My only wish is to hear Lucia & Frederica sing the duette "presentation of the rose" in Der Rosenkavalier, but they never did this together.

Heavenly, just sublimely beautiful......

Can't pick nicer voices!

Creme de la creme.

Yeah, this duet simply sticks. And this Popp/von Stade rendition is divine.

I bought this recording when it first came out some decades ago. (It is still available on the Philips label.) When I came to this duet, I would often rewind the tape to hear it repeatedly. In the years since, I have heard other versions of this number, but none to equal this one. Most don't even come close. This is one for the ages--a major landmark in the history of recorded music.
