Wiegenlied - Diana Damrau, Xavier de Maistre

Breathtaking rendition of Richard Strauss' "Wiegenlied", from a Liederabend Harfe she gave in Baden-Baden with Xavier de Maistre at the harp. He wrote most of the arrangments for the harp from the original piano score (personally, I find that amazing).
Lieben Dank, Babsi!!! :D
Before she starts singing she says:
"The next piece is the cradle-song by Richard Strauss. Although the child is born already [she means the child from the song], I have have to assist at his birth: It's so difficult to turn the page!!"
Dankeschön, Dennis ^^

They are both amazing. What breathe control sh ehas. But the harpist is just unbelieveable!!!

Gorgeous! I saw them perform this at the Edinburgh Festival a couple of weeks ago and the pairing of voice and harp worked really well, even in this, one of my favourite Strauss songs.

@jackykellett Sorry I removed your other comment by mistake! Yes, it was originally written for voice and piano, this is an arrangement for harp.
