    Being the sole carer of my elderly parents suffering from dementia for many years, I read Rückert's poem and listen to Mahler's Lieder and just feel rest, peace and meaning. This version by Miss Norman is so delicate that travels into my soul and presents me with the strength and love to carry on. Rest in peace Miss Norman.

    Ms. Norman is a Dramatic Soprano and as such her voice is quite large. The way she controls, holds her voice back and then sings a real pianissimo in the 3rd stanza is breathtaking on its own. She doesn't float the pianissimo, she sings it with the same voice that sails over a full orchestra playing fortissimo in Wagner's "Liebestod" from Tristan and Isolde. She is in control of that amazing gift!

      +Marek Pocestný I have listened to a lot of music, a lot of Mahler, this one I keep coming back to. Like the Adagietto, the way time is suspended and slowed is so magical. He writes 'even slower' when it is already so slow. No other composer does it like this, something with the harp pulsing in the background. This is the perfect combination of words and music ever written, yes, the greatest song ever written.

      I have said those exact words many times when introducing someone to this song who was, to their misfortune, previously unknown to them. It is the most perfect, the greatest song ever written. The use of the woodwinds which are as close as the instrumental world gets to the breath behind the human voice which creates the phrase in similar arches (simplistic, I know but words fail when talking about music). It baffles me that a Dramatic Soprano who is able, without changing anything except her breath, blow the dome off the concert hall with the Liebestodt and contain her voice by controlling her breath to sing such an intimate song as this. Joan Sutherland could not do that. I don't think there is any style or fach or tessitura even that Ms. Norman can't find her way around. Arguably the greatest Dramatic Soprano ever to have lived, if we accept that singers and all musicians have seen a steady increase in the quality and technique of their instruments since the recording era began.

This piece still strikes me as one of the most perfect lieder in the literature: text wed to music. I like the other Ruckert lieder, but his one just blows me away; every time.

    This is my favorite of all the Mahler songs, and Norman sings it the best of all the interpretations I have heard. And, at the very end, after her solo has finished and the orchestra continues to its final notes, instead of cutting it off too soon (as so often happens), she holds the exquisite moment in sublime suspension, until the audience starts to applaud, and even then she does not bow for another moment. Fantastic timing!

    The great, grand dame of vocal music (not just opera) and the great Mahler's best Lied.

    A superb rendition of this piece of music ...so apt for the lyrics/message within! Here again, is a demonstration of importance of differences in voices and purpose for that difference! A dramatic soprano withan overpowering and voluminous voice! Brava, Lady Jessye Norman!

    Elisabeth Schwarzkopf said about Lied singer: at moment of singing the singer has to imaginate what he/she is singing.
    In this manner Jessye Norman is simply perfect.

    Her album was the very first CD I got in the early 1980's. I was forties then, just waking up into the sensuous classic music. Her picture on there was the only image I had. Now what a wonderful world with images on video.

    It has occurred to me that the words to this song are very Zen in nature. Great stuff. This song has nothing at all to do with the actual dying of the physical body, but of letting go of the noise and insistency of the world for your attention to matters of no importance at all to what life is about. When you do that, you live as the last two lines say: "..I rest in a quiet realm! I live alone in my heaven, in my love and in my song!"
    How profound!
    It rings of the 20th Chapter of the Tao Te Ching:
    Stop thinking, and end your problems.
    What difference between yes and no?
    What difference between success and failure?
    Must you value what others value,
    avoid what others avoid?
    How ridiculous!
    Other people are excited,
    as though they were at a parade.
    I alone don't care,
    I alone am expressionless,
    like an infant before it can smile.
    Other people have what they need;
    I alone possess nothing.
    I alone drift about,
    like someone without a home.
    I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.
    Other people are bright;
    I alone am dark.
    Other people are sharper;
    I alone am dull.
    Other people have a purpose;
    I alone don't know.
    I drift like a wave on the ocean,
    I blow as aimless as the wind.
    I am different from ordinary people.
    I drink from the Great Mother's breasts.

      "This song has nothing at all to do with the actual dying of the physical body"
      Yes, this is also mostly due to translation - in German there is no ambiguity in the actual phrasing, i.e. that the death that is spoken of is figurative and not literal.

    FANTASTIC and no superlative sufficient to convey the beauty, the strength, the sheer magic of Mahler's art. A truly wonderful singer with such poise. An interpretation which surely gives the hardest listener a lump in his or her throat.

    She's amazing!! She's from my hometown and I am so proud to say that I from Augusta GA. I really like Diestrich-Fiskeau? singing this also. I don't if that's the right spelling, but I love him also.

    A beautiful, most moving performance. The New York Philharmonic partners Jessye Norman in a superbly expressive communication of Mahler's amazing "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen".
