  • The singer has good tone, but she has major tension in her jaw and she's adding syllables to the German text that don't exist, like "strahl-te" instead of "strahlt" and "erde-ne" instead of "erden". As for the pianist, I think he's perfectly fine. His only downfall would be doing this from memory so he couldn't cover-up when the singer went astray, because she often did. Brahms is a great composer, do what's written, no need for rubato and rhythmic changes when it's beautiful as is.

  • in defense of the singer, if Spanish is your native language, German pronunciation is DIFFICULT! The tempo, especially at the beginning, seemed a bit quick. I think she has a BEAUTIFUL and very delicate voice.

  • I learned this song for my senior recital, and, even IF German isn't my native language, I can DEFINITELY tell that she hasn't had much coaching in her phonetics......it's QUITE obvious. Her VOCAL execution is brilliant, but her pronunciation of the language gets about a 'C'

  • There are some lovely sounds here to explore and enjoy, but the phrasing was compressed in many places and the tempo too hurried for the usual sense of this work. The voice is really pure in the higher register and this singer has an exquisite presence and manner. The diction is sometimes a real issue for listeners, if it's not a native language there will always be discrepancies, but at the end, it's the interpretation and musical sense of the work that really communicates.

  • She's a little flat honestly. Her tone is just so lovely though.

  • Yes, it is difficult with throat when you sff.

  • "Die" Mainacht...

  • very simple: this is a beautiful instrument performing a spectacular song. Brava.

  • bad german, bad throat tension.

  • bad german :(

  • both times the "Und di Ensama Thrane" started good, then took a turn for the worst on the the decrescendo down.
