I can only concur with what was written below: the lovely Kiri Te Kanawa singing Strauss’s most gorgeous melody with the most beautiful voice I have heard in my 63 years! Thank you for posting this! I am always moved to tears when I hear it.
I was there and saw this back in 95. It was Dessays house debut (Fiakermili) you could barely hear her the voice was minuscule. Kiri was a curious mix of powerful high notes when she let go and delicate bits like here that you could hear just enough. She moved beautifully on stage and the overall effect of the Baritone abs her was genuine. Helga Dernesch also played her mother!

Dame Kiri has been one of my favourite sopranos since I first heard her singing. Her affinity with the German fach and Maestro Strauss' music is something innately a part of who she is and her interpretation of Maestro Strauss' music is just sublime, as is this excerpt. Listen to her Vier Letzte Lieder under the baton of Sir Georg Solti and be transported as I was.
I heard her live a few times. It was probably the most beautiful instrument I've ever heard, especially in the St. Matthew Passion in Chicago. Freni is my favorite.. so it's real when I say her instrument was the most beautiful I've heard : )
Ohhh..how noble sung by Kiri !! She has got really one of the most beautiful, velvety lyric soprano voices... and this is a moving moment in that opera .o))
This is her greatest role. Her studio recording with Tate is her best full opera recording, the best comercially released Arabella - sublime. I find this video a bit undersung at times (no way you would have heard those whispered phrases in house), but there's no question it's beautiful and that she's absolutely in tune with the character.
Arabella: Und du wirst mein Gebieter sein und ich dir untertan dein Haus wird mein Haus sein, in deinem Grab will ich mit dir begraben sein so gebe ich mich dir auf Zeit und Ewigkeit. Arabella: And you will be my master and I will submit to you your house will be my house I want to be buried with you in your grave so I give myself to time and eternity. Mandryka: Meine Allerschönste, In dieser Stunde erhöhe ich dich, und wähle dich zu meiner Frau, und wo ich der Herr bin, wirst du die Herrin sein und wirst gebieten, wo ich der Gebieter bin. Mandryka: My most beautiful, In this hour I raise you, and choose you as my wife, and where I am the Lord, you will be the Mistress and will command where I am the master

@@stefan7122 , i know it well. Each its own, it's of course a wonderful version but i prefer this one here with Brendel and Te Kanawa. Her piano high notes are floating like a smooth flute, it's very delicious.
It's really a duet about 'Can I be buried among the bones of your ancestors'? A token of affection in olden times, long forgotten and that shall never come again.... The sentiments of the devotees were poured out in solemn Straussian strains by dignified divas like Della Casa, Janowitz, and Kiri te Kanawa... When I hear it the music is still elevating but the sentiments are more than a tad crotchety....
I agree about the beauty of music and the lyrics. All the mentioned singers captured this masterpiece of Strauß extremely well. There is version with Anneliese Rothenberger and Hermann Prey performed for the German Television. Rothenberger was a acclaimmed opera singer but never sang Arabella but instead Zdenka. In that part you can find her with della Casa (Arabella) under Sister Act. Finally, I find that Rothenberger is 100 % in appearence and matches Arabella like no one else. Her voice radiates the warmth and compassion this aria is all about.
@marc20de "Arabella" von Richard Strauss - ich liebe dieses Stück ebenfalls - schon das Schlusstrio von "Rosenkavalier" angehört? Wird dir sicher auch gefallen!! gruß eapus01
Perhaps the most glorious moment in Arabella--late Strauss at his most inspired. Te Kanawa was possessed with a truly beautiful voice, made for Mozart and Straiss and the more lyrical Verdi ( she made an unscheduled Met debut subbing for Stratas in a broadcast of Otello). Why she recorded Tosca, Manon Lescaut and Violetta can only have been a managerial decision of Decca. She could have been sight reading for all the drama she brought. She was clearly a "stimme" diva yet three operas that she performed were Arabella, Rosenkavalier and Capriccio revealed her lack of intimate knowledge of the language. OK Arabella can be excused but the other two require a lieder singer's ability to wed both vocal line and text.
Just compared all the performances ... This is the most delicate and beautifully sung.
Gott ist das schön
one of the most beautiful pieces of art in our world - gigantic!
Wunderschön, danke für so eine begnadete Stimme,und bezaubernde Dame.
Traumhaft schön, völlig mühelos verschmelzen die Stimmen miteinander..🤗
Vielen Dank

Lisa Della Casa and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa are my favourite Arabellas
PD: I should also add Gundula Janowitz
Kiri, goddess of my youth. Thank you for existing.
Das war "Gesangskultur". Einfach wunderbar.
Thank you for posting!
Beyond beautiful! Thank you for posting!

Na ja, da singt aber nebenbei auch noch der wundervolle Wolfgang Brendel, der nicht unerwähnt bleiben muß.
....der nicht unerwähnt bleiben darf!
I saw this opera when the Met livestreamed it. Was worth the three hours.
Pleasure.

Gracias por el video!. Hermoso
Love it.
Simplemente maravillos
Arabella:
Und du wirst mein Gebieter sein und ich dir untertan
dein Haus wird mein Haus sein,
in deinem Grab will ich mit dir begraben sein
so gebe ich mich dir auf Zeit und Ewigkeit.
Arabella:
And you will be my master and I will submit to you
your house will be my house
I want to be buried with you in your grave
so I give myself to time and eternity.
Mandryka:

My most beautiful,
In this hour I raise you,
and choose you as my wife,
and where I am the Lord, you will be the Mistress
and will command where I am the master
I´ve never heard this duet more beautiful than here :-)
I agree! It' s really wonderfull .

@@MWWick ich glaube. auf deutsch kommentieren zu können. Der TV Ausschnitt mit Rothenberger und Prey hat mir gezeigt, welch gute Sänger das waren
Ist aber keine Operette, sondern eine sehr schöne Oper von Richard Strauss, der keine Operetten schrieb!
On peut être rocker dans l'âme, et mélomane. 5o /50. De Schutz à Debussy, Monteverdi à G.Faure. ....de l'opéra au Lied, la nourriture pour l'esprit.
