The Germans revel in the fact that herz and schmerz rhyme. What are you listening to?

Hey, Der Erlkönig , with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. That's really some incredible music, and also incredibly important in music history. Fischer-Dieskau was one of the all-time great singers of his generation. This particular Lied gets played all the time. Check out some of the other Lieder by other composers as well.

And branch out into some of the orchestral Lieder as well. Mahler's Songs of the Wayfarer and Kindertotenlieder are remarkable, and for one of the all-time great song cycles, listen to Richard Strauss's Four Last Songs.
(No, I didn't just pull all this out of my ass, though I guess I sort of did. I've got a doctorate in trumpet performance.)
