Good Night

Leichenfantasie

Some Schubert leider for your morning.

That whole Schubert song cycle series from Hyperion is fascinating. I recently acquired Cd no 16 in the series dead cheap. The texts here are based on the poet Friedrich von Schiller. This version is by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and this long track is a horror or gothic  fantasy. For all Goths out there.

Franz Schubert - Leichenfantasie D 7

Leichenfantasie (Funeral Fantasy)
Friedrich von Schiller


( German text and English translation )

Good Morning

Another blustery mixed day of some rain and sunny moments. I did a couple of turf accountants and placed bets on a couple of horses. One in Chatham and one in Sheerness, and duringmy vits found some great CD's dead cheap - like four for a quid!
