Franz Schubert, one of the miracles of the music history. I love Mozart but my god I think Schubert was equal the genius of Mozart, he really wrote songs like no one else, from everyday life, his lyrics are just second to none and his music is always hitting me right in the heart.
Oops. You’re a prat. Schubert didn’t have lyrics, he composed to the available poetic material. He was lucky, good poets were in abundance. They weren’t lyricists
God, such a beautiful low register. It's sad overall low notes are so underrated, for me personally it takes a lot more trouble to make those sound good than with high notes.
I fell in love with this piece when I first heard it in college. Surely Chopin must've heard it as I hear very similar themes with his funeral march and the intro to this.
@MrBerlino90 No, sorry, you're wrong - the original is with two equal in rights variants of the last note - high and octave low. The composer has left the choice which note to sing entirely to the singer. To sing the low note is just kind of tradition. In this case Luvig is so right- much more important is the overall expression, than just one single note, which, sung in a marginal register could sound strained and ugly.
Hobott yes it is a choice but just to allow more people to sing this song. Who has the low note will sing it. Ludwig is far from having it. Her voice ends higher.
Das Mädchen (The maiden): Vorüber! Ach, vorüber! Geh, wilder Knochenmann! Ich bin noch jung! Geh, Lieber, Und rühre mich nicht an. Und rühre mich nicht an. Der Tod (Death): Gib deine Hand, du schön und zart Gebild! Bin Freund, und komme nicht, zu strafen. Sei gutes Muts! ich bin nicht wild, Sollst sanft in meinen Armen schlafen!
This is wonderful, wonderful. But no low D. I felt deprived. Perhaps because I sort of grew up with Marian Anderson's version, with the final low D. Which is ... perfection.
Hat jemand die ungrammatische Form "gutes Muts" bemerkt?? So schreibt es Matthias Claudius, und viele singen es so, aber Fischer-Dieskau singt die richtige Adjektivform "guten Muts".
Blightyish Ich glaube, dass das dem Wandel deutscher Sprache geschuldet ist, aber selbst ich singe tief wie Fischer-Dieskau "guten Muts" mit. Gruß von Johanna, die stolz auf ihren Kontra-Alt ist und AC/DC und Schubert liebt.
Tatsächlich ist Claudius nicht ungrammatisch - wir haben nur vergessen, wie man Genitive bildet und gleichen das Adjektiv lieber an die schwachen Endungen an. Aber in manchen Wendungen lebt das Genitiv-s beim Adjektiv noch: "ich weiß keines Rats" z.B.
I think the only three singers to have recorded the low D are Schumann-Heink (better in 1903 than in 1919), Anderson and amazingly Crespin (watch the video). Elsewhere Crespin recorded a high Db, almost three octaves higher, giving her the widest range of any recorded singer that I could find. Matzenauer ranges from low F to high D on recordings and Schumann Heink from low D to high B, a whole tone less than Crespin.

Amazing, amazing. Such a fascinating interpretation - and then such a startling, disconcerting ending. Moore takes it SO slow ... and Christa Ludwig had an extraordinary, strong, interesting voice - quite a revelation here. And then! She's on that final stretch and suddenly she takes some unknown turning and ... the end is, truly, a damp squib. What a disappointment! Listen to Marian Anderson as an ... alternative, let us say. The final note is ... hmmm ... other-worldly.
jarabaa the singer actually didn’t sing it how it’s written at the end. The D at the end is actually written an octave lower than she sang it at. It’s amazing when a woman sings it as written.
@@JewelBlueIbanez The 'singer' as you call her is the great Christa Ludwig, one of the most famous and renowned singers of the last century. And the D3 is actually an alternate note to the D4 in Schubert's score. If the performer has the lower note, then he/she sings it, but the higher option is also acceptable.
I agree!! In America's Got Talent, they had this one singer, Lys Agnes, whom I believe is a contralto, who did a different version of Ave Maria. She hit some ridiculously low notes for a female!
Sorry but I don't like her interpretation of death. On the other hand, I believe one always love the interpretation the most that one is already familiar with ;)
+BLOP888 Wow, your profile picture... I live in that house and I am not kidding. I am sitting in the living room right now! And thank you for the amazing tip haha ;)
IM DYINGGGGGG I thought this was going to help me hear her clearly sound each note so I could practice along side her- (which I suppose it did) but I didn’t expect THAT 😂
Yes, I know why people listen to this Music...because it's beyond time...it's timeless in it's meaning, in it's depth and in it's powerful beauty....this is true Music, all that other stuff they call music these days has nothing to do with this...that's garbage compared to this here...That's what your school is trying to tell you I guess...
Jim van der Heijden Because some people, like me, are obsessed with death. Others might just think the music is beautiful, or find it exciting and interesting.
this piece is a work of absolute genius. I feel like you'd be better off trying to enjoy it rather than criticize it because it isn't from your time. (all hail schubert)
Because music reaches into the soul and stirs every emotion. Sometimes a song or piece like this touches emotions we find uncomfortable or sad. For some this is cathartic, for some it is beautiful in its sadness. Sometimes one has to be in the right frame of mind to appreciate different pieces of music. The words and the melody, along with the harmony in this song have to be taken together and the way the music brings out and complements the meaning behind the words is what makes this song the masterpiece it is.
uno strumento di natura poco bello . trovo poco convincente la vocalità della morte . la differenza tra le voci della ragazza e la morte dev'essere enorme ... deve ''colpire'' il cuore del pubblico ! interpretazione poco convincente . questa e' la mia modesta opinione .
Rest in Peace diva!

You’re right, but Schubert did not write the lyrics himself. He picked poems like in this case by Matthias Claudius
Oops. You’re a prat. Schubert didn’t have lyrics, he composed to the available poetic material. He was lucky, good poets were in abundance. They weren’t lyricists
And they were both taken from the world far too soon, just like the girl in the song
Thank you very much! 💐
I ❤️ Schubert!
Rest in Power Christa Ludwig
pianist is incredible
I'm singing this for auditions! I'm a very low alto, and I'm taking the low note at the end :) I get it out very clear too!
Here. Have a cookie. Good girl.
@@hugotipple🤡🤡
Yo igual!
@@hugotipple Here have nothing, its what you deserve.
How did it go?
Maravillosa.!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
excellent! I learned this song in voice class... I didn't appreciate it til now... i don't think any of us interpreted it so well.
This is simply stunning
God, such a beautiful low register. It's sad overall low notes are so underrated, for me personally it takes a lot more trouble to make those sound good than with high notes.
Rest In Peace dear lady ❤️
Just perfect ... and Gerald: no, you are not too loud! :-)
I fell in love with this piece when I first heard it in college. Surely Chopin must've heard it as I hear very similar themes with his funeral march and the intro to this.
Schubert based the introduction here on the funeral march in Beethoven's Piano Sonata 12.
RIP great one!
beautiful!!
Bellissimo!!!
Une vraie merveille !
RIP Christa Ludwig
beautiful
Dziękuję. SZACUNEK. ❤❤❤

Love that she use chest voice for the death.

Wunderbar!
Arte! Y cómo aguantó la última frase toda en un solo fiato!!!!!
This is more about a quality than about range or about hitting a note.
Such authority!
anyone know where i can get karaoke to this?
jessye norman also sang the low D.
btw, edda moser had a 3 octave range on record (low G from vitellia aria and high G from popoli di tessaglia)

Is this Gerald Moore? He was the founder of the art of accompaniment in the UK.
Noli me tangere
it's a pitty, she didn't sing the death's last tone downwards like it is in the original; but apart from that: really awesome!
My voice teacher gave me this song cause it ends on the low D, I was looking forward to hearing her sing it :(
+Kayla Clark JESSYE NORMANS Version
Regine Crespin !
I must admit, I wanted the lower register for that note. However, that aside, her intention still carried through totally.
@minnie888444 i don't believe the low D was only intended fo male singers.
Amazing, amazing. Such a fascinating interpretation - and then such a startling, disconcerting ending. Moore takes it SO slow ... and Christa Ludwig had an extraordinary, strong, interesting voice - quite a revelation here. And then!

It's better when the singer can hit the low note at the very end, rather than skipping up an octave. Few mezzos can. Really requires a contralto.
many mezzos and sopranos can reach that but it would be scratchy and to amplify it as loud as your other notes can be tricky
on IMSLP
I agree!! In America's Got Talent, they had this one singer, Lys Agnes, whom I believe is a contralto, who did a different version of Ave Maria. She hit some ridiculously low notes for a female!
When that Lys woman is an alto, it´s no miracle
Maybe not a miracle, but she had some powerful dark notes that a lot of females don't have. For a miracle, listen to Dame Clara Butt :)
@@Dunstlookalike Oh yes ! I love Dame Clara Butt's singing ! Unbelievably deep indeed.
Sorry but I don't like her interpretation of death. On the other hand, I believe one always love the interpretation the most that one is already familiar with ;)
@Schantalbert correct poetic german...
means: you shall be in good courage
That's what you do when you sing classical pieces in German
She rolls her "r"'s like crazy!
i can reach a low D. I am usually embarassed of my low voice, I don't like it at all. my friends say I sound like a man.
Sarah Mullin you shouldn’t be embarrassed.. is a gift we want to hear!
Do not be embarrassed to be blessed with a beautiful voice with a greater range, which is an asset not a liability. Not very nice friends!
don’t be embarrassed about it, that low voice makes duetting fun!! 🤩
speed: 0.5
thank me later
+BLOP888 ....beauty

Wow, your profile picture... I live in that house and I am not kidding. I am sitting in the living room right now! And thank you for the amazing tip haha ;)
I love this lied and this interpretation in particular for many very serious reasons, but man was that a grand laugh haha
IM DYINGGGGGG I thought this was going to help me hear her clearly sound each note so I could practice along side her- (which I suppose it did) but I didn’t expect THAT 😂
Even my dog was disturbed by this rendition at .5 speed. haha!
look at imslp.org
Strange that she doesn't take the optional D3...🤔
she's a high mezzo so I'm not surprised
Had this 'song' or 'music' at school last week, don't know why somebody wants to listen to this...depressing 'music'...anybody knows why?
Yes, I know why people listen to this Music...because it's beyond time...it's timeless in it's meaning, in it's depth and in it's powerful beauty....this is true Music, all that other stuff they call music these days has nothing to do with this...that's garbage compared to this here...That's what your school is trying to tell you I guess...

This is not depressing at all! Death is a friend, this is what Schubert is trying to tell us. You don't have to fear it, isn't that a great new?

Pretty close to what all Austrians do, really!
Thomas Mann brought me here
uno strumento di natura poco bello .
trovo poco convincente la vocalità della morte .
la differenza tra le voci della ragazza e la morte dev'essere enorme ...
deve ''colpire'' il cuore del pubblico !
interpretazione poco convincente .
questa e' la mia modesta opinione .

Oh god... to be tortured to this song...
Bin Freund...
Wunderbar !!!
