Lucia Popp belongs to the world greatest singing artists ever, so graceful, so sublime...elegant ❤❤❤!!!!! and Richard Strauss is/was the last great composer of the 20.th. century ...thats for sure!! thx for posting this absolutely masterpiece
Lucia Popp, the loveliest soprano, singing the most beautiful songs ever written. I miss Lucia Popp. I loved her. I still love her. I will know it is my turn to go when I realize my heart is not aching when I hear her "Im Abendrot."
Grandissima e indimenticabile Lucia Popp Georg Solti e Chicago orchestra straordinari.Grazie a tutti e un immenso ringraziamento al genio profondo di Richard Strauss.
What a voice, what music! Shattering and comforting at the same time. For me, Lucia Popp and Jessye Norman are the greatest when it comes to Strauss songs. At the final climax of Beim Schlafengehen (here at 11:40) Jessye's voice sounds like the trombone at the Last Judgement, but Lucia sounds like the angels announcing salvation.
Popp was sublime, rising above this rather heavy-handed accompaniment. It always mystified me that an accomplished opera conductor like Solti often lacked similar skill accompanying soloists, whether vocal or instrumental. Go figure.
Lucia Popp RIP to najwspanialsza gwiazda opery. Wysublimowane piękno w każdym z jej koncertów. Mogę słuchać po wielokroć. Piękno idealne- wrażenia estetyczne na najwyższym poziomie. Dziękuję za udostępnienie.
Absolutely wonderful rendition of this masterpiece. Solti totally controls the powerful orchestra with clear and decisive gestures. Lucia Popp reigned as she nails the rovering melodies and beautifully wrapps all 4 songs. A true dream.
Quelle douceur et quelle évidence. On dirait que c’est écrit pour elle. Et dire que j’ai découvert cette œuvre grâce à Lucia Popp au théâtre Châtelet dans la fin des années 80. Infinie gratitude pour ces instant de profond bonheur et de recueillement. 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this rare of a gem. It's simply sublime but then again one doesn't get anything less or anything else from Lucia Popp. Bless your soul dear Lady 💖
Muito, muitíssimo obrigado de coração, por postar a este sublime vídeo. O mesmo encontra-se absolutamente perfeito, tanto em qualidade de imagem, bem como de som. Fiquei imensamente feliz com essa minha descoberta. Agradeço comovido pela sua sagrada postagem. Lucia Popp bem que merece tão magnífica homenagem.
Since my childhood my favorite version is the one by Jessye Norman and Kurt Masur, but I love so much Lucia Popp and her sublime voice (and Solti !) that now I can say it's a tie :)
I always adored Lucia Popp, but I disagree: NO ONE will ever surpass the divine Jessye Norman in The Four Last Songs. Her diction is superior to Popp's, and her probing of the poems deeper, I believe. That said Popp was indeed one of the great sopranos of the w0th century.
I take Ms. Popp over Ms. Norman for 4 Last Songs......much more understated and legato, which is the whole point of this work. Having a big forte voice doesn't serve the work as well as the softer approach. But. Jessye is right up there, as a close 2d.
Im Konzertsaal war ich noch nie zufrieden mit einer Aufführung der 4 letzten Lieder. Immer fand ich das Orchester zu dominant. Strauss mutet der Sopranistin sehr viel zu . Nur wenige können das meistern. Es gibt viele gute Aufnahmen und es ist unnötig, dabei die "beste" zu suchen. Bei Lucia Popp ist sicher ihr wunderschön dezentes und überhaupt nicht tremolierendes Vibrato zu erwähnen. Brava!
Popp great. This is spoiled for me by Solti’s brutish, ice-cold accompaniments, and Sam Magad’s nanny goat vibrato. Too bad for such a fabulous-sounding orchestra and transcendent soprano.
Un allodola che sveglia la Germania a riprendere il cammino della civilta', fu' la prima canzone trasmessa a radio Amburgo nel 46.Cantava la shwarzkopf.
No wonder Solti, Bernstein, Karajan et al were big fans of this gorgeous woman - sex on a stick plus a beltingly beautiful voice perfectly suited to Strauss - what a lady!

Rest in Peace dear Lucia Popp thank you for all the treasures you left us. May her memory be eternal.
Formidable interprétation ! Lucia Popp était une voix extraordinaire, merci infiniment !

SUBLIME!! One of the VERY few superb Strauss sopranos ever been.
Merveilleuse interprétation de cette musique qui est un adieu à l’Europe traditionnelle. Un des sommets de la musique de tous les temps.
もう完璧素晴らしいルチアポップさんの声と
ショルティさんの指揮何度でも聞いていられます✨

A consolation for the end of the journey. Danke Richard!
Lucia was spectacular. What a loss! R.I.P.
Musica sublime straordinaria interpretazione...commovente, grazie❤
The look in her eyes at the end of the last song says it all.
Lucia Popp n'a jamais été surpassée, elle est pour moi la plus grande cantatrice du XX° siècle.
Although Norman and Studer are great interprets of these Lieder, and Della Casa is rather magic, Lucia Popp still remains the best!
Gundula Janowitz the first choice forever.
Solti rushing through the intro to Im Abendrot at an absurd pace- even for him. But what a ravishing artist Popp was.
Popp was sublime, rising above this rather heavy-handed accompaniment. It always mystified me that an accomplished opera conductor like Solti often lacked similar skill accompanying soloists, whether vocal or instrumental. Go figure.

What a beautiful voice! Loved it
❤překrásný hlas Lucie Poppové je tak povznášející, čistý jak zřejmě byla i její duše...! Jana
Just so beautiful. What a quality she had and such intelligence and just plain talent. Love her.
Definitely one of the top performances of this masterpiece. Thanks for sharing.

bless you l. popp mozart loved you in heaven
ALWAYS love this lady so much!
Stupendo stupendissimo ❤❤
Sublime Lucia Popp ❤💐
How tragic that two of the greatest sopranos ever, Lucia Popp and Arleen Augér,
died way too soon, both from brain cancer. 😢
This is my favourite soprano singing my favourite music. Thank you so ever much!
Božanstveno! ❤🙏🎶🙏❤
I never understood Richard Strauss - UNTIL - I heard the 4 Last Songs -
And Die Frau Ohne Schatten
very great singer, elegant lady.
Angel❤
How wonderful!
Music that tears your heart ❤️
OMG! It’s incredibly beautiful!!!
Pour moi elle restera la plus grande un vrai bonheur. Merci infiniment.
I believe there is ETERNITY.
From Tokyo Japan
Very beautiful, but Jessy Norman is the unbeatable legend. Jessy Norman will be forever the Queen of the Four Songs of Strauss.
Flagstad, Schwarzkopf, Auger, Fleming...

Eu vim pela sua indicação em um outro canal kkk😊
Non mi stancherò mai di ascoltarli

06:42 best horn solos ever ✨💯
Vier letzte Lieder- 2 September- horn solo:

Már megint a Soltinak az őrűlt rohanása ! Nagyon gyors ! Elveszti a szépségét a varázsát ez az eszeveszett rohanás !!!
Yes, the tempi are way too fast, it is a pity because Popp’s singing is wonderful. Better go to Schwarzkopf/Szell, Norman/Masur or Janowitz/Karajan.
La más divina de las sopranos straussianas de todos los tiempos.

我永远的女神 我爱你❤

Solti ice cold???? How dare you!

❤❤❤🎉
Meemaw's a good soprano.
For me, the best in these songs is Teresa Zylis Gara. Scandalously disregarded by the music market.
How can a human being create something like this?
I wonder who that violinist is behind her.
Solti - Chicago, Samuel Magad violin, 1977
Do you know the date of this performance?
I do not know, sorry.
No wonder Solti, Bernstein, Karajan et al were big fans of this gorgeous woman - sex on a stick plus a beltingly beautiful voice perfectly suited to Strauss - what a lady!
What else was on this program ?
I do not know either, sorry.
Im Abendrot est beaucoup trop rapide, dommage. Lucia Popp a une voix presque sans vibrato . . . . .
from which year is this wonderful recording?
Recorded in 1977.
November 2nd 1977
