That pianist is amazing. Those repeated octaves have caused many pianists hands to cramp in the middle of the piece. Love your voice -- its really improved from some of your earlier recordings.
I'd never heard a noticeable accelerando at the 3:30 part, so I had to go back and actually check the music to see if it was even a thing. Turns out it is, you just never hear it actually performed, because it's Erlkonig and by that point in the piece even the most proficient of accompanists' hands are melting off. Ms. Fuller is an absolute savage of a pianist.
Yes, I went back to the score and there is an accelerando. This piece really needs a good accompanist. This accompanist has such facile octaves, and at that point plays louder and faster with even more ferocity.

His vocal and facial portrayal of the three characters in the song are just brilliant - and the pianist's contribution is simply stunning. This performance is 100% a musical partnership.
It was. Schubert's piano had a lighter action. If your Steinway is stiff, so will your hands be after 4 minutes of this. Worth it, though. Philippe's singing is likewise amazing. Many thanks for the post.
If you are still interested in Maria Fuller after a year here she is playing the Allemande from Bach's French suite No 6 in E major. th-cam.com/video/ejO4OxbkGck/w-d-xo.html She is an extraordinary musician as you can see from her web site. th-cam.com/channels/Evum8cHKyKAjCstroYdNlg.htmlabout
I am a Schubertaholic. I have recordings and recordings of the lieder, piano music, chamber music. This performance both playing and singing knocked me off my couch. Both dramatic and subtle as each is called for. My faith in classical performances into the future is restored. Thank you.
I took a music appreciation class 2 semesters ago and as soon as we heard this song, I was hooked. More specifically, it was this singer that we listened to. Such a tragic story. It gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. Especially when he starts singing the Erlkonig parts. This song appeared in a dream once, and it completely turned it into a nightmare. I didn't hardly sleep the rest of the night. Such a beautiful rendition of the poem.
i didn't except to find such a brilliant performance by an unknown singer! perfect temperament! when it comes to the part "... so brauch ich Gewalt!" it always gives me the shivers, especially when its articulated like here ...
For a Canadian, his rendition in German is quite nice, it took me a third listen before I realized he was not native. I overlooked some minor pronunciation differences exactly because the delivery of some parts, like *Gewalt!* was so brilliantly natural-seeming. You don't do that without knowing the key meaning of the words within the piece.
@@operacat1 Well, depending on context ... :) What I meant is that I as a classical guitarist didn't know him whereas of course the names of the few legendary personalities such as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau or Maria Callas are familiar to me, as well as some more recent ones who have some sort of star popularity (Jaroussky) ... (If you're a classical guitarist, say, Ricardo Gallén will be well-known to you, but for anyone else the name will probably remain unknown.)
One of the best performances of this warhorse I have heard. Excellent voice and the accompanist is a singers dream. Have not seen either of these two before, but will again. The young lady will have singers lining up for her accompanist work.
This is a brilliant performance - the vocal characterisations are just right. The sinister wheedling of the Erlking sent shivers up and down my spine. And that piano playing! I refuse to use the word 'accompanist' - this is a gloriously equal partnership of two superb musicians.
I love how the lid is all the way up on the piano. You want soft, learn to play soft but let the piano sound with all the harmonics ringing! Maria Fuller is fully up to everything the music asks here. Brava!
What a brilliant, dramatic performance of this great work. The 3 characters brought out by the wonderful colour palette that is Sly's fabulous voice. And what a fantastic pianist! Bravi!
This is absolutely THE most stunning version of Der Erlkönig I've ever experienced, and I've heard and seen many different performances. You embody each personality wonderfully. When you shift into the character of the Erl-King, you BECOME the Erl-King - your facial expressions are simply chilling. Bravo ... very well done!!
A thoroughly masterful performance by two beautiful, young, splendidly well-equipped performers. BRAVO! I have to say, however, that Ms. Jurrius, the accompanist, deserves special recognition. Her rendition of this extraordinarily difficult accompaniment ranks with the finest on record, and may even surpass the accomplishment of the great Gerald Moore. There is only one word to describe Ms. Jurrius adequately and that word is AWESOME.
The pianist in this performance is Amazing. Her emphasis of dynamics, her effective implementation of the pedal, and her steady execution of accents (even on those 16th note chords) is particularly impressive. The vocalist on the other hand does an excellent job with dynamics and voices (acting out the Erlking, the boy, and the Father), but his accents at the beginning of the piece are lax which makes the piece loose some of its feeling.
Just watched dieskau/allen/bostridge/norman versions and i still have to say Philippe Sly ( the ability to color the phrases and his simplicity without hysterias ) and Maria Fuller ( can i say wow to this incredible pianist ) ARE AMAZING !
Say him perform in Bach's St Mattews Passion with Philadelphia Orchestra last year - Phenomenal. He is performing again with the Philly Orchestra the last weekend in Sep 2016 - looking forward to another outstanding performance. Famous in my book.
Brava, Maria Fuller!!! Super Baßführung der linken(!) Hand, das gibt dem schönen, lyrischen Ton von Philippe Sly ein gutes und sattes, dunkles Fundament. Danke!
After countless times of listening to this performance, still every time I get goosebumps. Amazing singer, and a spectacular concertmaster. Perfect duet, Bravo.
Jeder Sänger, der Kunstlieder singt, muss sich an Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau messen und dieses Video kann sehr wohl mithalten, großes Lob an diese Performance, großartig!
Please pass my he compliments to the the two young performers. It's wonderful to see this masterpiece carried on to another age.Wonderful singing, intelligent and perceptive, and Maria's playing is perfection. This is a fearfully hard piece to play, especially the related chords in the softer passages. It requires the finest technique, stamina and control. I wish you both every success. :-)
One of the BEST recordings of this great Schubert Lied that I have heard...congrats! Especially loved the great dynamics, the dramatic playing and singing - wonderful impersonation of the different characters, the Father, Son, Erlkönig...Bravi! I am using this version for analysis class with my students!
+Maria Fuller hi, my music class is doing this piece as our set piece and I wanted to learn it. I was just wondering how you're managing to play it without getting cramps in your arm? I've been playing since I was baby. still kind of am. 17 years. but I've never learnt a technique for having such endurance. any advice?
I also use this for my Music Appreciation classes...best version of this piece that I know of...great to see Phillipe's expressions and, Maria, your accompaniment is amazing...well done!!
Maravilhoso cantor e maravilhosa pianista!!! Sem recorrer a coreografias e caretas (que tantos acham tão necessário) o efeito é infinitamente mais impactante. Decididamente um artista a ser seguido❤
This is a masterpiece really,everyone should listen to this and the choice of the song is really good,Im genuenly amazed People should really listen to classic music beacause its really fenomenal and it should be appreciated more than it is right now,at least in my country
wonderful interpretation of this! lovely rich instrument ! You did a great job of conveying the different characters vocally and investing a sense of the dramatic .I have become a big fan.!
Oh my gosh! Excellent performance to the pianist, and singer. They were drawing me in. I heard this song in an anime called, Haven't you heard of Sakamoto? It's an awesome series. I would recommend watching it. This series is awesome!! 😃😁😄😆
Fantastic interpretation; fantastic vocalist but the highlight for me is the pianist, a true test of endurance... and I just realized I've performed in that venue before, I live 2 minutes away from that building haha... Fantastic local musicians!
Not only is this quite literally the most accurately expressive recording of this piece I've ever heard, but the baritone is astounding in every way, and the consistency of the accompanist is incredible. Thank you.
Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind; Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm, Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm. "Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?" - "Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht? Den Erlenkönig mit Kron und Schweif?" - "Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif." "Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir! Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir; Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand, Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand." - "Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht, Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht?" - "Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind; In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind." - "Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn? Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön; Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn, Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein." - "Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort?" - "Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh' es genau: Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau. -" "Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt; Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch' ich Gewalt." - "Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an! Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan!" - Dem Vater grauset's, er reitet geschwind, Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind, Erreicht den Hof mit Müh' und Not; In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.
Poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, from a longer work, Die Fischerin, a Singspeil from 1782. Carl Loewe's setting is also masterful. (Hint, hint, Phillipe.)
The voice is a bit lightweight compared to renditions of this I've heard from Hermann Prey and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau who could effortlessly fill up a concert hall without even thinking about it. That said, it's obvious this Bass-Baritone is much younger than when I heard those greats and he's years away from a very promising prime. Beautifully sung.
I'm working on a book, and in the section I'm currently working on, two riders are desperately racing towards their destination. This piece is a great mood setter writing that chapter.
I am very impressed by this performance… At times, the pianist over took the scene however, I will give her credit in building the suspense and creating the atmosphere. Great duo
Truly awe-inspiring performance. Beautiful voice and brilliant portrayal of the 3 characters. Ons of the best accompanists I have ever heard playing this fiendishly difficult "accompaniment", which is almost an etude! 🙏🏻
Only yesterday (24th September) I threw the music down in frustration whilst rehearsing with a friend. Maria, you have given me inspiration and fresh hope to get it right!
Will there be a day when a human comes and actually be able to play like her and sing like him at the same time?, if that ever happened my jaw would drop to the ground of admiration.
That pianist is amazing. Those repeated octaves have caused many pianists hands to cramp in the middle of the piece. Love your voice -- its really improved from some of your earlier recordings.
I used to love to sing this but rarely could I find anyone who could accompany me : (
She appears multi-talented indeed
You're right... she's worth her weight in gold! Singer has a Nathan Gunn quality(vocally).
The 121 likes (including mine) signify, I presume, that at least 121 pianists know exactly what you mean. A masterful performance, and a moving one.
d brel I’m 15years old I’m a boy and I want to play this song love it’s harmony (;

He’s not just a singer, he’s a great performer. Incredible stage command.
ilstraniero29
tecnica degna della scuola media e ancora ...
I can't hear him over the piano...?
@@rogerpropes7129 Ohno I worry for your hearing
I mean he's an opera singer foremost
Compare and contrast Jessye Norman's performance.
I wish there was a dedicated video of the piano player. That looked amazing.
And too much pain
It was. Schubert's piano had a lighter action. If your Steinway is stiff, so will your hands be after 4 minutes of this. Worth it, though. Philippe's singing is likewise amazing. Many thanks for the post.

Soren Wraitheart You hardly slept that night. 🤓
Goosebumps are handy to keep your geese at home. (Do geese see God?)
Listen to Elizabeth Swartzkopf's Erlkönig and you might have to sleep with your lights on...
He is marvelous. So is the pianist. They are a true collaboration, which is why this is called collaborative piano at music departments.
Don't you think pianist is sitting in an awkward position? She is very good as is Philippe but that position is odd...
The pianist is so great !
i didn't except to find such a brilliant performance by an unknown singer! perfect temperament! when it comes to the part "... so brauch ich Gewalt!" it always gives me the shivers, especially when its articulated like here ...

Ooh needs exorcist immediately
This is one of the best performances of this masterpiece. The pianist is a great accompanist! Superb interpretation!
The pianist is a great pianist
I think it's more appropriate to just call her the pianist instead of an accompanist.
EPICA does it better though
I've listened and relistened to any number of performances of this on youtube, and this one grows on me like no other. Fantastic.
That's because you haven't seen Michael Aspinall's... :)
Do we have to?! lol
What a brilliant, dramatic performance of this great work. The 3 characters brought out by the wonderful colour palette that is Sly's fabulous voice. And what a fantastic pianist! Bravi!
This version of Der Erlkönig is wonderful Philippe. I've come back to it over and over.

Bravo!
best pianist I've ever heard playing this. really amazing. REALLY
Wow, the singer is great! His acting is great! And the pianist... oh god... no words about how amazing she is.
The pianist did an amazing job! What captured my the most is the expression she had at 3:38 - 3:48. Isn't she lovely?

Elvisredbaron F. Schubert had no children..
Of course that was a joke. =)
Elvisredbaron It's not funny, when someone is so ugly, that no one wants to marry him... or at least have a child from him.

Fantastic interpretation, hands down my favorite rendition so far.

If there was a “love” button I would definitely click it! I had goosebumps the whole time!!
So awesome, as a novice dramatic bass-baritone it's so cool to see such high level performance
wonderful interpretation of this! lovely rich instrument ! You did a great job of conveying the different characters vocally and investing a sense of the dramatic .I have become a big fan.!

Perfect for rhis composition
Wonderful!! Amazing talented!!
He has a beautiful lyric baritone voice with a beautiful tenor quality.
This is overly impressive. One of the most difficult songs to perform. Awesome work. :)
You both gave an amazing performance, plenty of emotion. Schubert would probably be applauding :)
Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,

Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn,
Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein." -

Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort?" -
"Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh' es genau:
Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau. -"
"Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt;
Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch' ich Gewalt." -
"Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an!
Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan!" -
Dem Vater grauset's, er reitet geschwind,
Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
Erreicht den Hof mit Müh' und Not;
In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.
Nicht dursch sondern durch. Ihre Aussprache scheint's mir leider nicht perfekt.

This rendition is second only to Fischer-Dieskau’s one!
Realy amazing. Definitly one of the best performances I've ever seen.

Wow. Great work from both of you. I LOVE the pianist's face near the end! Priceless.
Both the singer and the pianist make a spooky sounding piece sound even spookier.
I'm working on a book, and in the section I'm currently working on, two riders are desperately racing towards their destination. This piece is a great mood setter writing that chapter.
I am very impressed by this performance… At times, the pianist over took the scene however, I will give her credit in building the suspense and creating the atmosphere. Great duo
I found a translation...
...I wish I hadn't.
Truly terrifying! !
But It's a great story, isn't it?
I really appreciate your voice Philipp sly
😂
Goethe's feverish madness, poetic genius ?!
We read the ballade in sixth grade in germany, its not that scary
Truly awe-inspiring performance. Beautiful voice and brilliant portrayal of the 3 characters.
Ons of the best accompanists I have ever heard playing this fiendishly difficult "accompaniment", which is almost an etude! 🙏🏻
Bravissimo!! Great singing and a fantastic example for me on the piano.
His voice at about 1:30 is fantastic! One of the most charming/creepy Erlkings I've heard! Perfect :)
I don't think I've ever heard anyone with better resonance than this man. Extremely well done!
exceptionnel ! grand bravo aux 2 interprètes !
Greatly performed! The pianist is very talented! Bravo!!!
Philippe Sly, wunderbar wie immer! :-))
Heartbreaking song perfectly performed by Mr Sly and pianist.
Philippe was only 20 here... what a voice and perfect german articulation as an original canadian! And formidable piano playing!
Just spectacular. Thank you! 💜
Wow. The singer is phenomenal, obviously, but this is definitely the best piano performance of the work I have ever heard. Brava!
wow this is fantastic! classy interpretation and that accompanist is just outstanding
Your voice goes so well with this piece. Amazing pronounciation, too! Wow!
