Today's album (3) was Franz Schubert, (Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau - Gerald Moore) Schwanengesang, D. 597. There are a lot of Schubert records. I'm sure I've heard this record before, I just didn't know it. The music belonged in my dad's room. It was pretty, calm, with an undercurrent of sadness. I love Fischer-Dieskau on other albums and this wasn't disappointing. The recording was from Abschied, a Rellstab poem. It sounds mostly like a happy light song, but there are touches of sadness as if the singer is leaving somewhere the deeply love. I don't speak German, but looking at the translation there is a line that briefly goes minor and... “Darf ich hier nicht weilen, muss hier vorbei” - “I cannot linger, I must go on” - then back to the happy tune again. We will listen to this one again. #Schubert #fischerdieskau #geraldmoore #classical #vinyl #album #grief #records https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOWtkuubHI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
