After rediscovering this Franz Schubert piece I'm joyfully posting this magical performance of it. The Hurdy Gurdy Man.

YOUTUBE POST:
"..... watching Quasthoff sing "Der Leiermann" is a really unique experience in the world of recorded music on DVD nowadays, a deeply touching moment of absolute union between music and singer, between composer and performer, like his face shows in all the song, and
like his voice sings"

from Franz Schubert's song cycle "Die Winterreise", op. 89, D. 911

Thomas Quasthoff, baritone
Daniel Barenboim, piano

Filmed live at the Berlin Philharmonie on 22 March 2005
