Great links, and a real nostalgia trip for me. When I was a little kid, my father taught a regular college course in German Lieder, and he'd invite each class to our apartment one evening for an informal Lieder recital of some of the works they'd studied. The wife of a colleague of my father's, also a family friend, was a superb mezzo; she'd sing, and my father would accompany her. I'd go to sleep listening to Die Schöne Müllerin and Die Forelle and Der Erlkönig drifting in from the living room. When I played your clip of the latter and he got to the line Mein Vater, mein Vater, which had always sent chills up my spine, I could suddenly hear her voice singing it over the sound of our piano, clear as day, in my mind's ear. Sounds from a priviledged childhood :-)

But with all the Love he expressed in life it is must be in a nice place indeed. It's a great joy to have met Beethoven in Boppard. Having lots of old stuff to straighten out, like we all have, he is today very much in the Movement and is a full-time Governor. He is a fellow who takes the challenges of life in this incarnation very very seriously. He's deaf as an oyster but does not seem to care much. I also met Mozart in Seelisberg very briefly. He took a quick incarnation as a woman, had Darshan of Maharishi, became a Governor, did a 6-months course, then to everyones surprize, dropped the body of natural causes with a heart-attac. He/she was gone remarkably fast, mid 20's. When I saw her she was busy talking to her Buddy. Her skin was remarable, she was shining as if on fire. Only her/his Buddy would know the real details of that life. Then there is Bjorling. It is impossible not to include Bjorling in the very great singers of this planet, and particulary in his interpretation of Schubert; (Schanengesang) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_Wt9FORobMNR=1

As it turns out, one of my friends in college was an extraordinarily talented folk singer/writer/ guitarist named Steve Gillette. Classically trained, he wrote the well-known folk song Darcy Farrow as part of his Masters thesis in music, passing it off as a recently rediscovered folk song from the Tahoe area. In reality, he wrote it, and fooled music scholars for some time before he 'fessed up. He also wrote his own folk music version of Der Erlkonig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCAfrJZDwyc
