Lisa Della Casa: "Gibt es kein Hinüber", Ariadne auf Naxos (finale) by Richard Strauss

[vstasov]

Wonderful - thank you! Rudolf Schock is one of the greatest in the role of Bacchus.

[LeChevalierDuFeu]

is this from a complete recording ?

[Rory1956]

@LeChevalierDuFeu No, a selection available from Decca. Conductor is Erede. Complete recording with Della Casa and Böhm (DG) in which she is not half as great as here, though.

It's interesting to compare the many different recordings of this magnificent music; Della Casa ranks high with me, as well as Janowitz.

[LohengrinT]

-Ingenious composition (one of Strauss' best)

-Extremely beautiful woman Della Casa

-Great phrasing

-Not a first class voice though (Della Casa's major problem)

[tightlygagged]

-Great aria

-Beautiful woman

-Great artist

-A drooling MORON maligning one of the great voices of her period. (LohengrinT--YouTube's major problem)

Now that I re-listen to this.. one year later I have to confess I made a mistake in my first description, this is not a non-first class voice, this is a dreadful voice :)))))

[LohengrinT]

@merlesaskia

on the contrary ;)
