- On Christmas Day 1978, the great british baritone Benjamin Luxon was settling down to celebrate with family and friends when Sir Bernard Haitink called, asking him to rescue this Concertgebouw performance that very same day, as the scheduled soloist was indisposed. A private plane was sent, Ben flew to Amsterdam, sang, and was home in time for christmas dinner!
Luxon!! Benjamin Luxon! Incredible baritone
thank you! I had never heard Mr. Luxon's version. Very beautiful and classy with deep feeling.
R.I.P. Benjamin Luxon (1937-2024)
My favorite version of this. Luxon's voice suits the music perfectly.
Best I've ever heard -- and I've enjoyed Hampson's and FD's for years.
Roland Hermann's version is also excellent, but of them all, I think Luxon's is the best.
This has got to be my favorite Benjamin Luxon performance!
Wonderful singing. Wonderful.
This recording may be one of the most perfect I have heard of this cycle.
I know it's the most perfect version I have ever heard.
This is a delightful Mahler performance by Benjamin Luxon - so beautifully sung and touches the heart.. I wonder if anyone can post his complete TV performance of Mendelssohn's Elijah? It was broadcast in the late 1970s I believe in the UK with a fine cast and I can imagine the role fitting his voice like a velvet glove.
Fascinating story and a very good performance. BL's voice is so suited to this cycle. It feels right when a high, lyric baritone sings this cycle. I came across this film while preparing a talk for the Operatic and Vocal Appreciation Society which I am a founder member of. I've had a little bit of correspondance with BL, who, fairly recently, wrote me a very interesting letter in response to a question about Edgar Herbert-Caesari's concept of the Completely Natural Voice (another of the above Societys talks.)
Fantastic! I was just listening to Dietrich Fischer Diskau singing this and usually I find Dietrich to be incomparable, but I actually prefer Ben's version. Whaddya know
Amazing artwork, you´re having in your channel. Thank you very much.
The expression and the impression of music in consciousness is that of a plenitude. This is what Benjamin Benjamin Luxon gives in hi sinterpretation of Mahler. Thank you for downloading this beautiful document!
wow, what surprise!
진짜.. 잘한다
the 7 dislikes are jealous baritones haha this is gorgeous
I very much enjoy Benjamin Luxon's singing, but honestly, this is not my favorite interpretation of his. For my taste, he relies rather too heavily on a pseudo-falsetto to navigate the high, soft passages. He's certainly not alone in this approach: Fischer-Dieskau does it also (especially in his later recordings). But I prefer something more along the lines of Hermann Prey (th-cam.com/video/fPIFe9qlDjA/w-d-xo.html), who manages to navigate those sections while remaining fully on the voice. Another good example is Sir Thomas Allen (th-cam.com/video/QP_opfNBmOs/w-d-xo.html). Allen makes some use of a pseudo falsetto, but to a much lesser extent than Luxon.
Have taught voice for 60 years. He is, like McCormick, innocent of falsetto, all opinions to the contrary.
He does not seem to be singing the Dutch words in the subtitles. Is he singing in German? I was thinking what good fortune it was that he knew the songs in Dutch with no advance notice. Maybe it's German.
Yes it is a German song cycle so he is singing in German and the on screen translation was for the Dutch viewers. A really beautiful version of these lieder.
