Richard Strauss’s Cradle Song
Nov 6th, 2008 by oldfogey
One of the most famous, and loveliest, of Richard Strauss’s songs. Here is the last verse.
‘Dream, dream, flower of my love, of the quiet, blessed night, when the flower of his love changed forever this world into a heaven for me.’
It is beautifully sung by Gundula Janovitz.
