[@antonyd.i.barnard4414]

How very very beautiful!

[@ohmy5650]

Truly exquisite music & all interpreters, Fleming sumptuous as the wonder she is.

[@elgar104]

Korngold - the most under-rated composer of the last 200 yrs. Glorious.

[@janiceedwards2384]

I could not agree more. I discovered Korngold's songs about 20 years ago and have been in love with his harmonic language, to mention but just one feature of his genius, ever since.

In agreement with this. Korngold was a true genius. This opera was composed when he was only 27 years old. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Wunder_der_Heliane

[@janebrown6722]

@@jsphotos Der Tote Stadt is an even greater Opera. If you haven't - you should!

[@jsphotos]

@@janebrown6722 I have and you are exactly right. Thanks, Jane. Korngold's violin concerto is another gem; he was a genius (I don't use that word lightly)

[@jacqui494]

Fleming has so much color in her voice.💕🎶🥰

[@orvillelawton5057]

Simply GORGEOUS singing. Her interpretation is exquisite.

[@emerencianus]

Korngold + Fleming = Perfection

[@tonybarnard8071]

The most moving aria I have ever heard beautifully sung by the greatest singer of our times. And thank you Korngold!

[@davidsolomon8203]

Only Wagner’s Liebestod can be compared to this heart-wrenching declaration of Love, sacrificing oneself for another, for others!!! My heart would surely stop if I should ever hear singing more glorious than This!

[@aschkinable7748]

Lisen to the wonderful opera "die tote Stadt " 👌💝

[@erick-gd7wo]

Renee Fleming's version of Ich Ging Zu Ihm made me cried...

[@bryangl1]

Two sublime arias by Korngold, the most under-recognised composer of all. And here sung in virtually perfect interpretations by Ms Fleming. Note the way she uses her stole to suggest the actions of the text in the second, more significant, aria. That music of such maturity and sensuality could be composed by a person so young is, to me, incredible.[Das Wunder der Heliane, opera in 3 acts, was composed when Korngold was 27.]

[@piperlapap]

Korngold was the last great German composer. I have greatest respect for Renée Fleming paying tribute to his lifetime achievement by singing some of his arias which are said to be very demanding on the singing abilities of an opera singer. She solves this difficult task with her beautiful voice, with fervor, vocal virtuosity and multifacetism, accompanied by her charming smile.

[@user-skdkqodkwodkdoeoej]

paperlapip Korngold is Austrian and he moved to America.

[@maggregororeactivation7037]

she is the best, amazing,made me cry...

[@orvillelawton5057]

Absolutely gorgeous singing and wonderful interpretation of these two songs. Korngold's music is sublime. I sooo enjoyed hearing these pieces and Renee Fleming

@Cameron Jesus thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@TheKFFowler]

I came to listen out of an academic interest in Korngold's work. I was pouring tears by the time it ended. What is music for - if not to move us so?

[@colettebrasseur884]

Sa superbe voix semble sortir sans aucune difficulté. Quel ravissement!

What a voice......

[@bennettmarkel7724]

Wonderful songs. Hurray Korngold, who probably wrote the words as well

[@grantveebeejay535]

Ich ging zu ihm is a masterpiece. While not a fan of the fractured registration of Fleming I am thrilled at this as an operatic composition. So very touching in sentiment with the elegance of Korngolds hand. Beautiful!!!

[@janetflier6192]

I love her gown!! Such a pretty shade of green!

[@Dolentibus]

Thank you for the best upload I can find of this fabulous performance of "Ich ging zu ihm". (Lovely to have the, even rarer, aria from Die Kathrin, too!) I just wish we had a little more of the uproarious applause. Listen carefully, particularly from about 8.00 minutes. From the words "He was beautiful", we get the most erotic, ecstatic climax in all music. If this doesn't make the hair stand up on the back of your neck...

[@jsphotos]

Here is the same performance of only "Ich ging zu ihm" without subtitles, but extended applause at the end kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIG9qIeArreEhpo

merci de nous faire partager ces deux chansons

[@FranciscoFerrerGaliana1930]

Dos exquisitas canciones

[@robertlambeaux4802]

Quelle belle découverte!

[@Altonahh10]

Fleming ist die ideale Interpretin für Musik aus dieser Zeit. Wahrscheinlich hätte sie die Partie der Heliane nicht singen können, auch Tomowa-Sintow ist auf der Aufnahme eher gescheitert. Wie schön, dass Berlin eine umjubelte Produktion dieser Oper in diesen Tagen mit überragender Besetzung feiern darf.

[@GiampaoloTestonicompositore]

Korngold un genio assoluto, Fleming voce miracolosamente espressiva, lacrime di emozione che non si possono trattenere

[@Theofile13]

The music and the delivery are simply haunting. Have lost count of how often I've watched this. Would like to know what the lyrics are in German. Anyone?

[@Martinowor]

Ich ging zu ihm, der morgen sterben sollt. Der Abend neigte sich--da ging ich hin. Er bat mich um mein Haar, ich gab es ihm. Er bat um meine Füsse. Aus den Schuh'n Trat ich und gab ihm die entblössten Füsse. Er warf sich hin, erflehend meinen Leib, Der löst ich das Gewand von mir und stand, Wie mich mein Gott erschaffen, vor ihm: nackt. Ich war sein in gedanken...ja, ich war's! Auf meine Knien bat ich zu Gott, das er Die Kraft mir schenke, bis zu vollenden. Nicht hab ich ihn geliebt. Nicht ist mein Leib in Lust entbrannt. Doch schön war der Knabe Schön wie ein Stern ihm vergehen. Und neigt ich mich, So tat ich's, damit sein armes Aug Noch Liebe könne sehen, ehe dass es bräche. Und also schwör ich, Gott nehme mich hinauf In den Himmel, So war ich nun schwöre: Nich hat mich Lust meines Blutes zu jenem Knaben getrieben, Doch sein Leid Mit ihm getragen, und bin in Schmerzen Sein geworden. Und nun tötet mich.

[@Theofile13]

Thanks. Happy New Year!

[@herminioteixeira5921]

Fleming é, do sopranismo contemporâneo, a detentora da mais perfeita e delicada voz.

[@juliangernos]

Korngold may not have composed as much as Bach, Mozart or Betthoven, but unlike them, every single piece is a masterpiece of its kind. Not so much underrated today as woefully unknown and underperformed.

[@fireatheart]

The first song is so incredibly beautiful that I assumed it was from "Die Tote Statd", but no: it's " Die Kathrin", which happens to be my favourite Korngold opera. Its only major weakness is that it gets weaker in the last half, whereas "Die Tote Statd" is great through and through.

[@dundai100]

MAGNIFIQUE

[@jsphotos]

This performance of Ich ging zu ihm is without parallel, in my experience. A rare jewel! Incidentally, here is the same performance of only "Ich ging zu ihm" (without subtitles), but extended, enthusiastic - and well-deserved - applause at the end kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIG9qIeArreEhpo -

singing on this level is very hard work and means very few socialising. its a hard life....

Edu16, I beg to disagree, unless you can name anybody comparable from pre-1818.

Natürlich,gesanglich eine tolle Leistung-aber mir ist das zu schrill,zu Straußig. Jessye Norman würde ich dazu gerne hören.

[@robinmiller9865]

Gorgeous but marred somewhat by that confounded baton wielder weaving about!

[@kentholmes3570]

Wonderful accompanist -- extremely difficult music which requires sympathetic conducting. What do you think goes on in the pit?

[@tonybarnard8071]

The conductor's silly flapping of his arms is a distracting embarrassment. He is not the star, Renee is.
