SCHUBERT'S SONGS
Sung by HELEN HENSCHEL (Soprano)
Wie Ulfru fischt (How Ultra Fished Der Einsame (The Solitary One)
Wiegenlied (Cradle Song) Die Forelle (The Trout)
DER EINSAME is a song of content, sung by one who, alone by his country fireside, can be happy with pleasant memories of work and play and no other company than the chirping crickets.
The Wiegenlied (Cradle Song) is too well known to need a word either of elucidation or commendation. Its happy-hearted music has long since won for it a secure place in our affections.
Die Forelle is a sprightly little impression.
The sportive trout is frisking in its limpid pool. Alas. comes an angler. Well, thinks the watcher, so long as the water's clear, he can't catch it. But the wretch stirs up the mud. and the trout can't see his manoeuvres, and is caught. What a shame !
