Although the individual who posted it didn’t identify the singer, there is no doubt that it is the late Margaret Price with Graham Johnson on keyboard. I wish he had posted an English translation. It’s the story of a widower visited by the spirit of his beloved wife on a winter evening. It’s one of Schubert’s greatest songs.

If I have the opportunity, I'll research it this weekend - I have a compendium of Schubert's songs - for high voice, of course - and it's probably in there.

I have worked on many a song by Schubert over the years, and I have yet to find a bad one.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
