So schön wie ihr Gesang ist der entspannt-glükliche Gesichtsausdruck.

Very pure, beautiful voice. RIP Arleen. You will always be fondly remembered. Pure GOLD!!

Oh my word sung so perfectly by a beautiful woman. Voice like an angel. Pianist wonderful accompanist.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

Auger was the Midas of Classical Music: everything she touched, she made into GOLD! RIP Arleen, you are missed!

Oh, heavenly days! I've listened to Anna Netrebko, Joyce DiDonato, Renee Fleming, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Jessye Norman (which had always been my favorite version) sing this song prior to hearing this and the studio recording from the same year. This is by far my new favorite rendition of the stunning song. Such grace, such control and she makes it sound so easy.

Exquisite artistry.

Superb. Her voice just floats.

Unbelievable voice technique. 👏👏👏

How beautiful! One of my favorite songs ever, and she sings it beautifully.

After hearing this, I went running looking in my discotheque for her recording of the Chants d’Auvergne. What a pleasure!

Auger was like an angel sent down to give us God’s gift of music and then suddenly she was gone. You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.

Perfectly stated, my friend! She seemed to have no ego at all, offering herself as a transparent conduit for the composer's thoughts to be transmitted directly to the listener. Angelic is the word, all right.

Quelle musicalité bravo

Absolutely stunning. Marvelous singing from this great artist. So expressive and sincere. This is true art.

This beautiful and moving song is sung by the angels who receive the blessed at the portals of Paradise

So beautiful♡♡♡

Her beautiful singing voice is out of this world,. and unrivaled, and indescribable, and outclassing

She's barely moving her lips and yet her voice is so pure and ethereal sounding.

I know! It's like she's lip syncing. It's all in the breath control and glottal closure. Masterful. I've never seen this in anyone except Julie Andrews. (Yes, I said Julie Andrews.)

Одно из лучших сопрано ХХ века

Perfection from both

Maravillosa voz, paraun precioso tema de ""strauss""".!!

This song is refreshment for the soul.

The ''Sie wieder einen in mittel dieser sonnen atmenden Erden'' in one breath and in this tempo is Olympic.

What a lovely performance! just sung as it should be sung

Oh my got. She is just perfect...

Wow... this is ethereal

I call this a moment!

Love it

magic

I do not know why in the concerts, there is always someone who is coughing equal to a tuberculosis person and could cough lower or indoors. Arleen Auger was a " Angel " of music and sang with her soul associated with technical perfection in the voice she possessed and this song of Strauss in her voice makes me cry a lot and pity that she passed away very early. #RestInPeaceArleenAuger

The most beautiful and adequate performance of this piece I've ever heard. Thank you so much.

Astonishing technical skills wedded to great musicality.

Magnificent

La belle version de toutes .magnifique

Die schönste Version, die ich (bisher) kenne... in der reinsten Intonation und ohne irgendeinen aufgesetzten Ausdruck mit unglaublicher Atemführung.

Superb

What a profound interpretation that came from her heart. I loved the evenness of her soprano tone complemented by a poetic sound from the pianist. Indeed a magical combination.

beautiful voice

This sounds so much better in the higher key avoiding the muddy middle that puts one to sleep with this song.

Maravillosa Arleen y además hermosa. Te fuiste muy pronto

perfection

Thank you for this video! I cried.

This is especially stunning when you consider it was a live performance. No do-overs. And still essentially perfect.

Herrgott im Himmel! When I heard Jonas Kaufmann sing this live in 2011 at Zellerbach Hall at UC Berkeley, I thought I would never hear it so beautifully sung. Eyes closed, tears rolling down my cheeks. Jonas, get in line! Behind Arleen!

Almost certain it is Irwin Gage. Two of the more celebrated recordings they have done are the one they did of Strauss & Wolf songs for CBS Masterworks and the subequent & stunning Wolf recording on Hyperion just before she succumed to cancer. His playing has always oozed humanity.

Looking no further. I found the ultimate version.

Indeed it is the pianist that sets the tone of the performance she can sing "nicely" because she doesn't have to give a moments thought to the accompaniment that is played so beautifully.

😃👍👍👍

The pijanist was very good! Tender playing as it should have been done.

Truly stunning piano artistry too! Who is the pianist?

Irwin Gage. Kiel, 1988.

Unbelievably poignant.

Strauss...what a nasty way to treat singers. Having to creep gingerly into the song after the interminable 1 minute intro (1/4 of the piece). Most all singers--no matter how famous they are--sound like hell on those first tenuous notes. I think Arleen Auger does it better than almost anyone.

Blimey, it's Margaret Thatcher! Gerald Moore and Janet Baker are the masters of this one!

It's always odd to me to hear this Lied sung by a woman. The author of the poem wrote it as a love song one man sings to another, and I always have a man in my mind's eye when I hear it. Auger is lovely, but Fischer-Dieskau does for me.

I have yet to hear a bass-baritone who can approach his rich tone, musicality and ability to convey the emotion of the music to the listener. No one comes close! I would have loved to hear him in a quartet with Auger, Hunt Lieberson, and a tenor as yet to be determined. Any suggestions?
