[clytemnestre1]

Ok with Gerard Souzay but ... Should be usefull to listen to Thomas Questoff in the same piece....

[tenorjamestaylor]

Only French singer worth a hill of beans in the last 100 years. Amazing his German.

Uh... what about Cambon or Thill? 

[pkrdy3]

Who is the accompanist on this recording?

[SoulNotes1]

Thanks for this absolute gem of a voice and this beautiful lieder. Stupendous Souzay!

Für mich der grösste Bariton-Liedrsänger

[vonspre]

I am coming, I am coming! but whither? To where? Upwards I strive, upwards! The clouds float downwards, the clouds bow down to yearning love. To me! To me! In your lap upwards! Embracing, embraced! Upwards to your bosom, All-loving Father!

[vonspre]

(3) I am coming, I am coming! but whither? To where? Upwards I strive, upwards! The clouds float downwards, the clouds bow down to yearning love. To me! To me! In your lap upwards! Embracing, embraced! Upwards to your bosom, All-loving Father!

[vonspre]

(2) Ah, at your breast

I lie and languish,

and your flowers and your grass

press themselves to my heart.

You cool the burning

thirst of my breast,

lovely morning wind!

The nightingale calls

lovingly to me from the misty vale.

[vonspre]

(1) How in the morning light

you glow around me,

beloved Spring!

With love's thousand-fold bliss,

to my heart presses

the eternal warmth

of sacred feelings

and endless beauty!

Would that I could clasp

you in these arms!
