As E. Schwarzcopf opined: I can't help it if all the most beautiful song in the world were written in my language. SO TRUE!

[竹内豊-bv]

Wow, what an overwhelming singing voice! I can feel all of your heart.

[brucejackson]

This and IDEALE [Tosti] are my favourite love songs. Each tender and gentle.

[CarmenF]

Esta pieza es realmente bellísima!!! Muy muy especial desde que la oi la primera vez la escucho casi todos los dias, me transmite amor, alegria, ganas de vivir, paz, fe. La oigo antes de dormir porque quiero irme a los brazos de Morfeo llena de estos sentimientos!!! Gracias Diana, hermosísima interpretación ❤

[SingYourselfWell]

Wunderschoen. Hab das auch schon gesungen. Aber niemand singt wie du, Diana. 💖🎶🥰

[myahmotton]

I love her facials they really bring out the meaning of the song

[ernstvandijk]

Großartig, Diana! Für solche fabelhafte Stimme möchte ich auch mal ein Lied schreiben! Schöne Akustik auch.

[cherylfontaine]

Du meine Seele, du mein Herz, 
Du meine Wonn’, o du mein Schmerz, 
Du meine Welt, in der ich lebe, 
Mein Himmel du, darein ich schwebe, 
O du mein Grab, in das hinab
Ich ewig meinen Kummer gab!
Du bist die Ruh, du bist der Frieden, 
Du bist vom Himmel mir beschieden.
Dass du mich liebst, macht mich mir wert, 
Dein Blick hat mich vor mir verklärt, 
Du hebst mich liebend über mich, 
Mein guter Geist, mein bess’res Ich!

Now, THAT'S a voice. Not the best in the world. But what counts is that she FEELS it! All about interpretation. Often, in the singing of leider and opera, what counts is 'the occasion' - the mood of the singer and the audience. A half-good singer on a good night in the right mood can deliver the most memorable evening of your life. Callas used to do that. Sometimes she sang flat, but it did not matter. You glossed over. There is far too much seeking for excellence in our contemporary Classical music world. Nellie Melba and Adelina Patti would have been boo-ed off. But that wasn't the point. Those artists delivered what the audience expected of them in them days. In the interpretation of serious music we we do not need 'experts' - what we need is personalities and individualism.

It’s a truly beautiful poem set to amazing music. Why nobody composes like this anymore?

* en tamién es esta una Música di Madrit, Didí (with Pianisto und Co.), Ea-Óle Viva Madrit Viva Ezspánña. //// Recuerdo la última vez que acudí, Estos Dos nél Teatro de La Zarzuela Ciclo de Lied, soltó la Didí así como 7 Propinas, no fueron menos.

came here from the piano version played by Beatrice Rana Liszt transcription. Text by Rückert whom I had heard about through a Cincinnati Orchestra production of the Mahler songs probably conducted by Thomas Schippers. The set design was pretty radical for Cincinnati and would have garnered disapproval from Hamilton co prosecutor Joe Deters.

Are Lieder for multi-tessitura? I mean, can the same Lied be sung from Soprano to Bass only arranging the score for each voice type?

I don't know if I expressed myself correctly.
