Why does this transcend all the others? It has nothing to do with voice or technique, and everything to do with spirit. She brings you to another place.

Exactly! The end of one's life and her interpretation is just that... She was an amazing artist. Thanks a million to technonol that we can still hear her singing and Strauss's music.

If perfection is not human, this is pretty close to it. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf exceptional voice and schooling and Strauss writing these pieces at the end of his life... perfect! The German soul is singing in her voice and his music.

Incredible!! What a combination Strauss and Schwarzkopf. Elisabeth, my heroine.

This is for me THE recording of these songs, both for the orchestral beauty as well as the vocal. I cannot understand how anyone can dislike it.

the last piece strauss komposed, just a few weeks before he died in 1949. he was in garmisch-partenkirchen. this incredible masterpiece was more than one end. it remarks the end of strauss, a simple life and the end of total period in classical music. please let us play more than once. now we are again on earth at the end of a period - sometimes I am affraid what will come and how long can we be patient with eachother? has the final countdown already begun to 21.12.2012? "ist dies etwa der tod?"

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? |
