Johannes Brahms - "Lerchengesang" Fischer-Dieskau, Barenboim

A lovely little song by Brahms, one of my favorites.
Lerchengesang
Ätherische ferne Stimmen,
Der Lerchen himmlische Grüße,
Wie regt ihr mir so süße
Die Brust, ihr lieblichen Stimmen!
Ich schließe leis mein Auge,
Da ziehn Erinnerungen
In sanften Dämmerungen
Durchweht vom Frühlingshauche.
Carl August Candidus (1817-1872)
Song of the Larks
Ethereal, distant voices,
The heavenly greetings of the larks:
How sweetly you move
My heart, you lovely voices!
I close my eyes gently;
There pass memories
Of soft twilights,
Pervaded with the breath of Spring.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (baritone)
Daniel Barenboim (piano)

Brahms' lieder is second to none...

One of the loveliest things I've ever experienced anywhere.
I like to put this on an infinity loop--I call that "sampling heaven".
Thank you.

Isn't it a great song? I don't think it's performed much but I fell in love with it when I heard this recording. Love the way the piano continues the thought after the singing ends. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you. I have never heard this before, and it is wonderful.

This is so beautifully made with the scenery and the birds at rest and in flight. Fidi sings well, and softly, on this. I really love this. Thank you.
