thrived in today's digital depleted music industry is another question.
Beautifully sung by a great artist
Hermann Prey's all Schubert concerts at 92nd St. Y - unforgettable
Wonderful singing, an excellent accompaniment, and (an added value) a frank and winning gaze and smile from Hermann Prey throughout. A delight!
Herrlich singt er wirklich.Es macht mir immer wieder Freude,ihn zu hören.Danke,fürs Reinsetzen.Danke, Hermann Prey !!!
What a voice. One of the greats. Thank you for this recording of one of my favourite pieces.
Absolutely wonderful! And for a baritone to sing this in the tenor/soprano key... wow!
What a beautiful performance! Thank you for sharing this.
You my soul, you my heart,
You my rapture, O you my pain,
You my world in which I live,
My heaven you, to which I aspire,
O you my grave, into which
My grief forever I’ve consigned!
You are repose, you are peace,
You are bestowed on me from heaven.
Your love for me gives me my worth,
Your eyes transfigure me in mine,
You raise me lovingly above myself,
My guardian angel, my better self!
Translations by Richard Stokes, author of The Book of Lieder (Faber, 2005)
This is just so human.
Oh ! yes ! How much I agree with you!

this was the comment I've been looking for
What a beautiful voice and what sincere expression -- this is the perfect "Widmung" from the perfect lieder-singer. He was the complete package: golden voice, superb musicianship, unassuming performing style, and he looks like he could have been Ewan McGregor's father (that's a compliment).
Yes, he does. I was wondering who he made me think of.
beautiful
We live in a world where Florian Prey is worried that his Dad will be forgotten! That will be impossible while I draw even one last breath!
It's a joy to watch him sing.
Sehr gut gesungen❤,danke janny der niederlande,
So beautiful.... wonderful....
Simply fabulous. Marvelous range and articulation.
This is one of my favourite videos on youtube
He always sings leider with perfection and depth of meaning and spirit intended by Schubert in all
Most baritones would take Schumann's "Widmung" down one or two semitones. Prey sings this song, beautifully and with enormous sensitivity to the text, in the original, high key of A-flat major. And to think that he excelled as the Mozart Figaro, a role with much of the bass in it, as well as Beckmesser, Wagner's highest baritone part.
I agree with you: " Enormous sensitivity to the text"
Remarkable technique, this is truly a fabulous singing lesson.
Wunderbar, so emphatisch, so entspannt, so natürlich und so kunstvoll, einfach großartig! Wo gibt es das noch......
So fantastisch so perfekt kann es nur Hermann Prey singen!
Un des plus grands, assurément !
One of the greatest!
Ganz sicher einer der größten!
DIVINE "Widmung"
Ach wie herrlich!
Wunderschön!
Wunderbar!
Beautiful! This performance gave me shivers!
Beautiful.
Wunderbar gesungen.
Les personnes qui ne l'aiment pas, essayez donc d'en faire autant, après on en reparlera. En général ce sont des jaloux de ce magnifique artiste!
A great lieder singer. He also was a very good Beckmesser in a Die Meistersinger Bayreuth.
Watching this again after two years and I still feel the sincerity in his eyes. This is the best version for me😍😍
Beautiful interpretation and voice!
Thank you for posting this.
I consistently prefer Prey to his better known contemporary German baritone colleague.
As do I.
So do I !!!
Indeed!
Me too, and yet his better known contemporary German baritone colleague wasn't half bad either! But I particularly agree on this regarding Widmung.
As do I.
The best German baritone
and Dieskau!
Ja er ist der Beste!
Don’t forget Metternich, but Prey definitely had the most beautiful and touching German baritone voice, no doubt at all. What an artist! Unforgettable!
great for solo pianists to hear learning the Liszt transcription. Love Hermann Prey.
Du meine Seele, du mein Herz,
Tú, alma mía. Tú, corazón mío,
Du meine Wonn’, O du mein Schmerz,
Tú mi dicha, oh tú mi dolor
Du meine Welt, in der ich lebe,
Eres mi mundo en el que vivo
Mein Himmel du, darein ich schwebe,
Mi cielo tu, en el que floto
O du mein Grab, in das hinab
Oh tu mi tumba, baja a eso
Ich ewig meinen Kummer gab.
Di mis dolores para siempre.

Du bist die Ruh, du bist der Frieden,
Eres el resto, eres la paz
Du bist vom Himmel mir beschieden.
Eres del cielo para mí.
Daß du mich liebst, macht mich mir wert,
Que me ames me hace digno de mi
Dein Blick hat mich vor mir verklärt,
Tu mirada me ha transfigurado ante mi
Du hebst mich liebend über mich,
Me amas por encima de mi
Mein guter Geist, mein beßres Ich!
¡Mi buen espíritu, mi mejor yo!

Such singing, such a song, such music. Nun lass mich sterben.
wonderful!
Preciosa voz, intensa, profunda y dulce a la vez.
Hermann Prey was one of the best singers of Lieders, beautiful rendition of Widmung.
Just starting to learn this song. This is definitely my reference video.
me too haha how was it?
magistral
thanks from Colombia
Prey and Hokanson, two masters! People should listen to their recordings more than they actually do. These two performers where somehow "overshadowed" by other musical couples that were also excellent but not so fresh and genuine as they were. Well, this is just my opinion.
I don't know what makes me weep- his singing or the fact that Schumann wrote it when he already knew Clara isn't for him.
Magic 📣📣📣📣
bravissimo!!!!
I love lieder!!!
Naturally musical.
No wonder, that his marriage was so happy. Which woman could resists this!
I agree with you !
I totally agree!
How handsome he was!! And so expressive!!
I'm a man and I wouldn't resist as well!
Lmao I thought u meant Schumann for a min
Обожаю!!
Anbetungswürdig❤
oh my role model ♥
The video is quite helpful because the open and closed vowels are quite clear when we can see as well as hear.
True, you will rarely ever find a singer with better diction than Hermann Prey
Beautiful! Tears to my eyes!
Good for my vocal lit class to hear
Bravo
@pianomags BEAUTIFUL
Ive never heard such a clear male voice without any of the funny voice noises I always seem to hear from baritones and tenors ! I must find translation of this song which I only knew from Cliburn playing the Liszt arrangement !
the description has one. here is another:
You my soul, you my heart,
You my rapture, O you my pain,
You my world in which I live,
My heaven you, to which I aspire,
O you my grave, into which
My grief forever I’ve consigned!
You are repose, you are peace,
You are bestowed on me from heaven.
Your love for me gives me my worth,
Your eyes transfigure me in mine,
You raise me lovingly above myself,
My guardian angel, my better self!
You my soul, you my heart,
You my rapture, O you my pain,
You my world in which I live,
My heaven you, to which I aspire,
My guardian angel, my better self!
English Translation (by Richard Stokes, author of The Book of Lieder (Faber, 2005))
interestingly he sings "Bild" instead of "Blick" in the line "Your eyes transfigure me in mine,". It changes "eyes" to something like picture or likeness. maybe it is easier to sing or he had someone in mind that died or he could not reach.
❤️
🔥
He just sails over thoes high F#s. Wish I could do it like that.....
👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
My ex sang this...God I miss him. So much.
This is my solo for a singing festival and I'm having so much trouble memorizing the german
joya total
such sad eyes! hehe he's a cutie
😘😘
Despite the fact that the man's passed, still not a nice thing to say. A lot of people have already found his voice beautiful. ...SopranoSuperb? :S
His autobiography "First Night Fever" is readable and interesting.
I think Fischer-Dieskau 's DG recording from 1966 with Jorg Demus is the absolute tops (available on CD in the Fischer-Dieskau Edition) more youthful and natural than his 1970s with Eschenbach, I admire Hermann Prey so much here. Can I also say.... Germans only should sing this song!
Excellent!
Hola.
¿Podrían recomendarme temas de "Declaración de Amor Trascendental" en distintos idiomas y géneros?.
Gracias.
Du bist wie eine Blume de Schumann
göttlich
sweet voice for schumann

Agree....although I'm hardly a world class singer. I have paying gigs but if singing was my day job I would be on food stamps!
Amazing ária
F# isn't an easy note for many baritones. I have them, but I have to work for em!
the tehnic, yea,it is hard
Sang this in college but not as well as him.
