@Trinite33 When you have 30 operas in your head in at least 5 different languages, good luck remembering when you have an eighth-note or a quarter-note pause.

You're right. I just checked and it's in E-flat. I still prefer the bari voice. But, hey, that's just me!

@flylooper well, she is singing all of the songs in the right key according to my score...
-
She will be missed.
But honestly, keying the song up for soprano voice leaves me cold. It was written for mezzo/contralto or baritone. Thomas Hampson's version (here on You Tube) is just superior to anything I've ever heard. YMMV...

Rest in peace, Dame Margaret. You were the Countess in the very first opera I ever saw live, and I have never forgotten the beauty of your "Dove Sono."

Who´s the conductor?

If you love for beauty, oh, do not love me!
Love the sun, she has golden hair!
If you love for youth, oh, do not love me!
Love the spring, it is young every year!
If you love for treasure, oh, do not love me!
Love the mermaid, she has many shimmering pearls!
If you love for love, oh yes, do love me!
Love me ever, Ill love you evermore!

Liebst du um Schönheit, o nicht mich liebe!
Liebe die Sonne, sie trägt ein goldnes Haar!
Liebst du um Jugend, o nicht mich liebe!
Liebe den Frühling, der jung ist jedes Jahr!
Liebst du um Schätze, o nicht mich liebe!
Liebe die Meerfrau, sie hat viel Perlen klar!
Liebst du um Liebe, o ja mich liebe!
Dich lieb' ich immer dar!

Oh, how beautiful; I love Margaret Price. This was my favorite encore to sing. Now I'm a very old woman and I get joy from hearing other people sing.
Wonderful!
Beautifully sung, with a tremendous connection to the text. A real treat
to see and hear one of my favourite
sopranos of all time!
Brava Margaret and as always, thanks
for posting!
