Dio.. this is absolutely perfect and so beautiful!! Von Stade and Popp together are surpassing

[Ccatluver23]

I love this! they are two of my favorite singers :)

My only wish is to hear Lucia & Frederica sing the duette "presentation of the rose" in Der Rosenkavalier, but they never did this together.

Heavenly, just sublimely beautiful......

Thanks for posting this , leoperarm. In fact I like all of your uploads. But this one is my top favourite.

Can't pick nicer voices!

Creme de la creme.

I bought this recording when it first came out some decades ago. (It is still available on the Philips label.) When I came to this duet, I would often rewind the tape to hear it repeatedly. In the years since, I have heard other versions of this number, but none to equal this one. Most don't even come close. This is one for the ages--a major landmark in the history of recorded music.

Yeah, this duet simply sticks. And this Popp/von Stade rendition is divine.

Mozart, Von Stade and Popp. One couldn't ask for a more perfect combination :)

[390204]

so elegantly tender and beautiful: it almost hurts.

[nclysander]

I literally have difficulty listening to any other recording after this. Popp and von Stade are just so perfect and ideally paired. This is like liquid sunshine.

One of my favorite renderings of ANY duet ever.

Well said...love Flicka, and Lucia were simply marvelous in this duet...too bad Lucia was taken from us..may she RIP.

[Cherubino91]

What a charming combination, Popp and Von Stade! I love this duet, but this version is particularly tender.

[Arch5280]

This is my favorite rendering of this duet (and the first). These two are utterly cute and musical, I can hardly stand it!

Thanks!
