- German lieder, the most serious form of all vocal music, is here presented in Schubert's "The Erl King." Four characters are portrayed by the singer: the Narrator is the first, telling the story of how a father is riding home through the darkness with his young son in his arms. These three characters are joined by the Erl King, whom the child spies in the trees as they gallop along. "Do you not see him?" the child asks. "It is just the fog," the father replies. The Erl King beckons to the boy: "Come play with me" he entreats. "Father, don't you hear him," cries the boy. "Be quiet," says the father," it is only the wind." "Come with me, my boy," says the Erl King, "my daughters will rock you to sleep." The boy cries, "My father, don't you see them?" but the father replies that he sees only the trees. "Father, he's seizing me now," cries the boy, and the horrified father finally arrives home, only to find the boy is dead in his arms.
Michael Aspinall follows in the footsteps of the great prima donnas of yesteryear by giving Schubert's song a rendering both dramatic and colourful. (From a recital given in New York in 1987. The pianist is David Triestram.) - Zábava
The "sei ruhig!" is the best part. ^^ A great artist (and also a good pianist!!!).

Note that his German is perfect.
I will never be able to take the erlking seriously ever again 😂😂😂
great soprano
Aspinall è un genio.
I love it, love it love it... I had this on LP :D
Ok, I thought Jessye Norman did this lieder best. WRONG! XD
Richtig! :-)
This is the first time I’ve ever seen and heard someone make a comical performance out of probably one of the most frightening songs of all time. I’m not sure how either Schubert or Goethe would take to this. It was definitely creative and different.
GREAT PIANIST !!!
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY! GREAT!
Lol love it
Disturbing but fun.
Ha ragione "lospazio". Credo che Goethe stesso riderebbe :)
HAHAHAHAHA ,.- MAECHTIG GEWALTIG !!! BEINAHE MNOZIL BRASS
He often looks like Nilsson
lol
But he moves his mouth like Cecilia Gasdia
.. Afternote: Could anyone tell me who the totally awesome pianist is?
Es ist unten geschrieben. The pianist is David Triestram.
Так співати відомий романс Шуберта треба вміти Хаха!
Google translate: "That's how you need to be able to sing Schubert's famous romance. Haha!"
Azt hittem az Erlkönigtől távol áll a HUMOR...de ez nagyon érdekes... hmmm...
Google translate: " I thought HUMOR was far from Erlkönig ... but it's very interesting ... hmmm ..."
