Interesting. A shame that the notes sung below the stave -such as middle C - seemed much quieter than the high notes. And the guitar is the underdog beneath top dog Clarinet. Otherwise, an admirable performance.
The piece is nearly impossible to play as written. It demands a coloratura soprano, yet dips below the normal range for such a voice type, and there is an obvious acoustic imbalance between the three instruments that is extremely difficult to overcome in a performance. While I hugely admire this composition, Webern displays equal parts inexperience and utopian fantasy in its elaboration.
the vocal range and dexterity demanded is ridiculous the sentiment of the text Webern sets does not come through to me at all through the music. I like other compositions by Webern though...
Beautiful! Webern: economy, and extreme concentration, among other things. So much music condensed in only a little over three minutes!
Music, you say? : D
Christiane Oelze is world class. Reminds on Margaret Price in her increabible Altenberg Lieder by Berg, conducted by Abbado.

Love watching your videos! Keep it up!
Fabulous.
Astonishing.
This must've sounded to people in 1925 what Ferneyhough sounds like to us now. Such a great and unique piece!
it's crazy what he was able to do a hundred years ago, and to this day people find it indigestible
The guitar is playing way to softly. Most of the time it is marked the same dynamic as the clarinet
Bierre Poulez … ha ha ! Good one

To me it was not a good decision to have the guitar so far away from the centre of the mix.
Espantoso. Felicitacines al silencio posterior a ultima nota.

These are just horrible. I mean vocally. They're not expressive. All one can do is shriek.
The singer is clearly singing here, no shrieking.
