Gundula Janowitz, Richard Strauss: Fruhling (Spring)

Gundula Janowitz, soprano. Richard Strauss: Fruhling, from Vier letzte Lieder. (Words by Hermann Hesse)
In dammrigen Gruften traumte ich lang von deinen Baumen und blauen Luften, von deinem Duft und Vogelsang.
Nun liegst du erschlossen in Gless und Zier, von Licht ubergossen wi ein Wunder vor mir.
Du kennest mich wieder, du lockest mich zart, es zitter durch all meine Glieder deine selige Gegenwart!
In dusky caverns I dreamed long of your trees and azure breezes, of your scents and birdsong.
Now you lie revealed in glitter and array, bathed in light like a miracle before me.
You recognize me again, tenderly you beckon to me. Through all my limbs quivers your blissful presence.

@max4296 When I was speaking with an opera director about various famous sopranos, he stated in regard to Gundula Janowitz, " There has been no one like her since."

[laueralex]

So singt man Strauss heute nicht mehr, etwas old fashioned, die Höhe manchmanl etwas schrill

[sfkcbf]

How can a sublime musical creation be considered to be, in truth, "old fashioned?"
