The most profound interpretation in a world of great performances by the best singers in the world.

I have to agree with 3tristan. I don't see what's such a big deal about Schwartzkopf. For example, listen at 4:30-4:37, how the pitch flattens and the timbre is unsupported. I think people just have a fetish for old recordings. And what's up with the weird vibrato that changes every three seconds?

The genius of Strauss combined with the artistry of swarzkopf is breath takimg.

Hello, Glenmed : How do I put the picture to the video answer. Teaching me please.

Oh, I adore the unevenness and the gaps in her voice. This is "Im Abendrot," not about the joy of beginning life, but rather the questions about the end, when all is winding down and falling away, like autumn leaves. I would wish to hear this recording on my own deathbed; it contains some of the mystery of the unknown next step.

This is also one of my "desert island" discs. Wonderful, wonderful recording from all involved.

No one got it better, though Lisa della Casa came close. Perfection.

Oh Tristan - surely not? I have listened to them all over 50 years and she is the only one who truly undertands these songs. |
