The story behind this song: Blondel, a medieval troubadour, is parting. During a long journey from castle to castle, he sought his imprisoned king and friend and pupil Richard Lionheart, singing his songs in front of the towers. Finally Richard answered him, because he knew the song and voice. There are at least two castles, where this might have been: Trifels in the Rhine Palatinate, or Dürnstein upon the Danube.
The website "Schubertlied. de" (well, it's in German) shows a facsimile of the text source, a novelette in a Viennese periodical from 1818 by an Austrian noblewoman. The scene is: Richard and Blondel together are bidding farewell to Marie. Richard is flattering, but Blondel is sad and longing. When he is singing the song, she is falling in love with him.
Thank you!! Adorable always Matthias Goerne.
My pleasure Rosa!
@@arnoldvdwaals Another bis!! 😊🌹
Where are these all from? Which sing cycle? Op #? I am itching to learn them.
These are stand alone songs and not from any song cycle.

I guess I am quite randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to stream new movies online?
