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.

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. 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.

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 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.

HOLY FUCK what a pianist!!!

The pianist is so great !

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.

This version of Der Erlkönig is wonderful Philippe. I've come back to it over and over.

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!

He is marvelous. So is the pianist. They are a true collaboration, which is why this is called collaborative piano at music departments.

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.

Awesome performance by Maria Fuller. unbelievable.

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 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.

(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!

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!!

just the right fierceness at the piano, and excellent singing and timbre of voice.. thank you.. this is wonderful!

Wow, the singer is great! His acting is great! And the pianist... oh god... no words about how amazing she is.

Wonderful performance, both are serious artists. No mannerisms, just pure music. Bravo!

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 !

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。

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 singing is magnificent . Presenting three characters (father, young son, Erlkönig) and the narrator - that’s art.

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. :-)

Ich finde dies immer und immer stärker und tiefer, immer tiefer. Schönsten Dank!

Realy amazing. Definitly one of the best performances I've ever seen.

Brava, Maria Fuller!!! Super Baßführung der linken(!) Hand, das gibt dem schönen, lyrischen Ton von Philippe Sly ein gutes und sattes, dunkles Fundament. Danke!

Just spectacular. Thank you! 💜

I’ve listened to this performance fifty times if I’ve heard it once, and this morning it still brought me goosebumps. Bravo!

After countless times of listening to this performance, still every time I get goosebumps. Amazing singer, and a spectacular concertmaster. Perfect duet, Bravo.

Good heavens!!! GREAT voice, GREAT pianist, GREAT preformance!!! Big applause!!! Standing ovation!!!

Wow. Great work from both of you. I LOVE the pianist's face near the end! Priceless.

this is so beautiful, truly! Had goosebumps throughout the entire performance! ☺️

Excellent performance! Thank you for sharing! Also a big praise for the pianist, she did also a great job! :)

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!

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! 🙏🏻

Excelente interpretación. Felicitaciones a ambos. Una gran voz y una excelente pianista. Saludos desde Chile

This is probably the best interpretation I've heard. Bravo.

You both gave an amazing performance, plenty of emotion. Schubert would probably be applauding :)

Amazing! Very talented performers. Congratulations.

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!

Oh goodness! That voice! :D So AMAZING!

wow this is fantastic! classy interpretation and that accompanist is just outstanding

Just perfect!

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.

Great voice, great expression, fantastic piano!

Bravo!!! The singer did a great performance and the pianist it's perfect! Both are incredible! Congratz!

Heartbreaking song perfectly performed by Mr Sly and pianist.

Wonderful performance by singer and pianist!!

Excellent singer and excellent pianist!

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

He has a beautiful lyric baritone voice with a beautiful tenor quality.

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!
