An ecstatic, soaring declaration of love; one of Strauss's most thrilling and technically demanding songs.

A secret invitation to steal away from a festive gathering for a private tryst under the rose bushes.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written; a vision of two lovers walking silently together into a sunlit tomorrow.

A profound plea for inner peace amid life's storms, from Strauss's wedding gift song cycle to his wife Pauline.
