Hugo Wolf (1860-1903) - Mignon Lieder Arleen Auger, soprano Irwin Gage, piano Original: • Video Mignon I 00:09 Mignon II 03:15 Mignon III 05:53 Mignon: Kennst du das Land? 10:08
Kennst du das Land must be the most powerful song ever written. Wolf takes the three verses of Goethe's poem and maps them onto three pseudo strophic stanzas of intensifying pianistic figuration on the same basic thematic material. When the final climax comes it packs more punch than many a symphony. I could listen all day to this Lied.

Very dramatic and at the same time, also shows scenes of tranquility...

The only unfortunate thing here is you missing out
