I was asked for some suggestions Re: favorite recodings of these
incomparable songs.
Here in essence was my reply:
Eileen Farrell under Leonard Bernstein (incomparable voice,
musicianship and wondrous conducting.)
Varnay, Moedl and Flagstad (the latter under Kna)
Varady (ditto)plus interpretation.
Bjoener-a surprise
Hanne Lore Kuhse (flip side of her Strauss Vier Letzte Lieder)
Christa Ludwig under Otto Klemperer
That's my 2 cents.
Michael D. Barclay, Il Sant'Angelo

"Musik ist eine heilige Kunst" von Hofmannsthal, libretto of Ariadne
