"By some chance, here they are, all on this earth; and who shall ever tell the sorrow of being on this earth, lying, on quilts, on the grass, in a summer evening, among the sounds of the night. May God bless my people, my uncle, my aunt, my mother, my good father, oh, remember them kindly in their time of trouble; and in the hour of their taking away." "as one familiar and well-beloved in that home: but will not, oh, will not, not now, not ever; but will not ever TELL ME WHO I AM."

Lovely musicality of the voice & emotional theatricality in voice and gestures. Masterful performance.

My goodness ! One of my most favorites, beautifully played, and what a joy watching Golda Schultz! She didn't just sing that perfectly, she lived it.

Beautiful ❤

Barber's expression of childhood joy, and loss, and recovery rends me to tears at every presentation; Ms.Petokolski's rendition is warm and tender, demonstrating the universality of the feelings. And, after 70 some years, and knowing some things about loss, and recovery, and simple joy, this is sublime.

Brilliant words from you.

Never heard of Golda Shultz before - wow, she's great! So warm and a great storyteller. (Edit: stupid autocorrect!)

Love how Schultz intertwines her voice with the orchestra - great singer!

The great American composer! He often fretted that his adagio was so popular and wanted his other pieces to gain in popularity!

This is simply beautiful! Everything about it seems “just right.” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I first heard this music one summer evening. Barber really knew how to write wonderfully lyrical songs. This great performance by Golda Schultz and philharmonique de Radio France is just splendid.

Spot on performance. Just so, so good in every way.

Magnificent! Great breath control

Absolutely beautiful performance

Stunning. Magnificent. Best interpretation of this work I have ever heard.

Stunningly exquisite 😍

How does this only have 8k views it deserves millions so well done

Very lovely

So beautiful

Merveilleux poésie bien sûr splendeur et qu'elle beauté Merci

Bravo.

Fabulous, rendered to perfection. Schultz is phenomenal in their interpretation, elevating this masterpiece of poetry.

Spectaculaire

Ms. Shultz is so lovely. And this is a real American classic. So well written and does so much of what new operas don't do for singers. I heard Ms. Shultz this past season sing Luonnotar of Sibelius with BSO. So good I went back for a second hearing. Mr. Peltoskoski shows his inexperience as an interpreter. Yes it's lovely and he keeps things together and is with her every moment but... where is the character of this music? This is the dullest conducting of this piece I have ever heard. And he's going to be moving into no less than 3 post of importance and a DG recording contract? When will he have time to do more than learn the notes and wave his arms? So far he has not proved himself as an interesting conductor and why would he, at 23, have the years of wisdom required. Technically hes' very competent but that does not make interesting music making.

Nice interpretation, brought the text to life with communicative gestures and moving expression. Too fast for my taste though.
