Robin Hendrix, mezzo-soprano, sings Richard Strauss' wonderful lieder, Allerseelen, All Saints Day. Michel Prezman accompanies this performance recorded in Holland, Oct 2008. The song tells of a man who arrives at the grave of his beloved with the mignonettes and astors that are traditionally left on each grave on All Souls Day, Oct 31. He urges his love to extend her hand to his, regardless of anyone seeing, and to gaze on him tenderly as she did in May. One day of the year the dead are free to be with the living, he cries, so come to my heart, that I may have you again, as I did in May.
