Christian Johann Heinrich Heine (13 December 1797 – 17 February 1856) was a Germanpoet, journalist, essayist, and literary critic. He is best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry, which was set to music in the form of Lieder (art songs) by composers such as Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert. Heine's later verse and prose are distinguished by their satirical wit and irony. He is considered part of the Young Germany movement. His radical political views led to many of his works being banned by German authorities. Heine spent the last 25 years of his life as an expatriate in Paris.
Early life
Childhood and youth
Heine was born in Düsseldorf, Rhineland, into a Jewish family. He was called "Harry" as a child, but became "Heinrich" after his conversion to Christianity in 1825. Heine's father, Samson Heine (1764–1828), was a textile merchant. His mother Peira (known as "Betty"), née van Geldern (1771–1859), was the daughter of a physician. Heinrich was the eldest of the four children; his siblings were Charlotte, Gustav – who later became Baron Heine-Geldern and publisher of the Viennese newspaper Das Fremdenblatt – and Maximilian, later a physician in Saint Petersburg. Heine was also third cousin once removed with philosopher and economist Karl Marx, who was also born into a German Jewish family in the Rhineland and with whom he became a frequent correspondent later in life.
The Heinrich Heine was part of the IC79 scheme introduced on 28 May 1979. It was the "mirror" of the Goethe on the West Rhine Railway. Early in the morning Heinrich Heine left Frankfurt for a northbound trip and Goethe left Dortmund southbound. In the evening both trains ran in the opposite directions. This concept of a pair of trains running at the same time on the same route in opposite directions was later applied as principle of the EuroCity network's schedule.
Part of the IC79 scheme was running on weekdays only. After one year of service the Heinrich Heine was suspended during the summer, so in 1980, 1981 and 1982 the train did not ride during June, July and August. From 26 September 1982 the service was reduced to once a week, northbound on Mondays and southbound on Fridays, because Lufthansa introduced their Lufthansa Airport Express serving the same customers on the same route. Eventually the TEE adventure for the Heinrich Heine ended at 27 May 1983.

His early years were spent in Europe where he was a rehearsal pianist, opera coach and conductor. He came to New York in 1941 and taught at The Mannes School of Music for five years before joining the faculty of The Julliard School on which he served 1947 – 1967. He was noted for conducting many American premieres of 20th Century operas and he organized and conducted Musica Aeterna with which he presented works by Monteverdi, Handel, Rameau, Rossini, et cetera. Waldman made recordings that appeared on Allegro Elite, Arbiter, Columbia (US), Composers Recordings, Inc., Decca, Desto, MCA and Westminster.
Brief summary of the lieder by Franz Schubert to texts by Heinrich Heine:
Der Atlas (Atlas: The poet is an unhappy Atlas for he bears a world of pain….); Ihr Bild (Her Picture: I stood in dark dreams before her picture and those beloved features seemed to glow with life….and I have lost her); Das Fischermädchen (The Fisher Maiden: A plea for the fisher maiden to come and sit with him whose heart is like the sea with its storms, tides and pearls buried deep within); Die Stadt (The Town: On the far horizon the misty town in seen in the sunset….the sun’s last rays reveal the place where the loved one was lost); Am Meer (By the Sea: The sea was glistening in evening’s glow….from her eyes flowed tears….this woman with misfortune has poisoned me with her tears); Der Doppelgänger (Ghostly Double: In this dark dwelling lived my loved one….long since gone….I see a man who stares at the heavens and wrings his hands….the moon reveals it is my own body there….Thou wraith accursed! Thou graveyard companion! Why apest thou my lover’s pain that tore my heart in times long past?)
