Exquisitely done by both; Dessay does the first phrase at 2:38 in one breath. And the "look'at 3:35 is perfect.

Magnifiques! Dessay est de la magie... déconnexion totale. Merci à cette dame pour ce qu'elle apporte; je l'ai vue dans les Contes d'Hoffamn avec Haddock à Orange et tous étaient superbes

I heard a clip of this von Otter and Bonney and loved it but this with Dessey is just as lovely and a surprise. I never knew Dessey sang Strauss. Such a light and lyrical style.

Un bellissimo duetto, emozionante

Wow❤Beautiful!!! Beautiful staging! Beautiful Anne&Natalie✨✨✨

Wow, 2:27 makes me cry every time. I’m in love with this rendition. I performed the suite to this wonderful opera about a year ago. So happy I found this amazing video.

I know little about this sort of music, but I do know I should have listened to more of it.

And Güden should never be forgotten in a list of the best Sophies, as well. That 1954 version with Jurinac as Oktavian and Kleiber conducting is one of the most beautiful things one's ever going to hear. ;-)

I didnt know Dessay had sung Sophie. Contrary to what most people write here, I find her singing quite beautiful and radiant and the two voices blend extremely well. Delightful!

In an interview for arte in 1993 Natalie Dessay said that the possibilty to sing Sophie was actually the main reason why she became a member of the ensemble of the Vienna States Opera. It was originally not planed that she sings Olympia...

Ms Dessay is gorgeous

Merci Richard Strauss

Thank you for uploading this historical document: It was one of two performances Natalie Dessay ever sang Sophie - and I was the lucky guy to hear both of them live! :-)

I love this recording so much. I tear up every time starting at 2:38 I performed this summer of 2019, and it has completely changed my outlook on music and emotional expression.

Magnifique!

dessay und von otter sind mir die liebsten

Grosse Duetto.

Let's not forget Stich-Randall on the 1957 EMI Angel recording.

Grande cantora, imensa atriz a Dessay!

évidement sublime....

Excellent!

👏👏👏👏👏

Wonderful

I love Ms. von Otter. Dessay is excellent here, but Barbara Bonney is probably my favorite Sophie that I've heard.

Bonney is in my top three. Morley as well.

Interesting.... Here (3:37) the trumpet plays an E NATURAL, when the score says Eflat... I must say I prefer the subtle harmonic of the E natural, as an appogiatura to the top note, but... Then I listened to different versions and quite a few of them play the E natural as well....

superbe

Bellísima Aria

@64marc64 Deutsch Grammaphon released a DVD of the full production, I bought it over the summer. It's awesome.

brillante!

Where could I find the recording of this or even video with the two of them? I love both of them!

Bonney can’t be beat.

Lucia Popp right on. Young Schwarzkopf with a bit of steel in her voice and excellent too.

You HAVE to send this to me!!!!

@64marc64 I'm not sure if it's available on DVD, but I know there is video out there of this full production from 1994 in Vienna, but with Bonney as Sophie. Unfortunately, the 2 clip I posted is all I have.

Blague à part, Dessay est excellente,mais en terme de style, je reste perplexe. Quant aux plus belles Sophie du monde, je veux citer Berger, Streich über alles, et bien sur Rothenberger, "the best on earth" selon le mot de Lotte Lehmann.

Il ne faut pas oublier les conditions dans lesquelles elle a fait cette Sophie, toute jeunette en troupe à l'opéra de Vienne, sans AUCUNE répétition avec orchestre.... Alors le style... son 1er grand et long rôle en allemand... par la suite elle a eu le temps et l'occasion de l'acquerir, avec d'innombrables Zerbinette, une Fiakermilli au Met, des Schweigsame Frau (Wien et Paris)... Mais oui dommage qu'elle n'ait pas pris le temps de mûrir ce rôle que, je crois elle n'a jamais beaucoup aimé.

It si ok. But Bonney forever!

The best Sophie ever was Anneliese Rothenberger !!!!

Sophie is a child, to be fair.

Beautiful production and von Otter is sublime in the title role, only wish they'd found a warmer voiced Sophie. While Dessay's acting is uncharacteristically poised (to the point of seeming sedated), that metallic, spreading, uneven tone makes the character sound cheap to me.

povero Strauss ...

I just don’t think Dessay is suit for this role.
