    I’m a metalhead. When I heard this for the first time on Spotify and on my way to school. I cried like a baby.

    Listening to this the after I heard my brother died earlier today. He loved these songs and we talked about them just last week. He was 78; I am 75 and close to the end. This is the ultimate consolation.

    Ruhe in Frieden, Jessye Norman. "Im Abendrot" ist mein absoluter Favorit. Jetzt hat sie es selber erlebt. Ich werde Sie nie vergessen.

    Die Vier Letzte Lieder is to me one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed and no one but the divine, heaven-sent Jessye Norman was BORN to sing this. I can listen to this a thousand times over and I am brought to tears precisely the same way. Thank you Strauss for your unique capacity of recreating what paradise sounds like with your harmonies.

    Rest In Peace, goddess of music. Jessye in her prime was a miracle of voice and technique, unequalled in the Four Last Songs. She achieves a transcendence and spiritual depth that no one else can match. Strauss himself would probably have been overjoyed if only he could have heard this. This live performance is a wonderful addition to her classic recording with Masur, one of the greatest recordings of all time.

    For more than thirty years I have treasured her Phillips' recording of Strauss Songs and listened to it countless times. Always so moving, extraordinary.

    Vier letzte Lieder may have been beautifully sung by quite a few excellent sopranos, but to me, Jessye Norman's are sheer perfection. Masur, Sawallisch, Levine, Ozawa... They are all different but I love all of Jessye's VLL's.

    Man bedenke: Das ist live! Viele Sängerinnen schaffen diese tiefe, wahre Reinheit nicht einmal im Stdudio.
