Elisabeth Schwarzkopf: Lohengrin, Elsa's Dream Posted by: Glenmed
Video duration: 357 seconds Global video hits: 11247 Watched the wonderful Karita Mattila doing this. Was keen to understand better what this music was saying. Schwarzkopf's recording is offered here with German and English subtitles. The English translation is not word-for-word. Instead, I tried to catch the scansion and some of the poetic imagery in Wagner's phrases. If any German speaker can suggest a correction or two, I will be most grateful.
