  • There are no adequate superlatives for this woman - she IS superlative.

  • Yes, we know. English doesn't have an equivalent, unless you want 'Rueckert,' and not all browsers support the special characters required to produce the umlaut.

  • Superbe artiste, et grande dame...

  • Bravo & Encore!

    Thanks for sharing!

  • What an artist!

  • Wonderful ! Thank you for uploading !

    Jessye is incredible ! and Mahler´s great Music and great Rückert Poetry !

    There is also a version by composer Felix Draeseke (Liszt Pupil and Wagner friend - 1835-1913), which is also very beautiful and as I just saw, resp. heard , - also on Youtube !

  • The movement of her mouth kind of frightened me

  • the most!!!

  • she's an exquisite performer and can sing almost anything, her voice is not at her best in this repertoire, though. It's trying to sift a hurricane through a keyhole

  • Mahler orchestated it without strings.

  • get over yourself!
