Für Dan, von Strauss

posted by on April 11 at 14:41 PM

These tickets are free. New Year’s Eve concert. It’s Berlin and 1992, but still.

Renée Fleming, Frederica von Stade, and Kathleen Battle in probably the most affecting and beautiful moment in 20th century opera—the final trio from Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier.

Fuck you, NapoleonHIV. Not only is that inappropriate, Damrau is one of the shittiest singers alive.

Wrong Strauss, but fine sentiment!

@4: Duh, but I don't think Fledermaus really fits the occasion. This trio was sung at the composer's own funeral.

That's okay. This is pretty much the place for it.
