Richard Strauss saved my Grandfather's life !! My Grandfather - Jascha Spivakovsky - was a prominent Jewish concert pianist in Germany in the year before Hitler came to power and friends with Strauss. Strauss found out my Grandfather was on a Nazi hit-list and warned him using a musically-coded note. Were it not for that, my Grandfather would have been assassinated, but instead he left Germany just in time and went to Australia where I was eventually born. Thank you Mr.Strauss for saving my Grandfather's life !! Strauss wasn't just a great composer, he was also a good man !!

This glorious music was balm to my soul this morning. There are many fabulous recordings of this sublime work by Strauss, but Schwarzkopf's interpretation/recording has remained at the top for me through the decades. Yes, there are some vocalists with "better" or more "operatic" voices, there are later recordings with better recording sonics, but the sensitivity, poetic enunciation, and soulfulness of Schwarzkopf's interpretation sings to my heart as no other does. The fourth and last song always breaks my heart and brings tears to my eyes. ❤️❤️❤️
Comment ne pas fondre de bonheur en écoutant ce monuments de la musique classique . Bonheur renouvelé a chaque écoute et presque a chaque foi une larme d'émotion perle a mes yeux même si je ne comprend pas les paroles .Merci monsieur Richard Strauss !!!
Open a bottle of red, put your feet on the table and close your eyes - just fabulous

Strauss wanted Flagstad to sing the premier, and she did in 1950 in London. The manuscript to a fifth song was owned by Maria Jeritza who kept it in her safe during her lifetime. "Malven" was premiered just a few years ago by Eva Marton. Have not heard of it being added to the previous four, that were published by Strauss' friend Ernst Roth.
Quelle magnifique oeuvre ! Et cette voix superbe vous transporte dans la beauté que la musique nous fait entrevoir!!

I used to use Schwarzkopf and Kiri Te Kanawa singing Beim Schlafengehen to test, and to demo, audio equipment I designed, in A/B comparisons at clients' homes, against high-end gear they owned. Worked like a charm....and made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Decades before the whole 'ASMR' meme became popular. We called it an 'eargasm'.
For me the definitive interpretation of these valedictory masterpieces.

I have listened to Schwarzkopf sing this most beautiful music since I was 16 (now 83) and never failed to be moved to my depths every time.
Drops of celestial love condensed in etheric tones. Tones that caress my soul, cure it, sweeten it, fill it with peace and gratitude.
Harmonies are just mind blowing.
Sublime and certainly divine and the music to die hearing!
I was unaware of this disc with the great Szell conducting. It is just marvellous. Schwarzkopf is at her finest and right near the end of her career too!
A superb recording Elisabeth and Szell due the world great justice . Brava Schwarzkopf.

Velvet?!? It's small, the and brittle. Very dry sounding.
That’s the highest music what was ever found on Earth!
Schwarzkopf also does an amazing Marschlin in Der Rosenkavelier.
The *purest* interpretation without any doubt, since the creation -- by K. Flagstad --, of these marvelous lieder. Still today, listening to them is the same enchantment since my (distant) youth... On her very last performance of the "4 letzte Lieder" (september 1970, at the Brussels' Opera de la Monnaie), she accompanied Jorge Dönn, the star dancer of the "Ballets du XXe siècle", on a Maurice Béjart choreography, "Serait-ce la Mort ?". Un-for-get-table!

After 50 years this is still by far my favorite interpretation of these songs. Norman is fine but for my ears "too loud" and direct. Kiri Te Kanawa has a lovely voice that is honest and frank. Schwarzkopf brings a subtlety but maintains that timeless German feeling and depth. Thank you for placing this on You Tube.

Fantastic rendition of Richard Strauss' swam song. I know which music to be played when I die .
This album was my introduction to Strauss's 4 Last Songs. It was given to me by a neighbor as a housewarming gift on my first night in my first apartment. I didn't speak a word of German at the time. 2 years later I was majoring in German Language and Literature.
exquisite and beyond all others.
The best singer of our era. I get chilllllls over all of my body just listening the control, interpretation and finesse of her technique. Thank you for posting this recordings.
La grâce et la beauté la pureté à l’état pur.un merci à jamais et pour toujours MADAME
A los 21 años escuché a Elisabeth Schwarzkopf cantar Vier letzte lieder y sentí mi cuerpo entero vibrar en aquella llamada que Strauss nos dejara como última ofrenda. ¡Qué mejor legado! ¡Qué mejor interpretación! Hoy la recibo más que un recuerdo como dádiva renovada “Ahora te muestras/ en tu esplendor y atavío,/ inundada de luz/ ante mi, como un milagro”. Gracias sean dadas por escuchar de nuevo el canto último en la esperanza de que pronto llegue el remanso y se apaguen las candilejas de este escenario para yacer en el silencio. Ya no vibra mi cuerpo pero mi alma siente la urgencia de esa luz que no es otra que el fulgor que precede al apagón final.

This was the second recording that ES made; a third was released as an anniversary issue, a live performance. My own preference is this taping in which the artists admits to having transposed some of the vocal lines. No matter as her total involvement in the text is supreme and resources have been husbanded so that the total effect is supreme. I adore this singer and was lucky enough to have seen her in Mozart and Strauss roles which she retained as she shifted her main activities to the recital stage. A great artist.

My god...thank you; the first person I've ever come across who noticed Fruhling was in B minor instead of C minor. It's a real shame, as it thickens the orchestration a little, & as a soprano she really should have no trouble with any of the songs. Still, no-one sung them quite like she did, though her recording with Ackermann, whilst in mono, is even better.
surely the greatest liric soprano of all time, with all respects to the 2 closest to her,.... Vickie de l and eliz. schumman repeat, for us who SAW singing in the 50,s/60,s, time to die.!!!!!!!!!!!

0:00 *Frühling* _(Hermann Hesse)_ In dämmrigen Grüften Träumte ich lang Von deinen Bäumen und blauen Lüften, Von deinem Duft und Vogelsang. Nun liegst du erschlossen In Gleiß und Zier, Von Licht übergossen Wie ein Wunder vor mir. Du kennst mich wieder, Du lockst mich zart, Es zittert durch all meine Glieder Deine selige Gegenwart. --- 3:41 *September* _(Hermann Hesse)_ Der Garten trauert, kühl sinkt in die Blumen der Regen. Der Sommer schauert still seinem Ende entgegen. Golden tropft Blatt um Blatt nieder vom hohen Akazienbaum. Sommer lächelt erstaunt und matt in den sterbenden Gartentraum. Lange noch bei den Rosen bleibt er stehen, sehnt sich nach Ruh. Langsam tut er die großen müdgewordnen Augen zu. --- 9:06 *Beim Schlafengehen* _(Hermann Hesse)_ Nun der Tag mich müd gemacht, soll mein sehnliches Verlangen freundlich die gestirnte Nacht wie ein müdes Kind empfangen. Hände, laßt von allem Tun, Stirn, vergiß du alles Denken, alle meine Sinne nun wollen sich in Schlummer senken. Und die Seele unbewacht will in freien Flügen schweben, um im Zauberkreis der Nacht tief und tausendfach zu leben. --- 14:32 *Im Abendrot* _(Joseph von Eichendorff)_ Wir sind durch Not und Freude gegangen Hand in Hand; vom Wandern ruhen wir beide nun überm stillen Land. Rings sich die Täler neigen, es dunkelt schon die Luft. Zwei Lerchen nur noch steigen nachträumend in den Duft. Tritt her und lass sie schwirren, bald ist es Schlafenszeit. Dass wir uns nicht verirren in dieser Einsamkeit. O weiter, stiller Friede! So tief im Abendrot. Wie sind wir wandermüde-- Ist dies etwa der Tod?

The best interpretation ever. Thanks for posting.
There are times when music seems to come from another world, bringing with it ineffable bliss and peace. This is surely one such. For me the comparable pieces are Janet Baker in "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" and the Chorus Mysticus in the Symphony of a Thousand.
Maravillosa música ,como una caricia que roza tu alma
This glorious music must never be far from my reach. This one with Szell has been with me for decades (as has the Ackerman also, but this one suits me more). Others that I've loved almost as much are Gundula Janowitz and Lisa Della Casa (she made two with Karl Böhm, at the moment I forget which of the two I prefer). These three magnificent sopranos have been my choices for decades. Then not too long ago I came upon the version with Lucia Popp and Tennstedt conducting, and was I ever smitten! Lucia is now my favourite but I would chop off the hand of anyone trying to take Elisabeth from me! I have listened to and studied dozens of other recordings including Norman, Te Kanawa, Fleming, but none from those dozens comes close to any of the four mentioned above, IMO.
Im Abendrot slays me...
Apparently this is what Michel Foucault listened to when he tripped acid in the desert "We went to Zabriskie Point to see Venus appear. Michael placed speakers all around us, as no one else was there, and we listened to Elisabeth Schwarzkopf sing Richard Strauss’s, Four Last Songs. I saw tears in Foucault’s eyes. We went into one of the hollows and laid on our backs, like James Turrell’s volcano, and watched Venus come forth and the stars come out later. We stayed at Zabriskie Point for about ten hours."
I grew up listening to Elisabeth Scharzkopf singing the Four Last Songs, and saw her perform them with the Seattle Symphony in the old Orpheum Theatre in downtown Seattle. I adored her on the recording, and fell in love with her when I saw her perform. I'm so grateful that you posted this on KZread. Thank you.
Es una verdadera maravilla la interpretación que logra hacer Elizabeth Schwrazkopf
I find words.. utterly insufficient. I am left to just appreciate in silence.
The sheer courage of the wind players at the end of Im Abendrot (granted it's a recording) is - well "when giants roamed the earth" type playing. "The likes of which we shall nevermore see."
