Kiri Te Kanawa - Premiere of Malven by Richard Strauss NYC 1985

The world premiere of the last song written by Richard Strauss - Malven. Sung by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, accompanied by Martin Katz at Avery Fisher Hall in New York, 1985. The song had only been discovered a few months before, and had only been made available to be learned in the days leading up to this concert.

Aus Rosen, Phlox, Zinienflor,
ragen im Garten Malven empor,
duftlos und ohne des Purpurs Glut,
wie ein verweintes, blasses Gesicht
unter dem gold'nen himmlischen Licht.
Und dann verwehen leise, leise im Wind.
zärtliche Blüten Sommers Gesind.

Among the roses, phlox, zinnias
in the garden, mallos tower,
scentless and without a purple glow
like a tear-stained pale face
under the golden, heavenly light.
And then, solfty blowing in the wind
tender blossoms,
summer's servant.
