Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)

"Våren" / Last Spring - from Twelve Songs after Poems by Aasmund Olavsson Vinje op.33

Anne Sofie von Otter, mezzo-soprano
Bengt Forsberg, piano
1992

Våren:
Enno ein Gong fekk eg Vetren å sjå
for Våren å røma;
Heggen med Tre som der Blomar var på,
eg atter såg bløma.
Enno ein Gong fekk eg Isen å sjå
frå Landet å fljota,
Snjoen å bråna og Fossen i Å
at fyssa og brjota.
Graset det grøne eg enno ein Gong
fekk skoda med Blomar;
enno eg høyrde at Vårfuglen song
mot Sol og mot Sumar.

Eingong eg sjølv i den vårlege Eim,
som mettar mit Auga,
eingong eg der vil meg finna ein Heim
og symjande lauga.
Alt det, som Våren imøte meg bar
og Blomen, eg plukkad',
Federnes Ånder eg trudde det var,
som dansad og sukkad',
Derfor eg fann millom Bjørkar og Bar
i Våren ei Gåta;
derfor det Ljod i den Fløyta eg skar,
meg tyktes at gråta.

  • cantorandopera -> a new dimension to the ethereal quality ...

    Oops, yes, with a good fantasy you can almost pull out anything.

  • @ForAll23 the beauty of this performance is beyond description . . . the piano alone brings out a new dimension to the ethereal quality of the piece. when an artist commits to a composition, we are the lucky ones to be able to experience it through their musical soul.

  • To just have the piano accompaniment as support is a bit vacuous.

  • Von Otter is perhaps the greatest lyric mezzo since Rise Stevens.
