It's true, she has an imperfect pronounciation, but... what amazing voice! I prefer her poor german with her unique talent.

KF seems to have problems with the production of consonants at times.The alveolar plosive in 'Gott' becomes an alveolar lateral.

Toll! Aber mir scheint, die singt jedes Mal "Gold" statt "Gott" ;-)

Vielleicht auch nur eine Frage der bescheidenen Qualität der Aufnahme? Aber auch sonst nimmt das nichts von der überwältigenden Qualität dieser absolut berührenden Stimme!

I like this version of the "Urlicht" most too. Klemperer is obviously my favourite conductor, and here he just plays with the Concertgebouw to let Kathleen Ferrier shine in full light. An outstanding, haunting "Urlicht". The CD is still available and highly recommended.

Das ist deutsch durch und durch. Mahler war ein tief deutsch denkender Mensch. Er verstand die deutschen Dichter bzw. verstand es am besten, sie musikalisch umtzusetzen. Ich bin immer wieder ergriffen. Und J. Norman oder K. Ferrier kommen mit der durchaus schwierigen deutschen Sprache gut zurecht. Die ab und zu unrunden Aussprachen machen sie durch volle Empfindsamkeit mehr als wett. Ich schätze sie sehr. DANKE
