Thank you so much for your work here. So good to follow along with the score.

One of the best Wesendonck lieder performance. Anne Evans is simply sublime.

[@tommymoore8390]

Delightful. Thank you for posting this. ✌

[@DottoreSM]

you can hear how the beginning of act 3 and the love duet in the act 2 of tristan are largely based on the third and fourth songs of this cycle

[@iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivy]

@Boris Sitnikoff I think that these songs would have preceded Tristan by a little bit, though not much. These were likely written before their corresponding sections in the opera, but I bet Wagner wrote them with the intention of using them in said opera.

Why can't people stop coughing for a few minutes, damn it?!?

[@mark-j-adderley]

Vel, vi vet hvem det gjelder, og når. Sublim.

[@counterpointenthusiast]

the harmonies and orchestration of the beginning and ending bars of the fifth lied are so beautifully peaceful. gorgeous compositions, although I find the vibrato and drama of the singer a bit much at times. nonetheless a nice recording.

[@bartjebartmans]

Why are you always so critical?

[@counterpointenthusiast]

​@@bartjebartmans because thinking about the performances I listen to is a meaningful part of my interaction with them. and there are always aspects about them that I won't like, but I don't think that's a problem. rather, it gives them all uniqueness and I like them for different reasons. also its something that gets me to want to do it the way I see it myself.
being critical in the literal sense of the word isn't bad, because a critique is not negative in itself, its just an assessment. so yeah, I do have something negative to say about many performances and compositions, but that doesn't mean I don't value them, quite the opposite. I think about them deeply because I do.

[@bartjebartmans]

@@counterpointenthusiast calling me snarky is part of the way you see yourself? You are confusing me.
