Kathleen Ferrier sings Gustav Mahler's Kindertotenlieder

Oft denk' ich, sie sind nur ausgegangen!
Bald werden sie wieder nach Hause gelangen!
Der Tag ist schön! O sei nicht bang!
Sie machen nur einen weiten Gang!

Jawohl, sie sind nur ausgegangen
Und werden jetzt nach Hause gelangen!
O, sei nicht bang, der Tag is schön!
Sie machen nur den Gang zu jenen Höh'n!

Sie sind uns nur vorausgegangen
Und werden nicht wieder nach Hause verlangen!
Wir holen sie ein auf jenen Höh'n
Im Sonnenschein!
Der Tag is schön auf jenen Höh'n!
___________________________________________

Often I think that they have only stepped out -
and that soon they will reach home again!
The day is fair - O don't be afraid!
They are only taking a long walk.

Yes: they have only stepped out
and will now return home!
O don't be anxious - the day is fair!
They are only taking a walk to those hills.

They have simply gone on ahead:
they will not wish to return home.
We'll catch up to them on those hills
in the sunshine!
The day is fair on those hills.

  • Krista Ludwig.....Karajan....enough said.

  • @VonKarajanBPO You've said plenty. First, that you're a troll, since you have nothing productive to say about this recording. Second, though I prefer Ferrier to Ludwig in this repertoire, at least I know how to spell her name - Christa.

  • Listen to all the recordings of Kathleen Ferrier that you can. They will make you a better person.

  • I have great respect for KF, but listen to Jessye Norman sing this Lied. It's astounding.

  • this is the most touching thing I have ever listened to...

  • L'être humain est capable des pires méfaits mais aussi de sublime oeuvre. Merci Gustav de nous réconcilier avec cette humanité.

  • Danke schoen, violin.

  • blue again

  • Schubert, Mozart, Hunt-Lieberson and Ferrier. Their short lives will be remembered forever. Like Lorraine, Kathleen always sang straight from the heart.

  • Meest zuivere uitvoering, wat een ster. Wat een inlevingsvermogen. Mijn idool.
