Hugo Wolf / Kathleen Ferrier, 1949: Norwegian Recital - Der Gärtner (The Gardner)



In this live Norwegian radio broadcast from 1949, thirty-seven year old Kathleen Ferrier (1912-1953) performs Wolf's Der Gärtner. I created this music video from the LP shown above, "Kathleen Ferrier - Broadcast Recital From Norway," issued in 1957 on the London label, serial number LL 1670. Ferrier is accompanied by pianist Phyllis Spurr.

Auf ihrem Leibrößlein
So weiß wie der Schnee,
Die schönste Prinzessin
Reit't durch die Allee.

Der Weg, den das Rößlein
Hintanzet so hold,
Der Sand, den ich streute,
Er blinket wie Gold!

Du rosenfarb's Hütlein
Wohl auf und wohl ab,
O wirf eine Feder,
Verstohlen herab!

Und willst du dagegen
Eine Blüte von mir,
Nimm tausend für eine,
Nimm alle dafür!

On her favorite pony
as white as snow,
the fairest princess
rides down the avenue.

On the path down which her steed
so finely prances,
the sand that I strewed there
glitters like gold!

You rose-colored little hat,
bobbing up and down,
O toss a feather
stealthily down!

and if, for that, you would like
a little flower from me,
take a thousand for one -
take all of them!
