Young Artist Platform Winners 2017: Michael Mofidian & Keval Shah - Alles endet, was entstehet

Michael Mofidian (bass-baritone) Keval Shah (piano) Alles endet, was entstehet (All must end that has beginning) from Drei Gedichte von Michelangelo Hugo Wolf (1860-1903) Walter Heinrich Robert-Tornow (1852-1895) Recorded on Saturday 4 March 2017 at the Oxford Lieder Young Artist Platform Auditions. Alles endet, was entstehet (All must end that has beginning) Alles endet, was entstehet, Alles, alles rings vergehet, Denn die Zeit flieht, und die Sonne Sieht, daß Alles rings vergehet, Denken, Reden, Schmerz, und Wonne; Und die wir zu Enkeln hatten Schwanden wie bei Tag die Schatten, Wie ein Dunst im Windeshauch. Menschen waren wir ja auch, Froh und traurig, so wie ihr, Und nun sind wir leblos hier, Sind nur Erde, wie ihr sheet; Alles endet, was entstehet, Alles, alles rings vergehet! All must end that has beginning, All things round us perish, For time is fleeting, and the sun Sees that all things round us perish, Thought, speech, pain and rapture; And our children’s children Vanished as shadows by day, As mists in a breeze. We were also human beings, With joys and sorrows like your own; And now there is no life in us here, We are but earth, as you can see; All must end that has beginning, All things round us perish!
