The two Graham Johnson Schubert videos I have seen to date are beyond compare in offering intellectual, cultural, historical, and yes, emotional content. They incorporate first-rate performances of Schubert lieder, along with the scores. Bravo!
I'm very much looking forward to hearing these insights over 4 parts from the eminent Mr Graham Johnson. As I grow older, Schubert means more and more to me.
I have listened to all four of these wonderful talks/lectures. They are deeply illuminating, moving and scholarly. Thank you so much Graham Johnson for giving us all the benefit of a lifetime’s study.
1:26:22 for just one second is the only bit I hear as a link to the Beethoven...(but then I don't have much of an ear for music - despite being taught a bit by a Beethoven-lineage teacher - through Nikolaev, Lechitizky ets)
Wie schön, dass ich Sie heute entdeckt habe. Vielen Dank für diese kenntnisreichen und einfühlsamen Ausführungen. Kennen Sie den Bariton Benjamin Appel? Ich finde, er singt Schubertlieder sehr eindringlich und berührend .
To which we should add Hugo Wolf, Scott Joplin, and possibly Robert Schumann. How different the history of music would have been had all of these composers lived a full life span!
By the time of his death Schubert's syphilis was actually in a state of remission . Fortunately he never went through all the progressing stages of this terrible disease until the lethal one; that rather slow progress can often take several decades with long pauses of remission in between, which can last for years. He simply died too young. He possibly died of an acute infection, probably a sort of typhoid fever. Three days before his death he was diagnosed by his doctors with "typhus abdominalis", the most probable cause of his death.

Me too! No other composer hits closer to the heart, soul and spirit than Herr Schubert!

True service to mankind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Insightful and moving; thank you
Graham Johnson is also amongst the very best accompaniments for Schubert's music, easily rivaling Moore.

Agree. It’s only a rhythmic similarity - nothing else of the harmonic progression, phrasal structure, etc.
Merci
Could there possibly ever be a better pairing of a wonderful musician scholar and a supreme composer? I doubt not.
I question my choice of words here - it would be best to have said, "I think not."
@@christophercurdo4384. yes.
Or “I doubt so ”.
1:29:50 - the deer reminds one of the Rimbaud poem (written at 15 or so) about a deer
the gretchen song is also used (more or less and to stounding effect) in the great a minor quartet mvmnt 1 of 1824 or so

When your advertisement interrupts my video, it makes me hate your product!
Schubert is one of two great composers (with Delius), to my knowing, who died of syphilis. It's apparently a very horrible way to go.
To which we should add Hugo Wolf, Scott Joplin, and possibly Robert Schumann. How different the history of music would have been had all of these composers lived a full life span!

Indeed. Probably the cause Smetana's hearing loss .

How is the term ‘liberals ‘ used here?
Political liberals?
