- Thomas Hampson is one of the best contemporary singers of opera and Lieder. Born in the United States, he now lives in Switzerland and is a passionate teacher. We met him at the Schubert Week 2021 in Berlin. For six days, he transformed the Pierre Boulez Saal into a laboratory for Franz Schubert’s Lieder and helped eight young singers from around the world find their way to the Austrian composer.
For Hampson, Schubert’s great talent was his skill at expressing inner states such as happiness, jealousy and love through music. On one of the evenings, the maestro himself sang Franz Schubert’s Erlkönig, an undisputed highlight of Berlin’s Schubert Week.
Hampson’s Schubert Week also had to comply with pandemic restrictions, of course. Participants had regular antigen tests and had to wear masks in the corridors. There was no audience in the hall itself, but the workshops and concerts were streamed online. And physical distancing was mandatory.

Exactly…Thank you !! 😊
Superb as usually - I can listen without a pause - so exciting - as the explanation and of course the rendition of the music /singing - thank you !
Wow, that’s it “larger than ourselves”, let go of ego and make the art “possess” us, wholly given over to it.
Bravo Mr Thomas Hampson !!
i'm watching a late night CUNY TV programme and this gentleman Thomas Hampson is singing and he really got my attention. WOW.
Just wonderful. Reduced me to tears. More please!
Lovely. Thank you. We're excited to have him on our stage soon!
Nagyon jó volt hallani és látni tanítását , irányítását !!
Just met him today in Vienna… together with his wife and little dog 🤓 a complete unpretentious man
😀
Great video!
Wish one could hear the whole recital by Hampson
🙏🧡
So great artist and human being
Let’s face it. Except for Athanael in Thais, Rigoletto, Macbeth, King Dodon in The Golden Cockerel and Eugene Onegin and a few others, baritone roles are mostly utility roles for the opera-the soprano’s father or the stereotypical villain. When you see that soprano and tenor get three curtain calls and sometimes a bouquet and lots of press interviews, it can bother you a lot if you are a mezzo or baritone. What you must bear in mind is the utility singers are the backbone of the opera like the chorus and conductor. Everyone needs to pull their weight if they want the performance to be a success. There are no insignificant roles-just showy and less showy parts. It is all about PERSPECTIVE.
Please listen also to Fisher Dieskau
Fisher Dieskau was without peer. But this guy is damn good, too!
Superb.
👍
Am I hearing his accent correctly? It's almost like hearing Sean Connery here. By the sound of his lisp.
Magyarázata Schubertről és zenéjéről a német nyelvről magasröptű
Not loudly, not weak, It's really good interpretations.
Hampson cares about non-existent storytellers and Der Wanderer.
Oh my god! is he singing with score??? terrible!!
it is reading from the page! not more!
and still manages to slip in some text errors.....
So what?
There are also singers with a good voice, who have a problem processing information. I am not saying Hampson has. Be grateful you obviously have a great memory. Not everyone is as perfect as you are.
Thank you! But he is singing the most famous Songs, 100 times sung in a concert! Its not art to sing it with score!
Undeveloped tenor.
What makes you say that?
How is your voice and your memory?
Can you do better than he?
Never compare with others. Each person is an individual who has a talent for something and is less good at something else, like for instance memorizing....
