Exquisitely done by both; Dessay does the first phrase at

[@acacia-bloom]

I didnt know Dessay had sung Sophie. Contrary to what most people write here, I find her singing quite beautiful and radiant and the two voices blend extremely well. Delightful!

Magnifiques! Dessay est de la magie... déconnexion totale. Merci à cette dame pour ce qu'elle apporte; je l'ai vue dans les Contes d'Hoffamn avec Haddock à Orange et tous étaient superbes

Un bellissimo duetto, emozionante

I heard a clip of this von Otter and Bonney and loved it but this with Dessey is just as lovely and a surprise. I never knew Dessey sang Strauss. Such a light and lyrical style.

Wow,

I know little about this sort of music, but I do know I should have listened to more of it.

Thank you for uploading this historical document: It was one of two performances Natalie Dessay ever sang Sophie - and I was the lucky guy to hear both of them live! :-)

[@Homoclassicus]

And Güden should never be forgotten in a list of the best Sophies, as well. That 1954 version with Jurinac as Oktavian and Kleiber conducting is one of the most beautiful things one's ever going to hear. ;-)

Let's not forget Stich-Randall on the 1957 EMI Angel recording.
