I'm saluting the Welsh Rugby victory today. I'm also celebrating the great voice and gigantic personality of Bryn Terfel. The scenery, culture and music of Wales and their male voice choirs that are second to none. Plus... one of my lads was over in Swansea a week or two ago playing football against their university!

Prayer for healing. My thanks to dear Glenmed for all his patience, helping me figure out how to upload a video, and more important, how to add text.

Recorded 20 September 1954
At Watford Town Hall, near London

Recorded 1965 with Georg Szell and the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra (NOT the LSO as the video gives).
Interesting that a couple of years ago Renee Fleming picked this recording as one of her 8 "Desert Island Discs".
The video response is Elisabeth's rendition of the first two of these songs "Fruehling" and "September"

Watched the wonderful Karita Mattila doing this. Was keen to understand better what this music was saying. Schwarzkopf's recording is offered here with German and English subtitles. The English translation is not word-for-word. Instead, I tried to catch the scansion and some of the poetic imagery in Wagner's phrases. If any German speaker can suggest a correction or two, I will be most grateful.
