Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau sings Schubert - Der Erlkönig! The fantastic tale of a father racing through the forest (on horseback - represented by the repeated notes in the right hand of the piano) with his ill son. Only the boy can hear the calls of the evil Elf King, trying to lure the boy away from his father. In the end, the father reaches home but too late - the boy dies.
Also, if you can do anything with this much intensity and sincerity, you are as awesome as Dietrich.
