Ach, um deine feuchten Schwingen, West, wie sehr ich dich beneide: Denn du kannst ihm Kunde bringen Was ich in der Trennung leide! Die Bewegung deiner Flügel Weckt im Busen stilles Sehnen; Blumen, Auen, Wald und Hügel Stehn bei deinem Hauch in Tränen. Doch dein mildes sanftes Wehen Kühlt die wunden Augenlider; Ach, für Leid müsst’ ich vergehen, Hofft’ ich nicht zu sehn ihn wieder. Eile denn zu meinem Lieben, Spreche sanft zu seinem Herzen; Doch vermeid’ ihn zu betrüben Und verbirg ihm meine Schmerzen. Sag ihm, aber sag’s bescheiden: Seine Liebe sei mein Leben, Freudiges Gefühl von beiden Wird mir seine Nähe geben.
Meredith, you are wholeheartedly wonderful! The ease of everything you do. I'm so glad u are blooming! It is wonderful to see a truly talented musician being displayed.
ANY record label give her a recording contract NOW! she is divine, special and brilliant. wow. has what many lyric sopranos don't...a secure and rich bottom, a darker overall tone, as well as a sense of sincere dramatic impulse. BRAVA!!! her Met Audition win this weekend was WELL deserved.
Completely agree. And so musical, it's outta this world. Esp today with so many being presented on world stages, many of them young, and not even HALF the vocal beauty of M.W. She's the real deal.
Meredith is really the best of the newer crop of sopranos out there, opera or recital world, really & truly. I've listened to so many and she's fantastic. Diction, technique, musicality, expression. And ALWAYS knows exactly what rep best represents her, a real repertoire master.
