Heine's love poetry often contains sar- castic references to Romantic ideals, symbols, and means of expression. Scholarship is mixed as to whether Schumann's treatment of Heine's poems contains any such references. Cannot hear any sarcasm in Vinogradov's supreme interpretation and doubt whether it exists in this wonderfully expressive song. Your slow motion images are a creative addition to Vinogradov's fine performance! Thank you, Linda!
Thank you for this comment. No, I don't think Heine had got around to being sarcastic yet. I love the otherworldly tone of this set.
