Possibly one of the most beautiful performances of this art song/Melodie written by the Belgian composer, conductor and pianist Hippolyte Ackermans (1886-1965) ever made?!
Sung by one of Frances' most beloved sopranos --Ninon Vallin.
(1886-1961) She recorded this and others of Ackermans' Melodies on the dark blue and gold Pathé Label in June of 1933. Matrix No. X 93.136. No. 204.036
Played here with a medium Burmese Colour Needle (thorn).

Here is a description of Vallin written by Albert Carré, director of the Opéra-Comique:
“The exceptional quality of this voice, its purity, its freshness, its timbre, its color, its flexibility, its emotional character as well as the assurance and the taste with which it was used could leave no doubt whatever. We were in the presence of a great artist.”
