"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Schubert, ¨An die Musik¨

You, noble Art, in how many grey hours,
When life's mad tumult wraps around me,


Have you kindled my heart to warm love,
Have you transported me into a better world,
Transported into a better world!
Often has a sigh flowing out from your harp,
A sweet, divine harmony from you


Unlocked to me the heaven of better times,
You, noble Art, I thank you for it,
You, noble Art, I thank you!

Elisabeth Schwarzkopf sings, accompanied by Gerald Moore ...
