About This Song
About "Mendelssohn: Auf Flügeln des Gesanges, Op. 34, No. 2" by Kiri Te Kanawa
Kiri Te Kanawa floats Mendelssohn's winged song with poised soprano, each phrase a feather drifting over piano. The calm surface trembles with longing, as if flight itself aches. Vivid, weightless, yet secretly heavy with farewell.
