A Timeless Duet — Engelbert Humperdinck and Helene Fischer Breathe New Life Into “Please Release Me” on German TV

Berlin, 2019 — On a glittering stage filled with velvet lighting and timeless charm, two generations of music royalty stood side by side. Engelbert Humperdinck, the legendary crooner known for his deep, velvety voice and iconic ballads, joined forces with Helene Fischer, Germany’s modern pop queen, in an unforgettable rendition of “Please Release Me.”

The performance, part of the highly anticipated Die Helene Fischer Show, was not just a duet — it was a masterclass in elegance and emotional storytelling. Dressed in a classic black tuxedo, Engelbert began with the first verse, his voice still rich and commanding, bringing with it decades of memories.

Then Helene joined in — radiant in a floor-length, silver gown — her voice soaring in harmony, turning the heartbreak anthem into a stunning dialogue between past and present.

The chemistry was undeniable. Their eyes met. Their voices danced around one another. And when the final note faded, the audience rose in thunderous applause, many visibly moved.
