Glenn Gould: Strauss Vier Letzte Lieder - Beim Schlafengehen

[clooaan]

Of great archival interest but not even GG can replace an orchestra in this voice/orchestra masterwork.The voice must grow out of the orchestra and  the intended effect does not work without one.

and the other three? incredible...thank you

[grocheo1]

da rimanerci secchi !!!!

Lois Marshall, la mejor versión que anda por youtube, una maravilla porque se recrea en cada palabra y frase....exagerando los momentos culmines y endulzando los mas sentimentales. Maravillosa.

trying to enjoy this on the piano is like trying to enjoy Monet while being color-blind. I love Gould at 2:13, "are they watching ME yet?!". Long live Gould and the new audiences he continues to find!

[buggerationable]

offcourse glenn gould is legendary!

[buggerationable]

now, i must say, i do not like this at all... too much fake emotions

[grocheo1]

@buggerationable fake emotions? not for me!

[Kendrick2021]

Gorgeous Soprano with the best accompanist!

[ssballs]

What a beautiful version and i had never heard of the singer.Thank you for posting.

[camalane]

On dirait une folle qui s'essaie à chanter !

Glenn joue n'importe qoi!

Sauf le "solo violon" qu'il joue ,très bien.

[Blutkasper]

bei 0:32 hört man den berühmten Glenn-Stuhl. Oder war es doch was anderes..

[paulafuenfeck]

indeed, it's touching

[concertobub]

Lois Marshall was a contemporary of Moreen Forrester and Glenn Gould - she was stricken with polio I believe which resulted in a limp (if memory serves me right). CBC television produced an opera for her so that she could enjoy this aspect of her singing career, but otherwise I understand that she was not so much involved in opera productions as recitals etc.

Thanks so much for posting. I had no idea this existed. Started watching as I'm a Gould fan; by the end I was a Lois Marshall fan too.

[fruhlingful]

Outstanding - thank you so much for uploading this. Probably the best piano version I have heard of Beim . . .

[Rephrat]

Glenn Gould "violin solo" is so sublim that it make you forget the violin sound.

[MusicismyheartXO]

I am only 16, but this swept me to tears. Lois Marshall was truly a Canadian Hero.

[PTCello]

wow, this is fantastic... what a gorgeous voice... the piano loses a great deal, but a heavens what a nice voice. The same tenderness as schwarzkopf...almost coloratura. What marvelous delicacy... who is this gal?????

I was born in 1962... when the world was black and white.

Bravo Marshal! I agree, true Straussian; the lack of orchestration, however, erodes texture and looses some of the beef, don't you think?

[Puppyizzy]

wow! wunderschon!

[freespiritQC]

How refreshing to hear somebody who sings Strauss and make it sound like Strauss.

Sensitivity «à fleur de peau».

Thank you so much polyphony

[silentbugler]

Isn't she great?! - and playing all that orchestral stuff from memory, too..!

[Freud55]

Thanks for uploading this.

[twolegsnotail]

Happy to help with anything of a Gouldian nature - he was one in a billion and opened my ears.

[twolegsnotail]

to apropermonk and polyphony, Greetings:According to'Wondrous Strange': "His(Gould)third program,Richard Strauss:A Personal View,broadcast in October 1962,was a sort of replay of his all-Strauss Stratford concert of the previous year,and once again his performances,including the first movement of the Violin Sonata(with Schumsky),songs with Lois Marshall,and music from the Bourgeois gentilhomme Suite,illustrated a polemical defence of Strauss' style." There's your answer.Broadcast in 1962.

Sorry, I don't know the date of this recording -- however, if anyone does, please leave me a note in the comments section as I would be very interested in knowing it as well.

[godivapaw]
