Wiegenlied - Diana Damrau, Xavier de Maistre

Breathtaking rendition of Richard Strauss' "Wiegenlied", from a Liederabend Harfe she gave in Baden-Baden with Xavier de Maistre at the harp. He wrote most of the arrangments for the harp from the original piano score (personally, I find that amazing).

Lieben Dank, Babsi!!! :D

Before she starts singing she says:

"The next piece is the cradle-song by Richard Strauss. Although the child is born already [she means the child from the song], I have have to assist at his birth: It's so difficult to turn the page!!"

Dankeschön, Dennis ^^

@jackykellett Sorry I removed your other comment by mistake! Yes, it was originally written for voice and piano, this is an arrangement for harp.

Gorgeous! I saw them perform this at the Edinburgh Festival a couple of weeks ago and the pairing of voice and harp worked really well, even in this, one of my favourite Strauss songs.
