The same poem, one more song (XXVI)
Song of the week: Allnächtlich im Traume sehe ich dir (F. Mendelssohn) - C. Prégardien, A. Staier
The poem in last week’s post has inspired songs that are not very well known; not even Liszt’s settings are. In contrast, the poem I’m bringing you this week, also by Heine, is so closely associated with a lied by Robert Schumann that I’m sure that, when you read its first line, you’ll be able to hum it: Allnächtlich im Traume sehe ich dich.
