About This Song
About "Wagner: Wesendonck-Lieder: 1. Der Engel" by Anja Harteros
Wagner’s Wesendonck-Lied ‘Der Engel’ rises with Harteros’s luminous soprano, each phrase a wingbeat in a hush of strings. The song hovers between earthly longing and celestial comfort, a feather drifting in a sunlit room. Tension: serene devotion versus the ache of separation.
