Believe it or not, back when I was throwing around money as an independent producer, a music-industry insider formerly with EMI and out on his own doing a bit of this and a bit of that, asked me about new projects.I told him I was looking for a soprano to sing Strauss' "Morgen" with Nathaniel Rosen (the job eventually went to Kaaren Erickson, RIP--it was the last recording she made), because my #1 choice Alfreda Hodgson had just died.
He replied that he was pretty sure that he could deliver Dame Elizabeth Schwarzkopf. It wasn't even a matter of money--I just was not interested. In the event one of my supporters made it possible for me to pay Kaaren well. And I think Kaaren's performance is treasurable.
So others can share in its aura of quiet beauty, I will put it into a Dropbox file that will stay up until the end of the month. Then, I will take it down. We are all scholars here, so I am invoking Fair Use.

One thing I've always found frustrating about accompanying this song on the piano is in the last couple of measures, Strauss extends the the second note of the theme another couple of beats, and on the piano, this extended note always kind of dies away too soon because of the piano's imperfect sustaining of tones. When a solo cello (or violin, as I've heard in Strauss's orchestration - the violin works well too) is playing this line, the problem is solved!
Anyway, nice performance and recording (to the extent I'm able to tell on my "computer system")! (I downloaded the .aif file.)
Beautiful, and superbly recorded. Thanks for sharing.
It's now safely in my Drop Box which gives me the rest of my life to figure out hos to make it play. ;-)
Duuh, that's an AIFF.
I now have made clones in both WAV and Bookmarkable AAC.
If all else fails, move it to your computer's Desktop and double-click and see what opens it--it's CDQ, so you must have a way to open it from your desktop.
ATB,
John
And sound good doing it!
Thanks!
