Richard Strauss - "Arabella" Act II Duet - Varady, Fischer-Dieskau

[@canal-9389]

Was für ein Text ... Unmöglich. Die Musik ...wunderschön.

"...so I give myself to you for time and eternity"". They married the same year (1977) when this was recorded. Absolutely beautiful! Thank you!

From 5:59 on, this duet is pure gold. One of the most beautiful things Strauss ever wrote. This is what true love would sound like if it could speak (or sing).

Richard Strauss' music is sublime!

so beautiful...

[@lucassanches9888]

Magnífico! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! ...

This is a very beautiful and deeply touching video. As others have commented, I do not know if DFD and Varady were husband and wife then but no matter. Knowing this about their personal lives adds an exalted dimension to their declaration of love. Very poignant.

A sorrowfully underrated opera!

Sometimes I think I prefer Arabella to the Rosenkavalier

Karen, I hope my thank u comment doesn't show up twice - YT is playing tricks today! I left one just before but it appears not to have published. This is the best b-day present I can ever remember receiving. I don't know if I can reconstruct my orig. comment .. I am so touched!! I adore Arabella. And this duet .. this is just ravishing. Julia is marvelous [too;)]. Exquisitely touching in every way. And all these fantastic photos .. there are no words. I will treasure this always - truly -b xxo

[@megansspark]

[@anepictree]

and I shall be lucky enough to see it tonight with Renée Flemming singing Arabella!

[@oakroom48]

Karen, thanks again so much for this

@dermotafan Don't worry, she's more than discovered by true opera buffs, as well as lauded by opera critics the world over. I agree with you that she is great, my preference for Della Casa notwithstanding!

Julia Varady is Fischer-Dieskau's widow. I don't know if they were married when this was took place.

[@gregorymowery8879]

I adore here, but I've never warmed to Fischer-Dieskau's sound. Prefer Bernd Weikl or Ingvar Wixell. I find the beloved German baritone always seems to be pushing for more and more sound. Varady is glorious here.

Sehr schön,aber della Casa bleibt wohl überreicht in dieser Rolle,sie ist und war die Arabella
