  • "..... watching Quasthoff sing "Der Leiermann" is a really unique experience in the world of recorded music on DVD nowadays, a deeply touching moment of absolute union between music and singer, between composer and performer, like his face shows in all the song, and
    like his voice sings"
    from Franz Schubert's song cycle "Die Winterreise", op. 89, D. 911
    Thomas Quasthoff, baritone
    Daniel Barenboim, piano
    Filmed live at the Berlin Philharmonie on 22 March 2005
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Drueben hinterm Dorfe steht ein Leiermann
    und mit starren Fingern dreht er, was er kann.
    Barfuss auf dem eise wankt er hin und her
    und sein kleiner Teller bleibt ihm immer leer.
    Keiner mag ihn hoeren, keiner sieht ihn an,
    und die Hunde knurren um den alten Mann.
    Und er laesst es gehen alles, wie es will,
    dreht, und seine Leier steht ihm nimmer still.
    Wunderlicher alter, soll ich mit dir geh'n?
    Willst zu meinen Liedern deine Leier dreh'n?

    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

    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.

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.

    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

      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?

    • @barbaratrehy4742
      @barbaratrehy4742 Před 6 lety +3

      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?

    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!
