The presentation of the Rose - Diana Damrau, Joyce DiDonato

Incredibly moving performance of this part of Strauss' "Der Rosenkavalier" by Diana Damrau as Sophie and Joyce DiDonato as Octavian.

At the beginning, Joyce DiDonato tells us about the circumstances of the performance... ^^

@fedtho That's what's in the score - most sopranos I have heard do the same.

[jtg10795]

My favorite mezzo and my favorite soprano

[choirfreak26]

Both women have such full, beautiful voices. It's a pleasure to be able to hear them perform together :)

I love the way Damrau goes extremely quiet for "Wie himmlische, nicht irdische..." (from 3:36) before a hushed orchestra.

That really I had never heard, it's a refreshing idea that makes things much more lively.

Superb.

Diana Damrau is joining the line of Anneliese Rothenberger, Hilde Güden,

Teresa Stich-Randall, Erika Köth and last but not least : Lucia Popp.

She is great
