The one of the best Songs of the most favorite composer of Renee Fleming.

Renee Fleming, soprano
Christian Thielemann, conductor
Muncher Philharmoniker

Lyric:

Ja, du weißt es, teure Seele,
Daß ich fern von dir mich quäle,

Liebe macht die Herzen krank,
Habe Dank.

Einst hielt ich, der Freiheit Zecher,
Hoch den Amethysten-Becher,
Und du segnetest den Trank,
Habe Dank.

Und beschworst darin die Bösen,
Bis ich, was ich nie gewesen,
heilig, heilig an's Herz dir sank,
Habe Dank.

  • This is the original Strauss orchestration from 1940, rarely performed until recently. The first orchestration by Robert Hegger, much inferior to Strauss, was performed in 1936. In 1940, Strauss orchestrated Zueignung for the soprano Viorica Ursuleac, who created the role of Helena in Die Agyptishe Helena. Thus came the added dedication in the third strophe over the already extant melodic line: Du Wunderbare Helena, Habe dank!

  • the most wonderful version...

  • @cantorgasma Good joke!

  • a bit brutish, which i suppose is what happens when a lyric plays at being dramatic. give jessye norman's a listen and compare.

  • herr thielemann in bester verfassung,so wie sie auch.

  • Way way way too much drama, no sweetness,nolovingness, Sounds like she's warming up for the "Suicidio",

  • 1:15 - 1:23

    does ANYONE know what she sings there!!?!

    I've only heard Fleming and Kanawa sing that small interlude

    to the very last "Habe Da..." ? No music that I can find has text there!?!??!

  • Not only a great performer and great musician, but a poetic interpreter of texts.

  • This is not the original key, is it? And it's also faster than usual... I don't like this version, altough I really enjoy Renée Fleming's voice.

  • No one should be allowed to sing this except Dame Kiri.
