Brigitte Fassbaender: "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" (Rückertlieder) by Mahler

[DavidoffGustav]

she doesn't connect the same way Thomas Hampson does.. though she is one of my favorite voices

[Maria18081977]

I am lost to the world with which I have wasted so much time. It may well believe that I am dead.

I don’t care if the world thinks me dead for I really am dead to it.

Away from the rat race I am at peace, alone in my heaven, my love and my song.

[PatateRoussoiste]

The contrast between this beautiful music and these terrible lyrics is impressive. A masterpiece.

My absolute favorite interpretation by Brigitte Fassbaender. She understands the words Rückert wrote, so incredible moving and without any disturbing pathos.

@kwetsbaar1 Mine, as well. Fassbaender is such an exquisite artist, truly in a class by herself. Of course you know her "Octavian;" can anyone else come close?
