@bronxboy47 with due respect to Herrn Hesse, his poem disintegrates before Herrn Strauss superb music.

@blairinnyc I'd like to have said that first... great comment

Simply a masterpiece...

And don't forget Hermann Hesse (of Steppenwolf, The Glass Bead Game, and Siddhartha fame), the author of the poem used as text by Herr Strauss.

You have to hear it to believe it. This performance would have given Strauss a woody. I know: how crude! But Jessye just brought me to the brink of extinction, I have fight back somehow. Too bad the first and last few seconds of this piece were chopped off.

merci pour cette video. Son aisance est sans pareille et sa voix splendide. Je ne connais pas de version aussi belle
I love the feeling she gives that she herself is transported, even transformed, by the beauty of the music.
She was born to sing this as surely as Strauss was born to compose it.
