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!
I've listened to German Lieder for 50 years---and loved it above all other art forms. Lots of recordings of this on youtube---IMO THIS is the best interpretation---and a wonderful voice. LOVE IT!
Has there ever been a finer interpretation? All the sentiment needed, but no sentimentality. Quasthoff's low notes are things of the utmost beauty. A fine pianist too. Many thanks to er38 particularly since Quasthoff has now retired.
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 bess’res Ich!
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!
To think that we might have missed out on Thomas Quasthoff's presence and musical gift to this world because someone once thought he should be thrown in the trash. Grateful that God had another plan in mind.
Sir! You are blessed with a special voice. It takes a lot to move me. But you do. I have listened to a whole lot of more famous male singers than you in my life, but, given the choice, I'd opt for you. I don't know how you do it. There seems to be a combination of masculinity and sensitivity which touches the heart. I'd guess you were born with this gift.
1 Widmung 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 besser Ich! (Friedrich Rückert 1788 - 1866)
I actually prefer this take than the one used on his ‘A Romantic Songbook’ album. Differences are subtle but here he gives it a bit more passion and rolls his R’s. The album version is softened slightly and no rolled R’s. I believe it’s all from the same session.
@liedersanger1 - this song is available in the CD "Thomas Quasthoff, a Romantic Songbook" , released by Deutsche Grammophon in 2004 (or 2001, I'm not sure)
If I feel like crying - which I often do - I just watch this. Touching. One feels privileged to inhabit the same planet as this great artist.
This singer is unbelievable.
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!
Eine der besten Versionen!! Quasthoff top!!
Wow! So much love and respect to him! He has the most amazing voice! I hope he’s living his best life! Good on him!
True!
Such a wonderfully controlled, rich, and profound voice that moves me deeply! Thank you for this beautiful share.
Thank you!
Du bist der Frieden... 🙏🌷👏

Yes, and his name is Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
0:59 low notes, huh?

Thanks for your kind comment, dear Robert!
He understands Schumann.

wow..
Пошутила природа. Такой голос!
bravísimo
What year was this recording please?
@liedersanger1 - this song is available in the CD "Thomas Quasthoff, a Romantic Songbook" , released by Deutsche Grammophon in 2004 (or 2001, I'm not sure)
A lovely 'intimate' rendering of this song, no histrionics thank heaven.
please put more of thomas q on youtube, do you have his version of Danny Boy?
No, unfortunatelly I don't have...

Strange he declined to memorize the ‘Dichterliebe’. Child’s play next to ‘Winterreise’. He is also decidedly not in good voice here.
This one's from "Myrthen" though, not "Dichterliebe"
@@DameMitHermelin Curious mistake on my part. Maybe because I always sang it as the first encore after ‘Dichterliebe’. Thanks.
vocalità poco professionale priva di bellezza artistica e poesia .
non mi piace affatto .
