There is something wonderful in suddenly finding yourself listening to some music that has you totally taken in
and better yet if it is a piece you already know
and this is what happened the other night.
My Seattle radio station had some problems so I changed to Radio Denmark, mostly out of curiosity and that was when they started to play the full, uninterrupted recording of
Die Schöne Müllerin by Schubert.
I know the piece well, but I had never heard an interpretation so lush, so heartfelt as this. I sat glued to the computer for an hour and ten minutes, just listening to one wonderful song after another and I was sure I would remember the name the next day.
I did not, but after a lot of time and a lot of calculating the time difference, I found the information.
Here is my hat off to Matthias Goerne for such a great job.
Thank you.
