FAREWELL CONCERT to Gerald Moore at Royal Festival Hall.London 1967. An evening of heavenly music from three great singers, thanking Gerald Moore for his accompanying them over the decades. All artistes are in this first piece of the evening.
Mozart.'Piu non siu trovano'. K549. Full to overflowing. Seats on the platform! A triumphant, big thankyou evening to Gerald Moore, who had accompanied many great singers, over a period of 40 or more years. A great time was had by all. It's at this concert that the famous Rossini Cat's Duet is sung by de los Angeles and Schwarzkopf. Most often played recording on the radio of this piece. More samples will be posted. Enjoy.

GERMAN--
Seligkeit.
Freuden sonder Zahl
Blühn im Himmelssaal
Engeln und Verklärten,
Wie die Väter lehrten.
O da möcht ich sein
Und mich ewig freun!

Jedem lächelt traut
Eine Himmelsbraut;
Harf und Psalter klinget,
Und man tanzt und singet.
O da möcht ich sein
Und mich ewig freun!

Lieber bleib ich hier,
Lächelt Laura mir
Einen Blick, der saget,
Daß ich ausgeklaget.
Selig dann mit ihr,
Bleib ich ewig hier!



English translation---
Bliss.
Joys without number
bloom in heaven's hall
of angels and transfigured beings,
just as our fathers taught us.
O, there I would like to be
and rejoice forever!

Upon everyone dearly smiles
a heavenly bride;
harp and psalter resound,
and everyone dances and sings.
O, there I would like to be
and rejoice forever!

But I'd rather remain here
if Laura would smile at me
with one glance that said
I should end my lamenting.
Blissfully then with her,
I would stay here forever!

In this recital the redoubtable Gerald Moore is the accompanist.
1961.

Schwarzkopf seeking the best from a mezzo soprano. Christine Cairns survives the experience with a smile on her face, in her voice, and it's as fresh at the end as at the begining.
