great poem. Good translation, too, allthough there is one thing I think they missed, and that is translating the only rhyme there is in the German version: "der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland sein Auge ist blau er trifft dich mit bleierner Kugel er trifft dich genau" I think that Celan related that part to his mother's death by a bullet, and they missed that rhyme in this english verion.
Good translation and reading! However, I don't understand the reason why keeping Deutschland, which could be perfectly translated into "Germany". Furthermore, according to the original version, I don't think it is correctly translated "we are digging a grave in the sky" as it should be "...in the air" and "you'll have a grave in the sky" it should be "you'll have a grave in the clouds".

Powerful reading! The crescendo at certain spots fit well.
Paul Celan so fantastic

Love the voice of reading very much

Don't care for the translation and the version. Don't care for the reading.
terrible reading. You can't read a Celan poem like it's the lyrics of a Johnny Cash song
