Arleen Auger
Franz Schbert "Heidenröslein"
Salzburg 11 May 1978

Joyce Arleen Auger (September 13, 1939 - June 10, 1993) was an American soprano singer, admired for her ravishing, crystal-clear, lyric coloratura voice and interpretations of works by Bach, Handel, Haydn, Monteverdi, Gluck and Mozart.

Arleen Auger performed Mozart's Exsultate, Jubilate in Westminster Abbey on July 23, 1986 at the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson; she later recorded this work along with the Great Mass in C minor under Leonard Bernstein, in 1990. On December 5, 1991, the bicentenary of Mozart's death, she sang his Requiem with Cecilia Bartoli and the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Georg Solti in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna. Her over two hundred recordings includes the complete soprano cantatas of Bach and the works of Schoenberg.

Arleen Auger sang beautifully for more than a quarter century. She sang great music and never bowed or pandered to public taste. Arleen Auger was a true artist, steady and serious to the end.

@NazTb0y I've already listened to this several times.So beautiful and unmatcheable.It should certainly have won an award,if it didn't already and I didn't know!what a rendition.And so joyous!!!

[lightflower]

[12345Broadwayfreak]

wow. she's phenomenal. wish i could sing like that.

[Hailstone47]

I have only two of her CDs and I've played them more than any other albums I have.

@augerles That has nothing to do with her voice, what a silly thing to say, she is a talent on her own, the fact the father preach the gospel and the mother teaches, does not give birth to her brilliant talent, and she sings this wonderful lied in her own right.

[Smico85]

She's American? Oo

I'm German and I can tell: There's no english accent to be heard.

[rugger39108]

bravo



[NazTb0y]

@augerles I must have listened to this a hundred times. Your aunt is a genius. She brings so much youthful energy and dramatic sincerity to the song. There isn't a better rendition of Heidenröslein out there.
