Ik bewonder Anja zeer,vooral ook in haar rollen met Jonas door de jaren heen....de mooiste opname van dit allermooiste lied van Strauss vind ik echter die van Jessey Norman❤
Gundula Janowitz is everything! That's my opinion, and with every next rendition/recording I hear I become more convinced. And I know I'm one of millions. But of course, to each his own.
Simplicité n'est pas naïveté. Je viens d'écouter ce lied par les plus grandes dames, et je découvre Harteros à l'instant. Tout est là! Les mots justement prononcés, les notes bien rondes, le phrasé élégant, le style, et la modestie en plus. Pour parfaire l'émotion, ce qu'il nous faudrait, c'est un chef plus inspiré que celui-ci. Mais Harteros est incontestablement une grande interprète de ce lied qui en a fait trébucher plus d'une, et des grandes....!
I agree, at least as far as a quick net search would reveal, and Mariss Jansons had his part in it too, to no small degree. Most "Im Abendrot" are way too fast. I wish there was a Klemperer recording of it. It would probably last for 15 minutes, hehe.
A me piace molto. Non sono un esperto di vocalità, ma amo particolarmente i lied orchestrali tardo romantici e questa bella signora fa la sua figura. Sta al livello delle interpretazioni che mi piacciono di più, sia su CD che su TH-cam.
Instead of slagging each other off, some of these people should just relax and listen to Strauss's beautiful music. I am sometimes not much of a fan of new singers, but ever since I heard this one I've thought she was very fine indeed. I think Charlotte Margiono might be the best for me, but for some people it's Jessye Norman or someone else. As long as we don't get the popera people thinking they can sing this, we are safe.
Die vier letzten Lieder von Richard Strauss liebe ich sehr und Anja Harteros noch viel mehr. Seit ihrer „Elsa“ im Münchner „Lohengrin“ ist sie für mich jedes Jahr „Sängerin des Jahres“. Auch die Dokumentation „Wie ein Lichter Fluss“ möchte ich gern noch einmal sehen. Für die „Elsa“ zum ersten Mal in AaBayreuth wünsche ich Anja viel Erfolg und alles Gute - leider ohne Jonas Kaufmann? 🌹❤️🎶💕🌷
En Maris Jansons is een van mijn lievelingsdirigenten,naast Claudio Abbado,Antonio Pappano,Jannick Nezet Seguin,Simon Rattle en natuurlijk Klaus Mäkelä!
everybody on here writes about the singers and how they compare to eachother. why??? listen to the beautiful music..music composed by a genius and everybody , no mater what name...popp, norman, janowitz, price, schwarzkopf etc....they all sing with beautiful voices and emotions. listen to the music and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!
michael vier All Divas are Amazing and cant be compared...just different and what music you 'prescribe' yourself depends on your mood and where you need to go To in your THOUGHTS To 'enlighten' Ones True Self!! And THAT! is My Humble Opinion... ;)
At Sunset We've walked, hand in hand, through hardship and joy. Now we both rest from walking across the silent countryside.
All around us the valleys are fading, it has already become dark. Just two larks are still rising, dreamlike, into the heavens.
Stand here, and let them fly about, it will soon be time to sleep, lest we go astray in this loneliness.
Oh further, silent peace! So profound at sunset. How tired we are of traveling: Is this perhaps death? Im Abendrot Wir sind durch Not und Freude gegangen Hand in Hand: Vom Wandern ruhen wir beide nun überm stillen Land.
Rings sich die Täler neigen, es dunkelt schon die Luft, zwei Lerchen nur noch steigen nachträumend in den Duft.
Tritt her und laß sie schwirren, bald ist es Schlafenszeit, daß wir uns nicht verirren in dieser Einsamkeit.
O weiter, stiller Friede! So tief im Abendrot, wie sind wir wandermüde - Ist dies etwa der Tod?
Wonderful performance. Unique among others in that it is the most effortless in tempi, the flow of the music is so natural! Richly instrumentated, but it must be simple, without any mannerism, and being artificial. Thank you!
It is such a beautiful piece. This is great, not surprising coming from Jansons. The Solti with Kiri, also on youtube, is very different but also beautiful. Much quicker.
Beautiful. What an artist. Love her in Verdi - but there's something really special about her Strauss singing. And no. Strauss doesn't have to be lush and Wagnerian ! (though I do love Norman's recording too)
Singing is not a football game. Even losing teams do theirr best, wether it is offence or defence. Every player is not the same as players of equal position. Just sit back and enjoy the perfomance. They all give it their best.
For all who are arguing, they should listen to the renditions given by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Lucia Popp, or even by Gundula Janowitz, and their breathing technique! This young lady is not bad at all...
La version Sawallisch, grand straussien devant l'éternel et désormais à sa droite, méritait tous les éloges pour son classicisme assumé. En plus, elle comblait, avec M Price, une plaie béante dans la discographie de cette oeuvre. La version Jansons est belle, mais surprenante: on dirait que le chef veut faire sobre. Je n'ai pas les mots, mais c'est comme "baroquisé", blanchi, neutralisé... Il faut que je ré-écoute, certes, mais si on a peur des épanchements d'émotion, pourquoi jouer du Strauss?
molto bello questo grande soprano che conosco poco...questo lied mi piace un pò più rapido e meriterebbe una direzione d'orchestra più appasionata, più calda; se no, ci si addormenta....qui ci vedo bebe un Georges Pretre con la Hateros :)
Was ist mit dem Auftakt los? Er klingt, als ob das Orchester sich nicht einig wäre ob es spielen soll oder nicht. Das kennt man nicht von Jansons und seinem BR Sinfonieorchester. Und Frau Harteros ist keine begnadete Liedsängerin. Daß diese im Moment schmerzlich fehlt, macht den Einsatz von Harteros auch nicht besser. Doch lieber auf alte Aufnahmen mit den großen Liedsängern zurückgreifen.
So ein unfassbarer Schwachsinn. Was für ein Beckmesser! Frau Harteros singt das berückend und unfassbar gut und gestaltet grandios, ehrlich und berührend. So will ich Liedgesang hören!
don't believe her "Wir sind durch Not und Freude..." - as Elisabeth Schwarzkopf said at an interview singer of Lied has to imagine what he/she sings at moment of performance even without personal experience
No offense, but ugh! This soprano has a small voice, and even trimming the orchestra down does not address the imbalance. It does, however, make the music less beautiful. Not competitive.
The four last songs are quiet reflective pieces. They do not need a 'Brunnhilde' or a 'Turandot'' to sing them. I feel this performance is near perfection. Regarding the reduced orchestra, think of the songs as chamber music rather than grand Wagnerian arias.
***** I know that "dozens" of sopranos tryied to sing this after Schwarzkopf , this was only an example ..... and this is precisely the problem . I DO NOT believe at all that a great work is an open field for "different" interpretations . Pffouahh ! That's typical neo-liberal rubbish . And it is not my fault if other people have the bad taste to choose to hear shabby interpretations after Schwarzkopf . I would ONLY be open for a BETTER one .
***** No my friend , my personal taste doesn't matter at all . Schwarzkopf sung this with utter beauty . Everybody KNOWS it , but everybody is not able to ACCEPT it . Many people are just too shabby in their own existence to reach and to approve such a beauty . Again , it is not my fault if 50% (?) of the listeners are not courageous enough to live with the cruel beauty of Schwarzkopf and prefer to hear some shit . And yes , "others" who don't "feel" that way are lost in their small shabby world . And it is not my problem .
@105843144139138349477 Die Stimme , oder die Qualität der Aufnahme , sind für mich absolut uninteressant . Nur was drin ist , ist wichtig ! Musik ist viel wertvoller als Ton .
What beauty! The music, the singing, the presentation, the woman.

Mit Jansons ging wirklich ein Musiker von Format! Es sind auch Dirigenten die Sänger formen und Hartaros ließ sich hörbar mitreißen!
Es gibt eine wunderschòne perfektion in dieser performance. was für eine Künstlerin!
Superbe une excellent version
a real, solid artist - fantastic! The presence, the technique... wunderschön, prima!
This is the best I'm Abendrot out there, bravo Frau Harteros!

Schwarzkopf/Szell is great too, check it out:

Masur/Norman's lasts 10 Minutes, very recommendable too.
@@ullrichherz7053 Thanks, that one takes the cake !
One of the best performances by the new generation of Opera singers.
wonderfully sung!!
thanks for the upload.
peace & love
FOR ME... the most beautiful and appropriate voice in this is CHARLOTTE MARGIONO...incredible!
Un canto malinconico e nobilissimo.grazie Anja !
One of greatest performance as im Abentrot !
A me piace molto. Non sono un esperto di vocalità, ma amo particolarmente i lied orchestrali tardo romantici e questa bella signora fa la sua figura. Sta al livello delle interpretazioni che mi piacciono di più, sia su CD che su TH-cam.
After this masterpiece the world went into decline, nothing can overcome it
Beautiful Strauss singing!!!! I love her!!
Mi fa piacere davvero sentire il tuo giudizio! Mi emoziona questa musica e questa artista , l'arte serve a questo !
At the risk of sounding juvenile... : BEST. MUSIC. EVER.

Wonderful Rendition
Très belle interprétation. La meilleure de toutes reste, à ce jour, celle de Jessie Norman avec Kurt Masur à la baguette.
Die vier letzten Lieder von Richard Strauss liebe ich sehr und Anja Harteros noch viel mehr. Seit ihrer „Elsa“ im Münchner „Lohengrin“ ist sie für mich jedes Jahr „Sängerin des Jahres“. Auch die Dokumentation „Wie ein Lichter Fluss“ möchte ich gern noch einmal sehen.

Magnificent!
Gorgeous singing.
Beautifully disciplined vocalizing. Wonderful orchestral playing under Jansons.
Bravissima Anja!!

INCANTEVOLE,MERAVIGLIOSA ANJA!!
Brava, Anja!
Anja , as good as Charlotte Margiono !! Wonderfull !!
Magnificent.
Bellísimas canciones
many thanks for this hint :)
It is such a beautiful piece. This is great, not surprising coming from Jansons.

Isol a Finnish singer the best!
Unbelievable! Perfection!

Anja, I would like to write an opera specially for you !
Good

BRAVA !
Anja et Jansons chantent seulement la musique. Pas comme certaines qui ont commenté et ont compliqué inutilement en se mettant en avant.
For all who are arguing, they should listen to the renditions given by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Lucia Popp, or even by Gundula Janowitz, and their breathing technique! This young lady is not bad at all...

Because they wish to, and it is there right.
