Baritone Andrei Bondarenko from Ukraine sings Mein Sehnen, mein W盲hnen from Korngold's Die tote Stadt in Concert 3 of 麻豆社 Cardiff Singer of the World 2011.
Fritz, a pierrot, is an admirer of the heroine, Mariette, and he serenades her with Pierrot's Tanzlied (Dance Song). This is one of the best-known arias from the 1920 opera The Dead City. He sings with sad yearning of the magic of the dance, how he dreams of his lost love and how the extremes of intoxication and misery are a clown's lot.
