I have played this clip with Edith Mathis singing hundreds of time and have enjoyed it immensely ! It is amazing to see a video of a live performance from 1968 when I was a mere 12 years of age and still be able to enjoy it 42 years later at the age of 54! It's as if time has stood still... Every time I hear the last phrase "Daß alles für Freuden erwacht." and that final scale passage, I don't want it to end! Thanks to Leonard Bernstein, Edith Mathis and that wonderful orchestra!

The lyrics are taken from The Youth's Magic Horn, a collection of South-Western German folk poems edited between 1805 and 1808. The collection was an important source of idealized folklore in the Romantic nationalism of the nineteenth century.

So innocent, unblemished. Sublime.

Commentaire indigne!

Her beauty is equally as stunning as her voice. (she makes my pants tight)

[Zadig651]

Merveilleux

[CornfieldHolden]

the singing from the phrase that starts at 6:49 runs down my spine in shivers. The whole orchestra+soprano seem to make up one great sail waving in the wind...

[Aspasietta]

Einfach perfekt.
