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",
-
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.
