Gustav Mahler (1860-1911)


Symphony n° 2 in C minor IV "Urlicht". Sehr feierlich, aber schlicht.

Jessye Norman, mezzo-soprano.


"Musicians against nuclear arms concert", January 8, 1984.

Conducted by Leonard Bernstein
1984

O Röschen rot,
Der Mensch liegt in größter Not,
Der Mensch liegt in größter Pein,
Je lieber möcht' ich im Himmel sein.
Da kam ich auf einem breiten Weg,
Da kam ein Engelein und wollt' mich abweisen.
Ach nein, ich ließ mich nicht abweisen!
Ich bin von Gott und will wieder zu Gott,
Der liebe Gott wird mir ein Lichtchen geben,
Wird leuchten mir bis in das ewig selig' Leben!
_

  • die Musik und die Interpretin machen mich fertig....soviel Schönheit hinterläßt (sofern man noch eine Spur Realitätssinn hat) einfach nur unermeßliche Aggressivität.

  • @Glenmed some Germans say 'ewig'/'selig', but most of us say 'ewich'/'selich' as Jessye does here; both is usual and both is correct. generally her pronounciatione is absolutely perfect!

  • I went to see her many times .Once at the Albert hall singing Mahler she lifted the roof off and i could have wept .i wrote to her and she very kindly sent me a photo signed . Which takes pride and place in my room . Brian

  • MARAVILLOSA, Jessye Norman, MARAVILLOSA. Maravilloso Bernstein. Irrepetible Mahler.

  • She is always so perfect!

  • Excuse me, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to get back to the ALTAR I'M BUILDING TO JESSYE NORMAN in my livingroom!!! Talk about a force of nature!

  • Hermosisima - Jessye tiene una voz maravillosa. Fenomenal!!

  • @Glenmed: The High German ich-laut is the standard in Western art music.

  • This would have been absolutely PERFECT were it not for the trumpet playing the choral with a lifted style as opposed to the legato. Absolutely angelic otherwise. Jessye's voice is so beautifully angelic I can't help but be brought to tears. Bravo

  • great urlicht!
