A wonderful performance by both singers! And i am great amazed by Anton Dermota' style of singing. It is so elegant and calm! Many thanks for sharing, dear Janja.

Further biographical notes on Miss Steingruber: she sang the title role in Berg's Lulu in the first recording released on LP in the early 50's and, later, in a live RAI broadcast with Maderna that you can find on CD. She was also soprano soloist in the world premiere of Boulez's Le visage nuptial in Cologne in 1957 with the composer conducting.

@musikgeni Nobody beats Hilde Zadek with Dermota in this music: slower, more expressive and intimate, and the orchestra far superior.

@100Singers Have you heard Hilde Zadek with Dermota? I's VERY special, more intimate and more in tune; the tempo is slower and more expressive too.

Das Foto zeigt Ria Ginster!

Thank you so much! It makes Korngold's biographer very happy!

Yes, you are correct. I made a further research of the Internet and it seems that the singer is Ilona Steingruber. I'll correct the info.

Yes she did record it, but alas the track you have is not it so that site is also wrong! I have uploaded the actual recording on my channel - have a listen and you will hear the difference. The channel is called BRENDANGCARROLL

I don't know about that. I got the aria with these names. But she recorded the aria, as shown here:
" Dermota, Anton (ten.) 10" el. Harmona 14004 +Hilde Zadek (sop.): Glück, das mir verblieb (mx.526)/ Nacht auch Sorge trüb "Tote Stadt" (Korngold) mx.527
2 ". This is from the site Phonopassion - Antiquariat und Archiv historischer Tonträger ...
You're right about. picture. I got it also from Internet - someone must have it mislabeled.

Not only is this NOT Hilde Zadek, the photo at the start of the video is actually Ria Ginster! The soprano is Illona Steingruber with Dermota. I will post Zadek's much superior version on my channel.
this is the best version of this duet here on youtube. tauber and schumann are good but such an old recording.

I agree with musikgeni: It´s the best version I know from this wonderful piece of music (Most of the times, tenors scream the part of Paul, but Dermota sings!) - and again many thanks to you my dear for posting such a treasure!
