German Faust on youtube

I was checking youtube for some German Faust-clips tonight and I actually found some really good stuff.

- This clip might be intersting especially for the German students who have to read the Gretchen/Margret part.
--> It is an interpretation of Franz Schubert's "Gretchen am Spinnrade" by Karita Mattila - this way you also learn about German classical music ;-)
if you have read Gretchen's line "Meine Ruh' ist hin, Mein Herz ist schwer, ich find sie nimmer und nimmer mehr" - you might recognize the words and even enjoy it :-)

- Also for the German students - or those of you who wanna see what the Germans did with Faust's soliloquy at the very beginning.
--> Tobias Mann, a German comedian doing a "Faust rap" :-) it's really funny even if you don't speak German ;-)

- This is also for those of you who speak German:
--> Comedian Hubert Burghardt does Faust in 5 minutes - it is hillllllaaarious :D he is talking rather fast but because you know the story - maybe you get the hang of it!

- And one more...
Done by Michael Quast and Philipp Mosetter (sophisticated German actors and cabaret artists): Gretchen's Blues
(basically it is their interpretation of Gretchen's soliloquy)
