Thanks. Arguably, the sublime Strauss soprano of the modern era. In my mind, her only rivals were Maria Reining and Lisa Della Casa (Schwarzkopf did too much crooning, and was overly fussy and pedantic. Even her second recording of this, in stereo, had to be transposed down, because the tessitura didn't suit her.) But Janowitz's voice was liquid silver in a chalice, and von Karajan supports her like a pair of long elegant gloves. Cheers.
"The modern era"?! This was recorded fifty years ago! For a slightly more modern interpretation, see the magnificent Jessye Norman with Kurt Masur, or Melanie Diener with David Zinman.
@@DieFlabbergast Yes. Thanks for your comment. Norman IS magnificent. I meant modern as opposed to historical. Diener is fine too, although Zinman is a mediocre conductor. Strange to think that Flagstad sang the premiere. Now THAT'S an historical recording! Cheers!

Für mich die wunderbarste Interpretin und auch Karajan großartig!!!!
👏
God bless him. He wrote this when he was a genius at 83. Coming to the end of his life.
Yes, but he was 84 when he wrote and died a year later at 85 in 1949, I believe. 🤩🎵
@@kyungheecho So moving and very emotional pieces of music.
Jessie Normann is my heart nearest. Wonderful
There are Three superb versions:This one, Jesse Norman and Soile Isokoski😩Comparison is odious‼️
Melanie Diener with Kurt Masur.
Im Abendrot is a little fast for my taste. But this is superb singing.
