Zueignung ( Strauss) - Kiri Te Kanawa & Georg Solti

[kraaipoes]

she is so pure and one of the best,i like it in her tempo,it is alight song even if it is german/austrian......i am dutch so somewhere in the middle.

[cantorga]

Funny, to me it's just the tiniest bit too fast! I prefer the microscopically slower tempo that she does with Solti and the orchestra, At any rate, superb, unforgettable, irreplaceable..2nd only to Lotte Lehmann.

Es muss gegen 80 Jahre her sein, dass ich dieses Lied erstmals hörte, der das sang kam später in ein KZ

[mckavitt]

And she doesn't flat out on the extended final note! Brava bravissima!

I'm so envious of Solti! Strauss was such a genius, and the two of them are completely fantastic. i love it.

@Rachelnavaw -- I am glad you've found it here..

[amwam]

The tempo is perfect. It's easy to lose yourself in the beautiful melody and lose momentum.

[1923pars]

Just beautiful

[mckavitt]

@amwam yes, that's it, tempo, keeping the momentum, not for the sake of doing it, but to get across the intensity of the gratitude expressed.

[dem24utube]

Until now I didn't think it was possible to find a better rendition than on their disc!

[VivaLucia]

The piano, OH MY GOD!

[thechinadesk]

Thanks for the English translation!

I looked at another English translation of Zueignung but it left me scratching my head.

The one you posted makes the meaning clearer.

That'll help me learn it for my voice class.

Habe dank!

bel duo.... la voce morbida, luminosa ed elegante della giovane te kanawa e il fraseggio di solti....
