I prefer this version in English, although her rendition in German is also very nice. The lyrics:
Oh! had I Jubal's lyre, or Miriam's tuneful voice to sounds like his I would aspire, in songs like hers rejoice, My humble strains but faintly show how much to heaven and thee I owe.
Gorgeously light, limpid tone, wonderfully musical, and English diction not too bad, with a charming accent as a bonus. The great Victoria de los Angeles, a revelation and a delight!
What a magnifiscent performance! But then, when did V D L Angeles deliver anything less?
(5* of course)
