Richard Strauss: Zueignung

Helmut Deutsch, Klavier
Philharmonie Essen, May 2021

[whatsup]

I remember learning this as a teenager
When my instructor first had me try singing it, he had previously been pulling out various songs in Italian and English, which I hadn't liked. We even tried one in French (a language I've only rarely really gotten along with) and we easily agreed that was NOT a song for me after I had tried it. Then we did THIS one and we both knew it had clicked! I like the sound of the German language and I was very happy to get to sing it. It sticks out in my memory so much it feels nostalgic. In fact I just went and found guitar chords for it!

This is a lovely rendition of it 🤍

[Styx-Syvyn]

Ja, du weißt es, teure Seele,
Daß ich fern von dir mich quäle, Liebe macht die Herzen krank,
Habe Dank.
Einst hielt ich, der Freiheit Zecher,
Hoch den Amethysten-Becher,
Und du segnetest den Trank,
Habe Dank.
Und beschworst darin die Bösen,
Bis ich, was ich nie gewesen,
Heilig, heilig an’s Herz dir sank,
Habe Dank!

[maurizio]

técnicamente perfecta y un acompañamiento sublime. Podría pasar escuchándola todo el día, sin llegar a aburrirme. Habe dank!!!!

Kein Ton ist verschenkt. Danke, liebe Diana Damrau - Du bist wunderbar!

[renedupont]

Das ist, leider, noch eine der schon vielen tausenden, technisch durchaus perfekten, Darstellungen dieses Liedes, auf die man gerne verzichtet hätte.

Omg, what a dark and gorgeous "sank" !!!

Listening to Damrau 6ft from me singing this at Wigmore Hall and bringing the house down made me weep like a baby x

[SingYourselfWell]

Does anyone know if a soprano and a tenor could change roles to make a mock opera performance? Is it possible vocally to do it?


Could a Bass and a Tenor exchange roles?

Hey sis I just wanted to say that Eve wanted to say hi!!!!

[erpollock]

Operatic, very. But I learn from watching her how long to hold a note!
