Schumann - Frauenliebe und-leben, Op. 42.
Julius Drake, piano.

Seit ich ihn gesehen,
Glaub ich blind zu sein;
Wo ich hin nur blicke,
Seh ich ihn allein;
Wie im wachen Traume
Schwebt sein Bild mir vor,
Taucht aus tiefstem Dunkel,
Heller nur empor.

Sonst ist licht- und farblos
Alles um mich her,
Nach der Schwestern Spiele
Nicht begehr ich mehr,
Möchte lieber weinen,
Still im Kämmerlein;
Seit ich ihn gesehen,
Glaub ich blind zu sein.

Since I saw him
I believe myself to be blind,
where I but cast my gaze,
I see him alone.
as in waking dreams
his image floats before me,
dipped from deepest darkness,
brighter in ascent.

All else dark and colorless
everywhere around me,
for the games of my sisters
I no longer yearn,
I would rather weep,
silently in my little chamber,
since I saw him,
I believe myself to be blind.

  • She takes this song so slowly, and yet, with her radiance, she can sustain it. Quite beautiful and SO moving. What a tragedy she died so young.

  • The fact she brings a new approach to this worn cycle is admirable. And her warm voice and sensitivity are spectacular

  • Is there any way you can send me the mp3s of this song cycle? I can't find the CD anywhere! It would be much appreciated!
