Schubert / Hermann Prey, 1960s: Romanze, D. 797 - Leonard Hokanson, piano - Lyrics


In this extremely rare recording from the early 1960s, German baritone Hermann Prey (1929-1998) performs Romanze, D. 797, penned by Wilhelmina Christiane von Chézy, née Klencke (1783-1856) and published by Schubert in 1824. The American pianist leonard Hokanson accompanies. I created this video from the cassette shown above, issued in 1974 on the Philips label, serial number 7314 010. The recording predates by at least ten years the manufacture of the cassette.

Der Vollmond strahlt auf Bergeshöhn -
Wie hab ich dich vermißt!
Du süßes Herz! es ist so schön,
Wenn treu die Treue küßt.

Was frommt des Maien holde Zier?
Du warst mein Frühlingsstrahl!
Licht meiner Nacht, O lächle mir
Im Tode noch einmal!

Sie trat hinein beim Vollmondschein,
Sie blickte himmelwärts;
"Im Leben fern, im Tode dein!"
Und sanft brach Herz an Herz.
