Arleen Auger - Freundliche Vision (Richard Strauss) - 1988

[castodivo]

She takes this song the slowest of anyone on YouTube and she takes the fewest breathes. She is definitely one of the greatest lieder sings of all time.

Magic.

So verinnerlicht habe ich dieses traumhaft schöne Lied noch nie!Danke!!!

Ein Jammer,daß diese einzigartige Sängerin so früh verstorben ist.

After more than 25 years of an international career, and with a repertory ranging from Monteverdi to contemporary composers, Arleen Auger's musical and technical intelligence remained exceptionnal. See how fully released her body is in this series of lieder (as well as in Mozart's "Et Incarnatus Est" posted on youtube under Leonard Bernstein's baton). What a wonderfull singing lesson she provides us with! Many thanks for sharing these wonders, Intermezzo89.
