I appreciate this recording more and more. It was one of the recordings I used to help learn the song, which we performed a few days ago. I used the English translation by Halverson, found under Hakan Hagegard's recording here on YT
This song has been a part of whom I am for over half a century since I first heard it sung by Kirsten Flagstad on a recording. I am deeply moved by your interpretation.
Last spring.. I Love Grieg..as I love Frederick Delius, but "last spring" is sad...(but so beautiful). I have posted one of your videos, on my FB, but many of my friends are asking about you, instead of posting about the whole video, Singer and pianist. but I understand...is your "fault"..you are hyper talented, with an amazing voice, but at the same time, you are really beautiful Marianne, an amazing artist, with an amazing beauty, not very usual.. Please, if you have time..try Frederick Delius..'sounds very similar to Grieg, very "nature", I love Delius.. "Suite Florida", " a "song before sunrise" "intermezzo".."3 poems" " Lullaby for a Modern Baby".. Delius is tenderness.. in particular "lullaby for a modern Baby" 'flute and orchestra" or "3 poems".. so nice! well, I'm sorry if I wrote a "book".. but you are really amazing! bravo Marianne.bravo! you got your fan n.1 here in Normandy France :-) have a bright day.
fabian _france Hello Fabian, and thank you so much for your words! Delius - yes, i know of course well of him, but did not sing any of his songs... i think. I will definitely have a look into it. Warmest wishes, mbk
