Title: Hermann Prey - Des Knaben Wunderhorn recording
Post by: hrandall on October 06, 2015, 04:11:14 PM

I stumbled upon this Hermann Prey performance of "Die Antonius von Padua Fischpredigt" on YouTube (piano version) and really liked it:

Anyone know if that can be found on CD, and where?

Prey was hugely underrated, and completely overshadowed by Fischer-Dieskau. I like not only like the slower tempo for this song, but the way he 'swings' the rhythm but putting an accent at the start of each six-note figure. Clean diction too.
