Thomas Hampson Sings Rast
Thomas Hampson is perhaps better known as one of the leading singers of Mahler lieder of our time, but he’s also recorded Schubert’s songs, such as Volume 14 of Hyperion’s Schubert edition.
Here is Hampson singing Rast. He is, perhaps, a bit gloomy in this performance, and this could be, in part, because of the lack of an audience. But Hampson’s introspective yet forceful style comes through here very well. I like this performance. Listen to the way he sings the final line, “Mit heißem Stich sich regen!”
