Du bist wie eine Blume - You are like a flower - Kiri Te Kanawa & Richard Amner

"Du bist wie eine Blume" By Robert Schumann
∞∞∞
You are like a flower,
So pleasing, and fair and pure;
I look at you, and sadness
Comes stealing over me.
I feel the need to lay my hands
In blessing, on your hair
Praying that may God keep you ever
As pure and fair and pleasing.

A dream ,one of Robert Schumann's most beautiful songs.

When I was young I sung this song too, but what you certainly do not know is that the poem of Heine which are the lyrics of Schuman's song, Heine wrote as a spiting image to an very old and ugly lady. Thats black houmor! <3 <3 <3 Jimmy.

SO beautiful!! When I was first learning this song, Kiri Te Kanawa's version is the one I used as my guide. It's definitely the best I've heard!

Very subtle and tender performance. I do like this, and think it fit's the context of the song very well.

I realy like this piece (and I am currenly working on it) and I really like the dynamic work and facial expression she puts into it. Also I just enjoy this piece by Schumann.

I am currently singing this piece and although I do love Kiri, I think that she takes it just a touch too slow. Such a gorgeous art song by Schumann however.

Heinrich Heine wrote that poem.... It was written for Therese Heine. I just found out that Schumann composed the music to it later.

I love her. So much.

[nickarageorgiou]

i am in love her her voice. there is just something about it that is very tender yet completely robust at the same time.

couldn't have picked a better song.

@lydiadugan Absolutely no doubt. This is Kiri's face and her voice also. :)
