Jonas Kaufmann ✮ “Der Musensohn“ von Franz Schubert

Ein wunderschönes Wochenende🌷🎶🌷 mit “Der Musensohn“ aus ’Die schöne Müllerin’ von Franz Schubert, gesungen von Jonas Kaufmann. Lyrics Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. (Live Grafenegg-Festival 2020) ENGLISH TRANSLATION: Roaming through field and wood, whistling my song, thus I go from place to place! And all keep time with me, and all move in measure with me. I can scarcely wait for them, the first flower in the garden, the first blossom on the tree. They greet my songs, and when winter returns I am still singing my dream of them. I sing it far and wide, the length and breadth of the ice. Then winter blooms in beauty! This blossom, too, vanishes, and new joys are found on the cultivated hillsides. For when, by the linden tree, I come upon young folk, I at once stir them. The dull lad puffs himself up, the demure girl whirls in time to my tune. You give my feet wings, and drive your favourite over hill and dale, far from home. Dear, gracious Muses, when shall I at last find rest again on her bosom?
