The best possible vocal rendition of the 4 letzte Lieder. What a pity that it's spoiled here by Solty the histerical - as much as her audio recording by Tennstedt with his slow tempi
@2Dawgz It's Orchestra Hall in Chicago. Popp had spent much of the summer in Chicago in 1977 giving master classes at Northwestern University. I believe she met Peter Jonas here who was to become her lover after her first marriage failed.
This is not her farewell at the Staatsoper (my father in law attended that performance). She died in 1993 and this recording dates from 1977. From the brief views of the hall, this looks like the Konzerthaus in Vienna.

She makes it look and sound so easy...! Her pitch is spot on, too -- sigh.
