There have been MANY comments on Solti's ridiculously fast tempi for Ms Te Kanawa's concert and performances of these 4 last songs of Strauss. Folks do yourselves a favour and check out and study the music and you will find to your amazement that Maestro Solti has been brave and pedantic enough to insist on sticking to the tempi called for by Strauss and marked with metronome times! The good singers and interpreters are the ones who perform within the parameters set by the composers. BRAVA!

@MariaCaIIas know it's not usual at Lieder cycles to request da capo but at least after last performed Lied Im Abendrot at this evening being a Sternstunde it has to be! - being british or not :D

The perfect voice and style for this music

@theblueangel28 I suppose you are being a bit sarcastic, as it is common knowledge among classic-concert-goers not to applaud at all in between songs of a cycle because it interrupts the feeling of the cycle...
However, after this interpretation I honestly understand why they couldn't keep the "custom" and applauded... a little bit of wild cheering wouldn't be bad... but they are being "very british" there... I wouldn't... lol

why isnt the crown cheering..is it one of those customs i dont know anything about?

@MariaCaIIas its common knowledge not to applaud between pieces of a cycle in a recital, but not a concert like this. they applauded between all the pieces, if you watch the others...what I was asking was why arent they freakin cheering!!??
mostly i was just being cute...love to you
