Auf Flugeln des Gesanges (Felix Mendelssohn) - Susanna Phillips and Craig Terry
Description on Youtube:
Susanna Phillips and Craig Terry in a live performance at Alice Tully Hall, 19 November 2009. Auf Flügeln des Gesanges, Op. 34, No. 2 Text: Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) Translation: Marty Lucas On Wings of Song On wings of song, my love, I'll carry you away to the fields of the Ganges Where I know the most beautiful place. There lies a red-flowering garden, in the serene moonlight, the lotus-flowers await Their beloved sister. The violets giggle and cherish, and look up at the stars, The roses tell each other secretly Their fragant fairy-tales. The gentle, bright gazelles, pass and listen; and in the distance murmurs The waves of the holy stream. There we will lay down, under the palm-tree, and drink of love and peacefulness And dream our blessed dream
