Tchaikovsky 'At the Ball' - Artur Eizen, bass-baritone

One of Tchaikovsky's most popular romances is here sung by a highly distinguished Russian bass-baritone to an evocative orchestral accompaniment. The English lyrics shown below are those sung by Richard Tauber in a recording also uploaded here. The lights in the ballroom were gleaming, the couples awhirl in the dance, and there I was drifting and dreaming, till you came and with you romance. You looked like a vision of glory, appeared like the sunrise appears, but what did your eyes tell, what story, a story of sadness and tears. And yet in that moment of splendour, just lost in the music of night, I felt that your eyes could look tender, oh how did I long for that sight. Now here in my lonely room, yearning, my heart keeps a lone rendezvous, the dawn finds me weary, yearning, with visions and daydreams of you. I'm resting my tired head on my pillow, why are you so far, why not here, the wind sighs outside in the willow, it sighs with me "I miss you dear".
