Der Rosenkavalier - San Francisco Opera, 1950

[fyeahoperasingers]

I’ll be posting Mahler’s ‘Kindertotenlieder’, Songs on the Death of Children, in its entirety over the next few days.  I believe you know why.

Baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau sings the first song, ‘Nun will die Sonn’ so hell aufgeh’n.’ Conducted by Lorin Maazel.

"Now the sun wants to rise as brightly"

"...In this weather, in this gale, in this windy storm,

they rest as if in their mother's house:

frightened by no storm,

sheltered by the Hand of God."
