About This Song
About "An die Heimat, Op. 64, No. 1" by The King's Singers
An die Heimat—'to the homeland'—could be nostalgic syrup, but Brahms keeps it bittersweet. The King's Singers deliver the song with a homesick warmth that never tips into sentimentality. The harmonies are rich as soil, yet there's a tremor: home is a place you can sing about but maybe never quite return to.
