Amor by Richard Strauss, Elizabeth Parcells

[@charlesrhodes1358]

Probably the greatest recording of the song. All the difficult trills. My goodness she was stupendous!

[@Rozie7748]

You have the distinction of being one of the few people in the world with the ability to sing this song. Your high notes are absolutely sensational!!!

[@pasqualeperrone1560]

beautiful. So grateful for the wealth of knowledge and recordings she left behind for people to enjoy. Coloratura soprano rep is definitely not to be taken as lightly as their voices

The Brentano Lieder was originally written for voice and piano in 1918, then later orchestrated in 1940, a time in which Strauss orchestrated a lot of his more popular Lieder for soprano. It makes sense because the thirties and forties were his best orchestrated works, including operas. By far my favorite composer!

@Pantarei
Yes, Strauss most certainly did orchestrate this song himself.

[@civileso]

God bless her soul, she sung this one so beautifully.. She had such a technique that she made it all sound sooo easy. May she rest in peace...

[@NoirOrchestre]

@Pantarei no, as far as i know Strauss didn't orchestrate this lied. I don't know who did it.

[@theoperatripleaxel5417]

[@LazEstrada]

[@Pantarei]

Does anybody know if this orchestration was made by Strauss himself?
I had to make an orchestration for this lied and i didn't know there was already one.

[@EcceHumanitatis]

Yes, it is his own.
