Schubert - Winterreise - "Die Wetterfahne", Hans Hotter, Gerald Moore

Franz Schubert (1797-1828) - Die Winterreise
"Die Wetterfahne"
Hans Hotter, Bariton
Gerald Moore, Klavier


Der Wind spielt mit der Wetterfahne
Auf meines schönen Liebchens Haus.
Da dacht' ich schon in meinem Wahne,
Sie pfiff den armen Flüchtling aus.

Er hätt' es eher bemerken sollen,
Des Hauses aufgestecktes Schild,
So hätt' er nimmer suchen wollen
Im Haus ein treues Frauenbild.

Der Wind spielt drinnen mit den Herzen
Wie auf dem Dach, nur nicht so laut.
Was fragen sie nach meinen Schmerzen ?
Ihr Kind ist eine reiche Braut.

People should remember that the texts are the creation of Wilhelm Muller, not Schubert's own. Muller was an insufficiently appreciated talent from an area near the Elbe further north than the Viennese Schubert. Too many people interpret the tragic Winterreise as an expression of Schubert's personality - Schubert showed great sympathy and imagination in setting Muller's poems, but people should remember the texts are by Muller.

@Lactoris1

Yes, that's true, thanks for clarify it. Although Schubert "connected" with the tragic nature of the poems in a special way, as he was very deeply touched/ill cause of Beethoveen's death. So afaik, and in someway, it was an expression of his intimate feelings during these moments. Though the merit for the poems belongs to Muller, of course.
