Kathleen Ferrier - Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen

Back



Kathleen Ferrier sings "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" (I have lost touch with the world), by Gustav Mahler. Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen, Mit der ich sonst viele Zeit verdorben, Sie hat so lange nichts von mir vernommen, Sie mag wohl glauben, ich sei gestorben! Es ist mir auch gar nichts daran gelegen, Ob sie mich für gestorben hält, Ich kann auch gar nichts sagen dagegen, Denn wirklich bin ich gestorben der Welt. Ich bin gestorben dem Weltgetümmel, Und ruh' in einem stillen Gebiet! Ich leb' allein in meinem Himmel, In meinem Lieben, in meinem Lied! ___________________________________________ I am lost to the world with which I used to waste so much time, It has heard nothing from me for so long that it may very well believe that I am dead! It is of no consequence to me Whether it thinks me dead; I cannot deny it, for I really am dead to the world. I am dead to the world's tumult, And I rest in a quiet realm! I live alone in my heaven, In my love and in my song!

The text is so touching and Ferrier's forthrightness and earthiness make it so moving!

This is beyond amazing. Does anyone else hear what it is to as part of the ensemble? She is a master. . . she breathes with them, rises with them, the ebb the tide. What an ARTIST !! "
