Schwarzkopf / Fischer: Nähe Des Geliebten, D. 162 (Schubert)

[casacapella]

Que maravilla.....

[fortepiano44]

Exquisite and atmospheric, a sense of calm, reverie and profound emotional restraint. Schubert and Schwarzkopf at their best.

@lopp3 In fact, several composers did. Including Beethoven, Loewe, Schubert and Schumann. :)

Schwarzkopf sings this in the original key (Gb major) which lies very high, but it adds to the exalted nature of the poem and music. Anneliese Rothenberger takes it down a whole step. It's safer and more comfortable, but not as exciting, I think.
