Just now I was listening to Thomas Quasthoff singing "Das Wandern", from the song cycle Die Schöne Müllerin by Schubert. Apart from the fine singing, I also appreciated how accompanist Justus Zeyen on the piano varied his playing to highlight the differences in the lyrics of each verse, even though the music is exactly the same. I closed my eyes the better to listen, and suddenly I started tearing up. How beautiful!
