Träume (Dreams) concludes the set of Wagner's famous Wesendonk Lieder from 1857-58– This addition has been transcribed for harp by Alfred Holy.
Originally for voice and piano, then lushly orchestrated, they were set to poetry by Mathilde Wesendonk, with whom Wagner experienced an intense emotional affair at that time. Träume is one of the two songs that Wagner used as a study for his seminal opera Tristan und Isolde, and he later wrote that his setting was "finer than all I have made!" This is Alfred Holy's only solo transcription: it is worth noting that he was steeped in the Wagnerian idiom, and performed numerous times in Bayreuth.
