Die tote Stadt - Mariettas Lautenlied (Strasbourg'01) video free download
Mariettas Lied (Glück, das mir verblieb) from Erich Wolfgang Korngold's opera Die tote Stadt (The Dead City):
Angela Denoke (Marietta), Torsten Kerl (Paul), Jan Latham-Koenig
Glück, das mir verblieb,
rück zu mir, mein treues Lieb.
Abend sinkt im Hag
bist mir Licht und Tag.
Bange pochet Herz an Herz
Hoffnung schwingt sich himmelwärts.
Wie wahr, ein traurig Lied.
Das Lied vom treuen Lieb,
das sterben muss.
Was haben Sie?
Ich kenne das Lied.
Ich hört es oft in jungen,
in schöneren Tagen.
Es hat noch eine Strophe--
weiß ich sie noch?
Naht auch Sorge trüb,
rück zu mir, mein treues Lieb.
Neig dein blaß Gesicht
Sterben trennt uns nicht.
Mußt du einmal von mir gehn,
glaub, es gibt ein Auferstehn.

Two worlds offers us this range of feeling - opera and dream. Here is a man who has loved and been robbed of the fulfilment of love. He cannot let go of the dream of fulfilment. The genius of a 17-year-old boy (Korngold) gives us this experience. 9 years ago

Read the book that the opera is based on: "Bruges-la-morte" by Georges Rodenbach. That will give you insights into the story, tho the opera libretto is different. Much of what happens to Paul is real, much imagined. Korngold is still underrated by the "cognoscenti" because they simply don't know :)10 years ago

Lovely singing-but an idiotic production.10 years ago

But it is still sung in German, who cares where someone is from. It is just beautiful.10 years ago

I have the Leinsdorf CD, but in this duet, I'm afraid I don't like Kollo's voice. Kerl does a magnificent job. I am visiting Bruges in a few days, oddly enough, and when I return, I'll order the DVD of this production. I know it has received major criticisms, but for me, the music and singing are paramount.10 years ago

Actually there are quite a few portamenti and a few glissando written in this duet.11 years ago

Strangely, I didn't care for this interpretation when I first saw/heard this production and now it's probably my favorite. I think because Denoke and Kerl have made it so humanly real. 'Marietta's Lied" is a piece that, once heard, haunts you for the rest of your life - i don't know how Korngold managed to do this at such a young age. It perfectly catches that exquisitely painful feeling we all share when we think back on a time in our lives that we so loved and which can never come again.12 years ago

Hi Everybody!
@sandrodream1 Your comment received too many negative votes. I think it's because you put "singed." If you hadn't put that word you would probably have been ok, though you shouldn't have said that "opera should be singed only in Italian." I like Wagner and I don't wish everyone to start singing his Ring Cycle in Italian as it wouldn't sound right. Chinese operas sung in Italian are ok.12 years ago

Korngold war ein herausragendes Genie! Schlimm, dass die Musikwelt das kaum erkannt hat. Dabei hatte er das Potential für noch viel größeres. Schade, dass er sich in späteren Jahren so vergeudet hat.12 years ago

Beautifully sung (though low level): production looks decidedly iffy. The opera scheduled for production by Australian Opera in 2012.12 years ago
A Paradox
Sorry Kryltoppa I am going to be fussy, and just point out that Korngold was NOT a German composer,he was Austrian. He was born in Brunn in the Austro Hungarian Empire in 1897. Brunn is now Brno and in the Czech RepublicRelated Videos
