Frühling

March 20, 2016

“Frühling (Spring)” from “Vier Letzte Lieder (Four Last Songs)” by Richard Strauss, sung by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, with Sir Georg Solti conducting the BBC Symphonic Orchestra. A poem by Herman Hesse set to music.

“In dämmrigen Grüften
träumte ich lang
von deinen Bäumen und blauen Lüften,
von deinem Duft und Vogelsang.”

“In dim crypts
I long dreamt
of your trees and blue air,
of your scent and birdsong.”
