Die Nacht ( Night) - Kiri Te Kanawa & Georg Solti

"Die Nacht"
Georg Solti-Accompanist
Free Trade Hall, 1990.
∞∞∞
Out from the forest night steps forth,
Stealing quietly from the trees
And gazing far and wide about her,
Have a care!
All the world's lights,
All flowers, all colours
She extinguishes, and steals
The sheaves, from the field.
She takes everything of beauty,
Takes the silver from the stream,
The gold from the cathedral's
Copper roof.
The bush stands despoiled:
Draw closer, soul to soul,
Oh, I fear the night
May steal you, too, from me.
∞∞∞
Aus dem Walde tritt die Nacht,
Aus den Bäumen schleicht sie leise,
Schaut sich um im weitem Kreise,
Nun gib acht.
Alle Lichter dieser Welt,
Alle Blumen, alle Farben
Löscht sie aus und stiehlt die Garben
Weg vom Feld.
Alles nimmt sie, was nur hold,
Nimmt das Silber weg des Stromes
Nimmt vom Kupferdach des Domes
Weg das Gold.
Ausgeplündert steht der Strauch,
Rücke näher, Seel an Seele;
O die Nacht, mir bangt, sie stehle
Dich mir auch.

Liriki, estava pensando a mesma coisa deste video! I would love to see more of this on here--Amethyst, are there interviews, etc? This is definitely Dame Kiri in her vocal prime. Awesome.

[Amethyst888]

Yes there are interviews on the video,,give me a few days and will post more.. :-)

[Liriki3]

Penso que este vídeo é retirado do VHS " O Maestro e a Diva" É o único que me falta da Kiri e não é possível arranjar, nem importado. Se fosse possível colocarem mais vídeos deste momento seria maravilhoso...

[Amethyst888]

Liriki, yes this is from the "The Maestro and the Diva"..

I loveeeee Kiri's "Lied" singing...pieces like this, and all her Schubert, just suits her voice so well. She's so expressive, it's just such a great outlet to show off her voice. Breathtaking.

This is a beautiful rendition. She looks so elegant and i love her facial expressions as she tells this story. Such a clear, pleasant voice.

Thank you so much ^^

This is another "very hard, almost impossible to get" video.

she just radiates beauty through her face, her voice, her presence, and her readings. there is not a more captivating soprano
