This holds a very deep place in my heart, for personal reasons.

This particular performance is one of the best I have ever heard. In terms of technique, depth and style, it touches heaven.

For a more overtly emotional, more passionate in style (but not Romantic - I disagree with some critics) as opposed to the impassioned baroque style, here's another beautiful version played by Mischa Maisky:

Hugo Wolf: Auf eine Christblume I (from the Mörike Lieder)

(This is the Lied that starts with "Tochter des Walds, du Lilienverwandte", as opposed to Auf eine Christblume II.)

One of my favourite Lieder, sung by the baritone Olaf Bär, with Geoffrey Parsons accompanying. This is so perfectly and tenderly sung... It has an even greater appeal for me than Fischer-Dieskau's performance of it.
