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 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!
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.
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.
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.)
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!
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 !
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.
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.
After countless times of listening to this performance, still every time I get goosebumps. Amazing singer, and a spectacular concertmaster. Perfect duet, Bravo.
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. :-)
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.
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.!
Brava, Maria Fuller!!! Super Baßführung der linken(!) Hand, das gibt dem schönen, lyrischen Ton von Philippe Sly ein gutes und sattes, dunkles Fundament. Danke!
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!!
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.
Both Mr. Sly and Ms. Fuller are outstanding- this is not an either/or situation. Both artists are superb, I hope to hear from both of them in the future! Thank you for this stupendous performance. Schubert's spirit must be happy!
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!
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! 🙏🏻
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!
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!
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 (;
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.

100% agree. Outstanding playing.

yes it is actually hermann prey does it as well on the orchestral version its great
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.
I’ll be that guy. There are 4 characters including the narrator
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.
Just leaving this here for my own reference. :P

Thank you my friend. Good job.
Thanks so much.
Powerfully emotional and beautifully effective thanks to two superb performers.
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.

@Movie Games check this version th-cam.com/video/4_BmRekeJ8A/w-d-xo.html I love it ! Enjoy :)
But then we would miss how beautifully Phillippe emotes with his face as well as the voice.

Soren Wraitheart
This ballad was written by Goethe.
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...
03:12 is so absolutely chilling, the emotion within that verse is so thrilling.
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
The pianist is so great !
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!
HOLY FUCK what a pianist!!!
Awesome performance by Maria Fuller. unbelievable.

Danilo In-der-Wildi : Philippe Sly is anything but unknown!

Wow... I love to watch the pianist at 3:39! Philippe so good, thank you. We hope all is well with you.
Ooh needs exorcist immediately
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!
Wow, the singer is great! His acting is great! And the pianist... oh god... no words about how amazing she is.
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 !
Philippe was only 20 here... what a voice and perfect german articulation as an original canadian! And formidable piano playing!

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!!

The accompanist is named Maria Fuller. Ms. Jurrius made the recording.
The singing is magnificent
. Presenting three characters (father, young son, Erlkönig) and the narrator - that’s art.
just the right fierceness at the piano, and excellent singing and timbre of voice.. thank you.. this is wonderful!
Wonderful performance, both are serious artists. No mannerisms, just pure music.
Bravo!
細身の見た目からは想像できない素晴らしい歌声でした、有り難う！！女性の方の何かに取り憑かれたかのような圧巻のピアノ演奏も素晴らしかったです。
Absolutely stunning performance, best I’ve ever heard. And on top: his German is marvelous!
Best "Erlkönig hat mir ein Leid getan" ever
3:18
I could listen to this part all day, it’s simply chilling
Chanté magnifiquement, pianiste incroyable !
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?
best pianist I've ever heard playing this. really amazing. REALLY
Is this guy famous yet
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.
Է : YES!!!
YES! Here he is on PBS singing more Schubert! www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/now-hear-this-the-schubert-generation-full-episode-qlokff/11967/
After countless times of listening to this performance, still every time I get goosebumps. Amazing singer, and a spectacular concertmaster. Perfect duet, Bravo.
Realy amazing. Definitly one of the best performances I've ever seen.
Maria Fuller. This is excellent! Thank you.
Incredible singing as well as acting, i just love everything about this! Great job to the both of you, especially you Philippe!
I’ve listened to this performance fifty times if I’ve heard it once, and this morning it still brought me goosebumps. Bravo!
Please pass my he compliments to the the two young performers.

Ich finde dies immer und immer stärker und tiefer, immer tiefer. Schönsten Dank!
Amazing talent, wonderful voice and interpretation, congrats, a name to remember...
I love to see how the pianist Maria Fuller releases her pain in the face at 3:39min after the accelerando. Very amazing!!
Wow. Great work from both of you. I LOVE the pianist's face near the end! Priceless.
love this! amazing performance from the pianist and the singer!
Philippe Sly is really great. I just can't stop binge-listening.
Excellent performance! Thank you for sharing! Also a big praise for the pianist, she did also a great job! :)
Just spectacular. Thank you! 💜
Fantastic interpretation, hands down my favorite rendition so far.
Good heavens!!! GREAT voice, GREAT pianist, GREAT preformance!!! Big applause!!! Standing ovation!!!
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.

Both the singer and the pianist make a spooky sounding piece sound even spookier.
Greatly performed! The pianist is very talented! Bravo!!!
es ist ein Genuss euch beiden zuzuhören!
Love the accompanist's artistry!
The page-flipper kinda looks like Schubert! :D
out-of-the-grave cameo!
lmao! Maybe he is Schubert grand-grand-grandson! XD
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.
;)

Truly staggering. There are some very fine performances of this by legendary singers. I don't think any of them are better than this.
Great voice, great expression, fantastic piano!
That was incredible. I can't believe these 2 young people were able to do that so well! I GOT MAD CHILLS!
Philippe Sly, wunderbar wie immer! :-))
This is marvelous both as the pianist's work and the singer.The pianist even more)))❤
wow this is fantastic! classy interpretation and that accompanist is just outstanding
Both Mr. Sly and Ms. Fuller are outstanding- this is not an either/or situation. Both artists are superb, I hope to hear from both of them in the future! Thank you for this stupendous performance. Schubert's spirit must be happy!
Amazing! Very talented performers. Congratulations.
Wonderful performance by singer and pianist!!
You both gave an amazing performance, plenty of emotion. Schubert would probably be applauding :)
This is probably the best interpretation I've heard. Bravo.
So superb, it can't get better than this!
He has a beautiful lyric baritone voice with a beautiful tenor quality.
this is so beautiful, truly! Had goosebumps throughout the entire performance! ☺️
Beautiful and expressive interpretation. Bravi!
exceptionnel ! grand bravo aux 2 interprètes !
Excellent singer and excellent pianist!

Bravo!!! The singer did a great performance and the pianist it's perfect!
Both are incredible! Congratz!
Your voice goes so well with this piece. Amazing pronounciation, too! Wow!
I don't think I've ever heard anyone with better resonance than this man. Extremely well done!
Well interpreted and played superbly!
Bravo!
Heartbreaking song perfectly performed by Mr Sly and pianist.
The passion of the pianist is
Perfect for rhis composition
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!
the faces he makes for each character gives me liiiiife
Sehr schön!!
Wunderbar!!
