The Great Jessye Norman (Strauss Im Abendrot -- VIDEO)
Richard Strauss (1864-1949)
From Vier Letzte Lieder (Four Last Songs):
Im Abendrot (At Sunset)
Jessye Norman (1945-2019), soprano
Orchestre de la Suisse romande conducted by Wolfgang Sawallisch
Recorded in 1979
Text (Joseph von Eichendorff):
We have through sorrow and joy
gone hand in hand;
From our wanderings, let’s now rest
in this quiet land.
Around us, the valleys bow
as the sun goes down.
Two larks soar upwards
dreamily into the light air.
Come close, and let them fly.
Soon it will be time for sleep.
Let’s not lose our way
in this solitude.
O vast, tranquil peace,
so deep in the evening’s glow!
How weary we are of wandering---
Is this perhaps death?
Wir sind durch Not und Freude
gegangen Hand in Hand;
vom Wandern ruhen wir
nun überm stillen Land.
Rings sich die Täler neigen,
es dunkelt schon die Luft.
Zwei Lerchen nur noch steigen
nachträumend in den Duft.
Tritt her und laß sie schwirren,
bald ist es Schlafenszeit.
Daß wir uns nicht verirren
in dieser Einsamkeit.
O weiter, stiller Friede!
So tief im Abendrot.
Wie sind wir wandermüde--
Ist dies etwa der Tod?
