Richard Strauss will always be my absolut favorite composer ..Music from Heaven. i love the last 2 minutes of the first act.. ..the music is sooooo beautiful ...fantastic singers : Baltsa ❤ and Sintow❤ and Moll ... the Orchester and of course Karajan thx for posting

Anna Tomowa-Sintow made me cry in the end. What an interpreter , singer , actress!!!Great DIVA!!! Love the whole cast !!! Agnes Baltsa is fantastic!!!

This is the best version. Singing could be best appreciated. The balance of orgestra and singing is perfect.

46:40 huge low C from Moll.

An absolutely great post. Thank you.

"Am Ende des Regenbogens"......

Anna Tomowa-Sintow vocally and dramatically is my favorite Marschallin. The voice is unique and unmistakeable, she really emphasises the fact that the Marschallin is a woman straining against the decorum of her station. I expected to enjoy Baltsa more, but she sounds underpowered and a size too small for the role. Maybe I've been listening to too much Jurinac. Janet Perry isn't in this act, but she made no impression on me at all.

did you ever hear Baltsa live in an Opera House? I did many times and I can assure you that she had a really strong voice

@@herbertstrenn1635I said I found it underpowered here in the Strauss idiom. Something about her voice for me lacks a little color and weight for the rich orchestral texture.

Pitch is nearly a semitone high

This is because the Vienna Philharmonic tunes far higher than A = 440.

I just sampled several recordings and this sounds maybe a few Hz sharp - nowhere near a semitone.
