Mattei´s voice, his rendition, Nilsson´s piano accompaniment, the mood of the location, this is a very special performance, truely remarkable.

I could listen Mattei-NIlsson "Winterreise" all day every day and still find something new and amazingly beautiful... but the daily acts of survival require "forced" abstension...and what a joy to return to this so profound, so rich, so enchanting, so moving, even exalted expression of the vast range of human emotions through solo voice and solo accompaniment....Bravo Peter! Bravo David! Bravissimo tutti due! Carissimi auguri...

Also I, never heard a better "Winterreise". I knew Peter Mattei as a splended Wagner-Singer. With Winterreise I'm convinced, he to be one of the greatest ever... thank You Peter Mattei for this deep moments

Baritone Peter Mattei has such an incredibly beautiful, deeply resonant, and amazingly expressive voice. Awe inspiring, spine tingling performance. My superlatives are long maxed out but still feeling short of properly describing his pure, wonderful voice. Lars David Nilsson's piano accompaniment is equally excellent. Bravissimo!!

One of the most captivating Winterreises ever recorded.

Simply one of the greatest artists to have ever lived.

Absolutely superb. Glorious voice and powerful and deeply sympathetic accompaniment. Mr Mattei uses a wide range of colours while remaining entirely natura,l deeply human and very very moving.

Down the Peter Mattei rabbit hole, omg. They're both amazing

One of the best and moving performances of "Die Winterreise" I have ever heard! Excellent voice, technique and expression!

How does Mattei get a "thousand" emotions into one brief musical phrase...Wow! So beautiful and heart rending...no faffy directors, no "look at me I'm really an architect" sets...JUST THE MUSIC and the EMOTION...all at the HIGHEST POSSIBLE CONSUMMATE LEVEL OF ART. Bravo Peter und Lars!!! Bravi!

I have never heard a better interpretation of Winterr🎉🎉eise! There are many excellent recordings but Peter Mattei has a perfect voice, perfect intonation and interpretation. The piano accompaniment is stunning. Bravo!

I've heard many renditions of the song cycle, but I've been as moved before. Mattei's voice and interpretation have unearthly depth and beauty.

So glad I found this. will be performing Winterreise in 2023 and this is an inspiring model. Brilliant dueting and intensity without self absorption

I've no other words !! One of the most beautiful and accomplished rendition of the monumental Schubert's masterpiece !!!

One of the most moving performances of the Winterreise I have heard! Thank you for sharing this musical gem!

Mesmerising! Mattei is one of the outstanding performers of all time...pure Gift.

Peter Mattei ist einer der besten Sänger unserer Zeit, sowohl im Lied wie in der Oper.

Eine göttliche Stimme! Für mich die beste „Winterreise“.

Боги, до чего же великолепен Маттеи!! И пианист ему под стать, просто восхитителен! Аплодирую и восхищаюсь стоя!

Guaranteed excellence for one hour and fourteen minutes.. I am speechless.

I've never heard the Winterreise better than this... Bravi both. I own the CD of these two, which is also exquisite and not entirely identical to the video recording.

What an exciting performance. One that I will be playing many times.

Bravo, Peter! So good!!!

"Mesmerised," "hypnotised" by this great artiste - expression, interpretation, and aaah, the voice! I should be promoting my own literary works, but Peter Mattei has awoken the composer within, and now melodies and harmonies intrude on my other creations!!! Schubert was dying of syphilis at the time of writing - not hard to contract in Germany at the time... and the inner conflict is evident in the composition which transits from extreme anguish to moments of serenity followed by anguish...of course the text is a love story, but again, open to so many interpretations of metaphor. All those gimmicky, overblown directors at the Met and Paris Opera should sit through this twenty times until they GET IT. It's the Music. It's the VOICE. It's the HEART...not the danged sets and disruptive gimmicks. Bravo Peter - my inspiration, and the great Lars David Nilsson, and my other, different "music love," counter tenor, Philippe Jaroussky. Oh to hear them together!!!

Their CD recording is in a league with a very few records of all time, and I am speaking in general, not just recordings of the Winterreise. Certainly the most perfect record I own. And Lars David Nilsen is equally the best pianist and accompanist I have ever heard. I hope they will do more Lieder cycles together, maybe Dichterliebe. And his German is sublime, better than all native speakers I've heard (and I'm a native speaker myself).

Einfach wunderschön!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!

This Swedish master of singing ranges from a desparate forte to a delicate piano within a blink of an eye - a truly breathtaking performance - the pianist is equally phenomenal and the best rendition I have ever heard. What a toast to Müller and Schubert

I will never forget his Amfortas at the New York Met, NEVER

Peter Mattei is one of my idols in song and opera. His CD recording of Winterreise was one of my benchmark recordings while I was preparing my Winterreise. I discovered this video recording after the CD and I can easily say that their rendition here is even superior than in their CD. There are many lessons to take from his plain but effective way of singing, his coloring, nuances etc. Bravi!

The most beautiful and expressive interpretation I have heard, and wonderful baritone voice!

Questo voce! This interpretation! This duo - ok, quartet with Schubert and ?Muller? the poet-librettist! Cielo... only angels could sing more beautifully than Peter (Peter/Per Mattei!) Bravo! Adesso devo scapare or I will never complete my 40th book!

Very beautiful!

Una de las mejores versiones que escuché de esta obra.❤

Superb!

How beautiful Peter Mattei's voice is. This is gorgeous. I love Jonas Kaufmann's version of this too.

Mamma mia! Che bravo!!! Fantastico. Grazie.

It is amazing how his voice can be so soft and so loud. In all the singers ive listen to he is the best❤

Just wonderful!

GREAT !!!! Wonderful ! Touching !

When I listen to this with the windows open the little vogelein (boydies/birds/avians) start singing too!!! 🥰😍🤩Sadly, they fly away when I try to sing along as well... 🤣

Peter Mattei’s work here is hands down the most beautiful version of this great piece. I own about 20 recordings of it.

Uma voz linda e uma sensibilidade tão bonita!

What an amazing experience. What an extraordinary interpretation of Winterreise! And Lars Nilsson gives Schubert's lieder an almost contemporary, almost atonal sound... but Mattei...yikes - words fail... he brings a depth to the Winterreise that overshadows the sorrow...and requires further study.

einfach wunderschön .. bravo!

beutiful voice at beautiful place

flawless, bravo!

Just listened to Hermann Prey (Gut Nacht and Lindenbaum) and last night the entire Winterreise by Fischer Diskau - and while those two great baritoni set an extraordinarily high bar, our Peter Mattei "leapt right over it!!!" The different styles are interesting and beautiful, but there's something exceptionally compelling about Mattei. An amazing "interpreter" as well - hard to believe that this is the same performer who brings such a naughty edge to "Figaro" in the Barber of Seville and an abusive variant of Don G in the Paris Opera version (nasty director) or the gently seductive Don G in the Met Opera version. This is him at his finest: just the music, thank you, just the accompanist and "The Voice..." Grazie! Tack, Peter!

I could not stop listening to both singer and piano player just perfect. Bravissimo! Thank you and see and hear you often in concerts radio or TV and You Tube.

Nagyon örülök ennek a felvételnek!

No one has a voice as beautiful as Mr. Mattei's! I would so love a translation in English, though.

Beautiful!

I live this interpretation with tempo Bravo!

The strength and passion of the Viking with the compassion and humanity and warmth of his Italian paternity. What a GIFT to the world!!! Every time I hear this I find more depth, richness, subtlety, sheer vocal beauty...and Lars David Nillson - what sensitivity and subtlety in his accompaniment. If there can be "musical perfection" on this earth, it's here.

Очень приятный тембр голоса поет очень легко.

Le top à notre époque

my favorite Don Giovanni today!

Bella voce, Chiara e aperta,! Bel timbro!!

Beautiful

Maravilloso!!!!

Bravo

I’ve seen Mattei onstage quite a few times. To my ears, he really has one of the very best and most beautiful voices. The only problem for me with this video is that I’d prefer a German or English translation. I don’t know any Scandinavian language and it becomes distracting, but still a minor detail.

Unreal

Toll. Wie ein Muttersprachler. Manchmal etwas störende Schleifer. Aber mindestens so gut wie Gerhaher.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Traumhaft..

Wie wunderbar

😍😍😍

❤❤❤❤❤

Yes.

Après Fischer-Diskau, la preuve qu’on peut encore aller plus loin dans l’expressivité personnelle ressentie.

I wish he would record schwanengesang and dichterliebe

13:23 22:40 34:35

Sehr gute Interpretation, sowohl stimmlich als auch darstellerisch. Zum Beispiel der Übergang vom 2. zum 3. Lied sehr konzentriert in der Mimik gestaltet. Kein überflüssiges Herumgeschaue. Gratulation!

Wonderful, a successor to Jorma Hynninen??

Is there a video or cd that I can buy?

Imagine that poor girl waking up and finding "The Voice" gone...into the schnee... Schnell! Schnelle, fraulein, bevor der Schnee seine Spuren verwischt!

"Rückblick" your interpretations.

He knows what he is singing which is very nice and it's a captivating performance. I do feel he chops up the lines a bit too much which is a bit of a modern thing, to make it more speech-like, but a more sung presentation gives it more depth in my opinion. Finally for my taste, he is a bit too angry which makes the antagonist less sympathetic.

There is something archetypal about the figure of the Hurdy-Gurdy Man. I recognize him as an image first encountered in my childhood. His origin is Eastern Europe. Why do I think he might be Jewish? The Fiddler on The Roof. The Rag Picker. The Outcast The Stranger among us who has looked upon things we all shy away from and so, we shy away from him all the while knowing he has something wise and terrible to teach us. Someone recently said to me that more than being loved, we need to feel that we belong. I thought about that and it feels right ! Family, Religion, Nation, City Class Sexual orientation Local Sports Team College Fraternity Political party These are things we belong to. We support them. We exalt them. We defend them. We oppose those who attack them. We feel elated when another member of our tribe succeeds. What does it feel like when we belong to no group? Who among us does not belong to any group? The beggar. The homeless The elderly living alone. The black man in a white world. The mis-shapen The grotesque. This is the Hurdy Gurdy man.....the Leiermann The one we fear most because he lives our greatest nightmare. But when we are dying we feel the ultimate alone-ness. We are alive but no longer belong to the world of the living. Perhaps Schubert, who was dying when he wrote this, was making common cause with the Leiermann. Outcasts... together. " May I come along? Will you play my song ?"

Eine sängerisch bemerkenswert gute Interpretation der Winterreise. Die Klavierbegleitung ist allerdings viel zu laut und dominant - das mindert den Hörgenuss (und die künstlerische Gesamtqualität der Liveaufnahme) leider entscheidend, weil Sänger und Pianist akustisch keine Einheit bilden. Wirklich schade. Ich frage mich: Haben die für die Aufnahme Verantwortlichen (Regisseur/Aufnahmeleiter/Tontechniker) da gepennt oder waren hier Amateure am Werk??

A remarkably good vocal interpretation of Winterreise. The piano accompaniment, however, is much too loud and dominant - this unfortunately reduces the listening pleasure (and the overall artistic quality of the live recording) decisively, because singer and pianist do not form an acoustic unit. It's a real shame. I ask myself: Did the people responsible for the recording (director/recording manager/sound engineer) sleep there or were amateurs at work here??

Pas mal, mais il faudrait un peu plus de cohérence.

Half of his notes are straight tones. What an absolute embarrassment.

Impresionante!!!!!!.....

Bravo.. Bravisimo!!!!!
