Rubinstein: Sechs Lieder Op.72 – Es blinkt der Tau (Boddien) – (The Dew Gleams)


A wonderful recording of long forgotten songs by Anton Rubinstein.
Beautiful voice, elegant piano, a gem not to be missed.

The dew gleams on the grass in the night,
the moon passes by in quiet splendor,
the nightingale sings in the bushes.
Hovering over the meadows in twilight,
the whole spring is fragrant,
we two wander through it all.

O Spring, how you are beautiful!
To wander through the intoxicating blossoms
on your arm your trembling love,
with the first heavenly kiss,
and firmly embracing the foolish wish,
that it will last forever.

(Gustav von Boddien, translated by the multi-talented Hélène Lindqvist )
