Could you repeat that in English? I wish I could understand what you think about it ;)

Das Lied ist toll und so, aber ich versteh die Bilder zwischendurch nicht ...

[IngramoschFelshammer]

Naja, der Regisseur hat das ganze mehr oder weniger auf "Moderne Gesellschaftskritik" getrimmt, fand ich von der Inszenierung her teilweise auch nicht sooo toll gelungen. Aber man kann's sich ja nicht aussuchen ^^

It sounds really nice... but it also seems like it would get boring to play after a while.

[IngramoschFelshammer]

Why is that? ^^

The opening bars, and its recurring theme, might lead one to wonder whether Humperdinck, who composed his opera in 1891-92 might have been influenced by the Navy Hymn, "Eternal Father, Strong to Save," which original hymn was written by William Whiting of Winchester, England, in 1860. In any case, a lovely performance here.
