Oh my God!!! It’s so beautiful 😍

The silence at the end really says it all. Otherworldly beautiful. She is still deeply missed.

Probably the purest soprano voice I've ever heard. This is exquisite.

Absolutely extraordinary! Phenomenal breath control and exquisite tone throughout. A perfect moment. 👏

It’s the security and safety she exudes for me. Not just the singing or technique, but the emotional and mental state she’s maintains during that really is missed in singing today. I want to perform like this

Auger is divine and so is the pianist!

A precious record of the superb artistry of a great singer.

Amazing! This was a gift from God, conveyed to us through Arleen Auger's artistry.

Thank you for this. Arleen Auger is a shining gem in the opera world.

Thanks for posting this exquisite memento of Auger's artistry and extraordinary breath control. Whereas most singers break "in den Frieden /, Der voll Schönheit wartet, daß wir kommen" into several phrases, Auger takes a phenomenally long breath at 2:34 (15-20 seconds long) and knits the whole thing into one long, seamless descending phrase, taking a quick breath after "wartet". Her performance of the song has a rapt serenity that few singers match.

Yes this phrase is essentially 21 seconds in one breath... but in the second simply feels like a short moment. What a divine interpretation

Unfortunately to breathe after "Frieden" is what Strauss wrote in the score, and he wanted singers to go through " der voll Schönheit wartet, dass wir kommen" in one go. Here her choice may defy the composer's wish but it is the safer option - either can be spellbounding and breathtaking if done correctly. Cheers!

Heavenly.

bravo

Thank you for uploading this. It was removed from KZread for a long time and I was so sad it happened because this is the best version of this piece. So happy it’s back and hope it stays :)!

Emocionante.

Richard Strauss würde wahrscheinlich sagen : "G'nau so hab' ich's mir g'wünscht , wunderbar , bravo ! "

Auger war aber auch immer eine meiner absoluten Lieblingssopranistinnen!
