He looked pretty mad at himself when he noticed the text error...;-{ Then again, it does not sound like he knows what he is singing about. I admit that the voice is impressive, as is his hairdo.
I'm surprised by how effective this is as a chamber work. I've performed the piano-duet-only version (WAAAY easier -- and fuller -- than playing the whole damn thing by yourself!) with a larger choir and really missed the full orchestral sound. This has the feel of the Liebeslieder Waltzer. It helps that the quality of the singing and playing is top-notch. Love the sound of the baritone soloist: awesome voice for this movement.
So, it's better to suppress the version with piano accompaniment so that this work will only be presented with full orchestra? This will ensure that only people who are members of large choral societies in affluent parts of the country will participate in singing it. Perhaps we should apprehend the guy who devised this four-hand keyboard accompaniment and give him hell. Someone named Johannes, I hear tell.
Brahms himself scored this for piano. As an alto, it is far clearer and easier to hear the voices and learn the part. The orchestra all to easily swamps the voices.
Wundervoll, auch mit Piano!
WHO IS THIS FANTASTIC BASS SOLOIST.?
Richard Williams pretty sure that’s Dashon Burton

@@musicbyimagination1466 To a native speaker like me it does sound as if he knows very very well what he is singing about, though.
Bariton. Kein Bass!!!
Bravo! Excellent singing. Technically challenging movement to pull off well, more so for a chamber choir.
Wow.
fabulous bass, wonderful chamber choir. Seemingly - an outfit from nowhere...... wonderful
Non ci sono nuovi video di questo splendido coro?
"Death, Where...Is...Thy...Sting??" Love it!

Wow. Great performance. Text alteration of baritone (01:42 ff) lapsus or purpose?
lapsus
Deutsches Requiem on a piano is like the Ace of Spades on a ukulele
