I am human rights activist from Azerbaijan and I was 6 years in prison. When I was in prison I watched film "in Bruges". In this film I heard this song. And after prison, when I released firstly I searched "in Bruges" songs and soundtracks. And I found this fantastic voice. For fully feeling the film's and song's atmosphere I visited Bruges and I did walking tour in Bruges with listening this song. It was amazaing experience. I think in this song and voice you can find all of tragedies of Europe. Wars, holocausts, destroying of empires, occupations and others...
My teacher of Arabic is Palestinian, and he was a reporter there. He started reporting against the crimes commited by the Government and by Israel, and he was kidnapped, put in prison and tortured. He still bears the scars of the torture. It is absolutely horrible how people fighting for human rights suffer so much in so many countries. I wish there was a way to return those 6 years back to you or to rightfully compensate you for your suffering

Beautiful performance. Thomas Quasthoff, born in the late 1950's was one of the thousands of children born with birth defects in those countries where thalidomide which was prescribed to relieve symptoms of morning sickness in pregnant women. It is heart warming to see that even this adversity could not prevent the development and expression of his huge talent.
I'm just gonna say this to express how your voice affected me: I'm a Palestinian refugee and the first time I heard Mr. Quastoff was on the Israeli radio... simply, when I heard that on their radio I forgot everything about the war ... I started to forget that I have enemies... that's the real humanity... thanx to the real and beautiful humanitarian the great Thomas Quasthoff.. it sends chills down my body every time I hear his voice... 💚
In a 2003 interview Quasthoff expressed regret that the Israel palistinan conflict could not be resolved through COMPROMISE. Do you also feel that way?
Music only functions as a unifying force between people. It brings people together to focus on one thing, leaving their issues aside. I’m glad it could work in your life in that way.
@Susan Moran 🤣🤣🤣 What an empty gesture. Israel is an illegitimate state as well as a colonialist aparteid regime. I would suggest that if you wanted peace you would consider disavowing your Israeli citizenship as an association with a criminal organization.
My mother was the biggest fan of the "winterreise". She could not listen to it after her mother died. Now my dad and I cannot listen to it after my mother died. If I try, in particular the "leiermann", I cry. This is some of the most powerful music ever compoesed, and performed by two of the most amazing artists. Stop whatever you do. Listen. If you're not moved, you don't live.
Mon lied je l'approprie pour mon amour de la musique qui m'est un refuge dans un monde de brut, un chapeau beau pour Thomas Quasthoff et le magnifique pianiste On peut rêver, on peut y croire qu'un monde plein de merveilles peut exister, c'est immense ce que la musique peut offrir et nous sauver de la bêtise humaine
In English: There, behind the village, stands a hurdy-gurdy-man, And with numb fingers he plays the best he can. Barefoot on the ice, he staggers back and forth, And his little plate remains ever empty. No one wants to hear him, no one looks at him, And the hounds snarl at the old man. And he lets it all go by, everything as it will, He plays, and his hurdy-gurdy is never still. Strange old man, shall I go with you? Will you play your hurdy-gurdy to my songs
Without looking at the translation, this performance gave my hair a total standstill. Art cannot be explained, but when it works, it touches our heart deeply.
Лучшее исполнение. Мастерски и филигранно спето, интеллектуально и чувственно. Как нигде присутствуют и слышны лучшие моменты и наработки немецкой оперной школы. Браво.

What a magical performance! Like Russia, Germany produces great lower voices! I am strongly led o declare that Schubert was, for his too-short life, the greatest songwriter the world has ever known! Oh yes, there are, and have been, great songwriters, but for quality and NUMBER, Schubert stands alone!
He wouldn't even use the piano, just writing the notes like we write youtube comments, scribbling along... and then he wrote pieces like Erlkönig, Müllerin, Winterreise...
I arrived here in the most random way (first stop was "call the midwife"), and holy wow. Every sound/syllable/note coming out of his mouth is a revelation. So insanely beautiful.

It's December 2020 and all I want to do is walk off into the cold, alone, and never come back. Is it such weakness to not see the golden road? is it such a sin to understand that this world may not provide happiness? We persevere through faith and force of will to not go into that cold night, because so many before us continue on without doing such. Happy holidays everyone, stay safe.
I want to write something that completely encapsulates every thought and emotion I'm feeling, but I can't. All I can say is, his interpretation is so haunting and chills me to the bone. He transports me and I'm savoring the experience like a piece of fine chocolate that's slowly dissolving on my tongue.
After this incredible recording, I give thanks for UA-cam once again. This pair begins to rival Fischer-Dieskau and Moore.....what a privilege to see and hear this. Thank you.
Wenn Emotionen ausgedrückt werden, spiegeln sich nicht nur die Worte, sondern auch die Gefühle! 💔Es ist, als hätte er mir ein Stück meines Herzens genommen ...💫
This piece make to crash the heart. A sublime moment when music and soul trascend themselves, and make this work for the listener, a metaphysical experience.
+Nancy517 The Organ-Grinder Way behind the hamlet stands an organ man and with freezing fingers grinds the best he can. Barefoot on the snowbank swaying to and fro - and his little plate has ne'er a coin to show. No-one comes to listen, no-one comes to greet, and the dogs are growling at the old man's feet. And he lets it happen, lets it as it will - cranking - and his organ never staying still. Strangest of the Ancients, must I walk with you? Will you grind my Lieders on your organ, too?
So nice that people have responded with information about the song. The final heartrending detail is that this is the last song of the 24 song cycle "Winter's Journey", which tells the tale of a man, broken by the rejection of his beloved, who despairs and wanders out into the midwinter wilderness. This song obliquely relates the moment of his final demise. Was there really a hurdy-gurdy man? Or was it just his feverish last thoughts? Does it matter?
THE ORGAN GRINDER Yonder, past the village, stands the organ man, And, with stiff old fingers, cranks just as he can. Barefoot on the ice, he stumbles here and there, And his begging bowl remains forever bare. No one listens to him, no one looks at him, Only dogs are barking round the strange old man, And he lets it go, whichever way it will, Grinds, his organ never standing still. Strange mysterious old man, shall I come along? Will you grind your organ to my song?
Over the village there is a lyre man and with rigid fingers he does what he can. Barefoot on the ice, he staggers back and forth and his little plate always stays empty. Nobody likes to hear him, no one looks at him, and the dogs are growling around the old man. And he lets it go all the way it wants He turns and his lyre never stops. Whimsical age, should I go with you? Do you want to turn your lyre to my songs?
This is breathtakingly beautifully done. I am so moved by it I cannot find the words to express how I feel! Reading over the comments others have made, I realize I am not alone.
I relate to this song in ways I fear I shouldn't. When I was a kid, I knew well the songs of beggars grinding away at their guitars' strings as the winter cold set in. I was told to not even make eye contact with them by my parents. But then, when I started to run away from school, they were the among only people I could turn to and trust. And so I went with the strange old men, and to their songs I lived the darkest years of my life.

Quasthoff für mich immer noch mit Abstand der beste Schubert Sänger. In Kombination mit Barenboim einfach top. Ich bin Thomas Quasthoff vor 2 Monaten in Amsterdam Concertgebouw begegnet zur Masterclass. Super sympathischer Kerl
Bei der Interpretation der "Winterreise" schieben sich viele Sängerinnen und Sänger von Ton zu Ton und verbleiben im sängerischen Selbstgefallen. Thomas Quasthoff hingegen erzählt mit jedem Wort einen Geschichte, "malt" Bilder, packt und fesselt. Ein Meister!
Zusammen mit dem Windsbacher Knabenchor habe ich Thomas Quasthoff zum ersten Mal gehört. Seither gilt ihm mein Respekt, meine Achtung und Wertschätzung. Er berührt meine Seele wie Fritz Wunderlich, so der Vergleich überhaupt zulässig ist.
Fantasticly wonderful, tragic performance from the end song of Schubert's magnificent Winterreise! That song cycle is best ever written for piano and male voice on this earth. It can be performed well enough only by persons who have lived far enough or who have had big tragedy in their lives.
I have attended his concerts numerous times in New York and Salzburg, Austria, few times Claudio Abbado was the conductor, I was very fortunate to be able to hear him live, what a magnificent voice.
This is really wonderful. Thomas Quasthoff has such a superb quality voice and Daniel Barenboim accompanies so beautifully with deep understanding of the music.
Transzendent.....nicht mehr von dieser Welt ! Die weitaus beste Interpretation dieses Liedes, ich würde sagen....die einzig wahre ! Hochachtung für diese beiden großartigen Interpreten !
I honestly think that Quasthoff has fully understood the context of this sinister song, and he performs it so beautifully that I will never again be able to despise people socially rejected, living on the streets. Also, in some way, it makes me feel a strange longing for death...
Exacty! Imagine how hard you have to want to perform on a stage, with a body like Thomas has. How many people told him, that it is just not possible. He suffered for sure. And he overcame. Barfuss auf dem Eise, wankt er hin und her und sein kleiner Teller, bleibt ihm immer leer.

This has to be the most powerful performance this piece has ever had. I'm speechless. Like all great works of art, it speaks for itself
Greg Moberg You are entirely right.
When the right person speaks for itself!
Sorry, but no: old man Fischer-Dieskau is, simply spoken, the way this song is to be sung.
Fischer Dieskau. But this is great.
Hans Hotter/Gerald Moore remains, hands down, the best Winterreise I've heard. If you judge this better, we'll just have to disagree.
Am speechless. This is what happens when you put 2 ridiculously talented musicians together.

Mo, it is simply because music is the language that is understood by all people. It is something we all have in common.

and with freezing fingers
grinds the best he can.

and the dogs are growling
at the old man's feet.
And he lets it happen,
lets it as it will -
cranking - and his organ
never staying still.

Will you grind my Lieders

is he Death? in disguise?
Pretty sure this is exactly what Maestro Schubert was hearing as he wrote this. This is as good as it gets.

True, and I must say the same about your own rendition
I discovered this greatly talented singer in a collaboration he did with Bobby McFerrin....another phenomenal talent
Assolutamente degno di entrare nella schiera dei Grandi! Grazie!
I think Barenboim is the most expressive pianist I have ever heard. Great performance all round. Thanks.
Yes I agree with you and I think he is more genius as pianist than as orchestral director
I relate to this song in ways I fear I shouldn't.

But then, when I started to run away from school, they were the among only people I could turn to and trust. And so I went with the strange old men, and to their songs I lived the darkest years of my life.
Damn, both of them did an amazing job. Barenboim really accompanies the great singing with emotion and sensuality, it's incredible. The atmosphere...
Genies im Doppelpack - was für ein Wunder - welch ein Glück!
He has the must beautiful cheekbones and the most wonderful voice. I am in awe of his humanity. And let’s not forget Barenboim’s epic accompaniment.

Jack Relain I think thats the reason he can perform this song so perfectly,because he uses his inner sadness and pours it out in form of singing
It's the wandering lover singing about an old homeless man who plays the hurdy gurdy in the cold, and he relates to the loneliness they both feel.
Warm, complex and a perfect pairing of great artists❤️
