Programme
Robert Schumann (1810-56)
Liederkreis Op.24
Morgens steh’ ich auf und frage
Es treibt mich hin
Ich wandelte über den Bäumen
Lieb’ Liebchen
Schöne Wiege meiner Leiden
Warte, warte, wilde Schiffmann
Berg und Burgen schaun herunter
Anfangs wollt’ ich fast verzagen
Mit Myrten und Rosen
Gustav Mahler (1860-1911)
Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen
Wenn mein Schatz Hochzeit macht
Ging heut’ Morgen übers Feld
Ich hab’ ein glühend Messer
Die zwei blauen Augen von meinem Schatz
Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)
Songs of Travel
The vagabond
Let Beauty awake
The roadside fire
Youth and love
In dreams
The infinite shining heavens
Whither must I wander
Bright is the ring of words
I have trod the upward and downward slope
