Renee Fleming sings Richard Strauss: Cäcilie

Wenn du es wüßtest,
Was träumen heißt von brennenden Küssen,
Von Wandern und Ruhen mit der Geliebten,
Aug in Auge,
Und kosend und plaudernd,
Wenn du es wüßtest,
Du neigtest dein Herz!

Wenn du es wüßtest,
Was bangen heißt in einsamen Nächten,
Umschauert vom Sturm, da niemand tröstet
Milden Mundes die kampfmüde Seele,
Wenn du es wüßtest,
Du kämest zu mir.

Wenn du es wüßtest,
Was leben heißt, umhaucht von der Gottheit
Weltschaffendem Atem,
Zu schweben empor, lichtgetragen,
Zu seligen Höhn,
Wenn du es wüßtest,
Du lebtest mit mir!
(Heinrich Hart)

Carl Vendler

All of you critics? Learn how to sing in different languages until then shut the muck up! You're just a bunch of jealous queens my boys, you've got opinions up your butt holes.

@RVP57 What you call dreadful, I call exciting!

[linasozinho]

she sings with a bad pronounciation and I don't absolutely like all those "portamento"... I love Fleming, but not in this kind of music...

[RVP57]

Dreadful. absolutely dreadful.
