Bonny vs. Schreier

Barbara Bonny uses great expression with her voice. Even though the video didnt show her singing the song, it wasnt necessary bc of the color, dynamics, fermatas, and tempos that she chose to take. I read the text as I listened to her sing and got a real sense that she new what she was singing about and how to tell a story through her voice alone. Overall I preferred her version of Heidenroslein.
Schreier had good facial expression in the video and that clearly helped him tell the story in the song. I didnt think he expressed the words through his voice as well as Bonney, but since the story is coming from a males perspective, I liked the masculenity of his singing tone.
