Richard Strauss "Vier letzte Lieder" Charlotte Margiono

[@miuzefreak]

I M BACK 7 years later after my initial comment… MARGIONO GIVES THE GREATEST VERSION OF ALL TIME. absolutely DIVINE; gorgeous voice (compared to so called 'reference versions'), evenness of color, interpretation, class, … OOOO M G !

[@miuzefreak]

WITH VERY WELL DESERVED STANDING OVATION AT THE END… the audience was smart and woke enough to realize they were witnessing GREATNESS. doesn t always happen. I m thankful for that too!

Perfect singing and interpretation - this is absolutely unbeatable. I believe this was probably the voice and artist that Strauss had in mind when he wrote the VLL - he just didn’t know it at the time!

Потрясающее исполнение!! Спасибо Штраусу за то, что я узнала эту певицу!❤

Splendid... gotta love The Lady. Such a grand, honest, dignified and musical rendition. Margiono in her prime was absolutely unbeatable.

[@geoffthomson1686]

I'm enjoying listening to a lot of different singers singing this Strauss song cycle, and for mine this is definitely up there with the very best :) It's a beautiful interpretation without being overdone and I really love her voice !

What I love about “Im Abendrot” is that all other renditions of this has a fast intro. This conductor likes to keep it slow and in so doing it develops feeling and you can sense the majesty that the Diva is about to perform. I heard this on a Readers Digest music CD and I lost the CD and I desperately looked for it again, thank you for submitting it to KZbin.

Wonderful. I only heard about this lady some 30 minutes ago. I was playing Jessye Norman video, and whilst reading the posts, came across the recommendation for Ms. Margiono. Prior to hearing her sing these songs I could only think of Ms. Norman, but now I must revisit my opinion. Ms. Margiono is one fine singer, and the orchestra accompanying her are quite something.

[@miuzefreak]

thank you for that!

Same here!

beautiful version, I love it the most. thanks

[@franzitaduz]

Und SO soll es gesungen werden!

[@eckistein6553]

Das ist das wunderbare Ergebnis eines Schwarzkopf Meisterkurses zu Beginn von Charlott‘s Karriere! Wirklich beeindruckend und eine der besten Aufnahmen der „Vier letzte Lieder“!

[@gerhardruter2497]

Wunderbar besser als alles, was ich bisher gehört habe❤❤❤

[@MrOlogramma]

Meraviglioso ❤❤❤

I just got introduced by Elda Laro with this amazing singer! O My God! I will never be able to listen to VLL from any other singer! Impressive!!!!

[@kedemberger8773]

This is the best performance of VLL that I know of

So so beautiful!

[@EldaLaro]

The best singer of the world!

[@paulvandenham6002]

This concert was on February 20th 1993!

[@darrelljones6111]

I know of several performances that come as close as any to this but I know of none that are actually better.

[@smurf902]

I like her tone better than Popp for this material and it's a much more soprano tone than Norman and much fuller and warmer than Schwartzkopf. And all of them are cleaner than Fleming.

[@tobiaspeter6555]

I've never heard of this singer, but this is not bad at all

[@miuzefreak]

THE GREATEST RENDITION E V E R ! SUBLIME! (move over, Elizabeth Schwazkopf and Jessye Norman! Sorry!)

[@robertjschroff6307]

miuzefreak I totally agree. My favourite version so far. Wonderful.

[@miuzefreak]

@@robertjschroff6307 I know, right! I regularly watch it.

[@zalamandrus3953]

Actually Schwarzkopf coached her in this. It's her influence that you hear. :)

[@RG-vd3pw]

​@@zalamandrus3953 Thank God she didn't take the extreme 'singing into the mask' thing too much to heart

[@smurf902]

You can hear the wonderful influence of Schwarzkopf in her voice but such a much more warm and expensive voice!
