Franz Liszt’ Oh! Quand je dors is one of the highlights of the song repertoire and is one of Liszt’s most famous songs. It is based on a poem by the French romantic Victor Hugo, and is a call to transform into another reality in a shared dream.
Originally written for piano, it is now performed for the first time with the harp. The arpeggios on the harp give this song a whole new dreamy sound world. Voice and harp meet each other in tender long lines and invite the listener to dream and be carried away in fantasy and imagination.
