Lovely singing.TY AE for posting.

Her style feels a little on the ... operatic side for such an intimate artsong.

I don't the sound really shows what her singing of this is like. It's not quite like the LP version by her that I have.

What a beautiful Song Cycle "Frauenliebe und Leben" is... I remember the first time I heard this, I was a voice major in university, and the "gals" that were my fellow students performed this in a recital, and I immediately fell in love with the songs. I recorded it on my little cassette recorder, and I still listen to it occasionally, with fond memories of my time as a foice major in university :)

Despite Baldwin's fame, I completely disagree with his playing. I think he is quit insensitive to Ameling's breathing and timing. Maybe too loud as well..

@Roelekok

I completely agree! I think her collaboration with pianist Rudolf Jansen was much better.

And has been mentioned in other Ameling video posts, the video dates from 1980 from a TV broadcast in Puerto Rico. It is posted becasue of its rarity not because of its sound quuality.

Great voice and great interpretation

Divino Schumann... L'amore nella sua espressione più profonda.. sublime e triste.. Musica malinconica e disperata...

Siamo in molti a provare un amore sconfinato per Schumann!!!! No?

Genio sfortunato
