Schubert: "Vor meiner Wiege", D. 927 Fischer-Dieskau, Moore

What wonderfully apt illustrations you found for this song! It's one of my very favourite Schubert songs, ever since I first heard this recording about 35 years ago! Thank you, Karen.

Beautiful, simply beautiful in every way. We have so much to thank you for, Karen, in your exquisite work!

How can I study when I have this to listen to! So beautiful. So convincing that it is difficult to believe that DFD is not singing his own words to his own music from his own experience. When you hear DFD on tape, disc or here it is dead, its a recording and yet DFD's music is alive and stirs the soul and compels you to listen. Its as if he is standing and singing just where you are. Thank you Karen.

Schubert's music is so beautiful and soothing, especially sung by amazing singer who monsieur Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau surely is.

beautiful work on this, Karen... one of Schubert's best, and you've presented it to perfection. :)

This is incredibly and unspeakably beautiful. Both Fischer-Dieskau and Moore are sublime. The scenery and the use of the text and an English translation of same are further huge assets. This song, here transposed down to A minor from its original key of B minor, is little known and too-seldom performed. It deserves much more frequent performance. It is not strange to me because I heard it sung in a vocal competition years ago by a soprano, in the original key. But I can understand why many did not experience it until encountering this awesome presentation. Many thanks to whoever posted this!

I did not know this LIed before and it touches me in its profoundness. Also Fischer-Diskau does a great job - it is a serious and straightforward interpretation.

Bravo to you (5 stars), to Schubert, to DFD, to Moore. Despite the beauty of this song, hearing it is painful, not just because of the words reminding us of our own mortality and brief lives, but also of Schubert's own life that was ended far too soon, far to young. What music still remained within him?
