The great German soprano Lotte Lehmann sings Reynaldo Hahn's French mélodie "L'Énamourée", about a poem written by Théodore de Banville in October, 1859. Piano: Paul Ulanowsky. Recorded on March 9th, 1949.
"L'ÉNAMOURÉE" by Théodore de Banville
Ils se disent, ma colombe, Que tu rêves, morte encore, Sous la pierre d'une tombe : Mais pour l'âme qui t'adore, Tu t'éveilles ranimée, Ô pensive bien-aimée !
Par les blanches nuits d'étoiles, Dans la brise qui murmure, Je caresse tes longs voiles, Ta mouvante chevelure, Et tes ailes demi-closes Qui voltigent sur les roses !
Ô délices ! je respire Tes divines tresses blondes ! Ta voix pure, cette lyre, Suit la vague sur les ondes, Et, suave, les effleure, Comme un cygne qui se pleure !

Audio with a few pictures...I'm rather surprised these exquisite, simple, charming and historically significant recordings are not available on CD!
La lune blanche luit dans les bois. De chaque branche part une voix sous la ramée. Ô bien aimée... L'étang reflète, profond miroir, la silhouette du saule noir où le vent pleure. Rêvons, c'est l'heure. Un vaste et tendre apaisement semble descendre du firmament que l'astre irise. C'est l'heure exquise!
The Time of Delight
The white moon shines in the woods. From each branch springs a voice beneath the arbor. Oh my beloved... The pond reflects, like a deep mirror, the silhouette of the black willow where the wind weeps. Let us dream! It is the hour. A vast and tender calm seems to descend from a sky made iridescent by the moon. It is the exquisite hour!
Translation by Grant A. Lewis
recorded in Paris, 1929 (Odeon 188579), by Ninon Vallin with Reynaldo Hahn on piano
Hahn composed this song while still a student at the the Paris Conservatoire, and first sang it (he had a fine light baritone voice) in the presence of Verlaine himself.

"Tyndaris" , from Études Latines, no. 7.
O blanche Tyndaris, les Dieux me sont amis: Ils aiment les Muses Latines; Et l'aneth et le myrte et le thym des collines Croissent aux prés qu'ils m'ont soumis.
Viens! mes ramiers chéris, aux voluptés plaintives, Ici se plaisent à gémir; Et sous l'épais feuillage il est doux de dormir Au bruit des sources fugitives.
Tyndaris
Oh, white Tyndaris, the gods are friends to me: They love the Latin Muses; And dill and myrtle and thyme from the hills Thrive in the meadows they gave me.
Come! My beloved ring-doves, delighting in grief, Here are pleased to moan; And beneath dense leaves it is sweet to sleep To the sound of running springs.
Translation from French to English by Richard Stokes

I was watching your La Cenerentola videos and I absolutely love them. I wanted to get a DVD or video of it, and I was wondering if you could tell me which DVD/version of La Cenerentola you have posted, and/or where it is available. I would be so grateful!
