    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.

    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...

    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

    Danke, danke, Thomas Quasthoff. Plötzlich saßest du im Taxi und ich konnte nur noch meine große Bewunderung für deine Kunst kundtun. War echt nervös- Zumal ich genau dieses hier meinen Kindern immer spielen musste. Klavier und Gesang gleichzeitig. Bassbariton rulezz!

    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!

    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.

      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?

    • @barbaratrehy4742

      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?

    Good grief! !! I listened 8 months ago and was impressed. But this really is something else. Schubert had a profound feeling with Winterreise and this interpretation is a straight line back to Schubert. On a more prosaic note I liked the visuals. Barenboim does not do the flouncing that is endemic today and Quasthoff's face is the absolute perfection of expressiveness. Thank you to Kees (for uploading this gem), Schubert (of course) and Barenboim and Quasthoff for truly understanding the tragedy.

    I had the great pleasure many years ago of singing in the choir of the St. Matthew Passion in Salamance, where Thomas Quasthoff sang solo. What a great talent, what a great interpretation here of a great song by Schubert.

    Ich habe selten erlebt, dass ein Text von solcher Einfachheit so viel ausdrücken kann, aber darin liegt wohl das Geheimnis. Eine derartige Hoffnungslosigkeit und Melancholie, untermalt von dem hervorragendem Gesang, habe ich so noch nie verspürt. Einfach klasse.

    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.
