Franz Schubert: An Die Musik, D 547 - Felicity Lott

Franz Schubert: An Die Musik, D 547

Du holde Kunst, in wieviel grauen Stunden,
Wo mich des Lebens wilder Kreis umstrickt,
Hast du mein Herz zu warmer Lieb entzunden,
Hast mich in eine beßre Welt entrückt!

Oft hat ein Seufzer, deiner Harf' entflossen,
Ein süßer, heiliger Akkord von dir
Den Himmel beßrer Zeiten mir erschlossen,
Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür!
Translation:

O gracious Art, in how many grey hours
When life's fierce orbit encompassed me,
Have you kindled my heart to warm love,
And charmed me into a better world!

Oft has a sigh, issuing from your harp,
A sweet, blessed chord of yours,
Thrown open the heaven of better times;
O gracious Art, for that I thank you!

Wonderful. Thank you for posting. Did you manually take screenshots and painstakingly synchronize them with the music? If so, double-thanks!

[civileso]

I most certainly did ;)

Thanks for recognizing the effort, I appreciate it. :)

I adore this song. I'm going to sing it for my senior recital. :) I hope I do Schubert some justice!

Thank you for uploading :)

"wilder Kreis umstrickt" ist grausam, diese Sängerin ist eine Katastrophe.

[Spanglefeather]

Is the music is in the key she is singing, or maybe one and a half steps lower?

[kofiya]

Das Lied ist der ideale Lackmustest, ob ein Sänger deutsche Romantik versteht. Sie tut es leider überhaupt nicht.

[AtemiRaven]

I am actually performing this piece as a baritone for competition next weekend, I find this to be very helpful mate :)

Thank you for uploading.

I love this song! I sang it in my 2001/02 college year for Voice when we had to pick a foreign art piece.

"Felicity Lott".

All by herself???

If you really want to listen to the greatest version of this song listen to - Thomas Quasthoff & Andras Schiff perform Schubert (3) its on 7 minute

Not sure what a "true 'Schubert voice' is - didn't think he had that label attached to his Lieder.

This is wonderful and I think his gift was to bring out the very best in the very best singers because his songs are so strong, cope well with (some) transposing and can be interpreted in so many ways.

I love this, love Fritz, worshp Lucia and just adore Christa - all very different singers, with very different voices. Love them all.
