As I mentioned, an even more beautiful voice than Prey's and now watching Berry perform I can see why... It's because he's so much more expressive than practically any other singer I've ever heard or seen.
SURPRISE! Dear friends, does this "lieder" seem familiar to you? Of course yes, it is the song of the sermon of Saint Anthony of Padua to the fishes, the story says, that the saint began to preach in the streets of Rimini in Italy, but nobody listened to his words, so he decided to go to the sea to preach to the fishes and other marine creatures, immediately the fishes began to jump joyfully with happiness, This "lieder" Mahler would use in the third movement of his glorious second symphony "resurrection". It was a custom for Mahler to use part of his "lieders" in some of his symphonies. Enjoy it with the great bass Walter Berry and the great Leonard Bernstein.
What a wonderful performer he was. He was one of a kind.
He actually sings like a story-teller. It is as if the children (after all, this was a Young People's Concert) actually knew German.

He is acting, as well as singing. He has a good sense of timing. And a pretty good voice, as well.
Wonderful Walter Berry
Masterpiece!! Thank you. Fantastic performance. Congratulations.
His jacket look very 19th-Century Austrian.
