Extemporal interpretation between K. Ferriers voice and Walter with the Vienna. It is the utmost touching musical moment without the pitfalls of being sentimental. A creation (not a re-creation) with breathing music feelings and a memorable dialogue between the orchestra and the contralto. Ferriers diction which permits to understand each word is incorporating musical accents towards voice coloration, musical notes and complete words and give a marvelous tension and dynamic to Mahler.
Ferrier's singing was always bracingly honest; her aim seems to have been to draw the listener at once into the composer's heart. I have never been distracted by the "craft" of her intrepretation, as I often am with Fischer-Dieskau or Schwarzkopf -- artists for whom I nevertheless have much respect and affection.
This song tears at your heart. Kathleen Ferrier was the ultimate singer and she was at her best in Mahler. Every song from Kindertotenlieder is eternal.
großer gott! es ist so intim - so persönlich - so irrsinnig! wo sind diese stimmen heute? die berühren? die be/verrücken? wunderschön! DANKE!
