'Saw her at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in Rosenkavalier...her beautiful voice matched by her beautiful face. I'll never forget those cheek bones. A great and unique talent.
If Strauss had written no other piece of music; if Karajan had conducted nothing else; if Legge had produced no other work; if Schwarzkopf had only these twelve minutes or so on record............... life would still be perfect. This is STILL, after 61 years, the recording by which all opera recordings (yes, I know, it's subjective but this is my comment) will be measured.
Simply the most sublime moment from any opera and THIS is the version to hear; nothing else comes close.
Have loved this trio ever since first hearing this recording in the sixties..here sung by magnificent 3 singers of that era!

Schwarzkopf is so special, you can always recognize that voice.
She sings like an angel ..
The most sublime rendition of the trio and the concluding duet.
And remains so in 2018! Paul N
