  • Wanted to know how to write in English to be sure of saying properly to you the highest honor possible, Ms. Anne Sofie. Watch you sing the Marietta's Song, from the opera Die tote Stadt (The Dead City) - Erich Wolfgang Korngold, is one of the most sublime experiences that life has given me. I wish you peace and happiness, from the deepest of my heart.

  • A wonderful song, but the group also deserves recognition.

    Here are their names so you can check them out:

    Nils-Erik Sparf - Violin I

    Ulf Forsberg - Violin II

    Tobias Ringborg - Viola

    Mats Lidstrom - Cello

    Bengt Forsberg - Piano

  • where can i download/find this arrangement?

    

  • richtig gute Musik

  • Maybe you find it suspicious that I find von Otter´s rendition of this wondrous aria absolutely stunning. I am swedish but in great art being nationalistic would be ridiculous.. Von Otter is a very disciplined singer, sometimes somewhat lame in her perfection but here it is so obvious she is totally in love with her Lied. The ensemble is simply outstanding. Brava, Ann Sofie !!!

  • The absolute best enterpritation of korngolds song

  • This is one of my celestial moments on YouTube. I love this rendition and readily forgive Miss von Otter of the transposition and the tenor omission. It is simply heavenly as it is.

  • @sirmercutio99 I haven't herard that particular CD, but I'm sure everything on it will be sung with grace, elegance, and great beauty of tone.

  • @pucciniverdi777 I was thinking bout buying one of her CD's there's one called Love's twillight that has Marietta's lied on it. Have you heard it?

  • What a superlative singer! The voice, range, technique, exemplary control of tone and breath (her diminuendo is spot-on), phrasing, elegance, charm, stage presence, and versatility are admirable. I do believe she is the greatest mezzo-soprano in the world today (the fantastic Ewa Podles is really a contralto). Listen to Madame von Otter, THEN compare to the vastly overrated, hysterically yodelling, immature, vulgar antics of Signorina Cecilia Bartoli!

  • Thank you .......

  • @sirmercutio99 I had noticed that too. Elegant, intimate, and moving.
