October 2024.Who's here? This is the best version of Dvorak's beautiful aria. Definitely the best performance. It's pure perfection ....from Fort Worth, Texas
Frederica is retired now. She is famous for her voice in perfect French. My teen son got to stay aboard her yatch moored in the Saint Francis club section of the CA delta; a routine allowed to sailing youth, given free meals and a berth for a night. When home he mentioned this and the "lady" was practicing her songs. When he descrbed her, I flipped out and asked, "is here name by chance Frederica von Stade"? He answered yes. She treated the boys like a mother. My son, a musician himself remembers it still. I collect her music and adore her still, the quality of her voice and great respect of her audience. Got once to hear her live. She is a great lady, not full of herself as some are.
Merci pour votre commentaire qui montre la merveilleuse personnalité de Frederica von Stade. J'aime beaucoup la sensibilite et la subtilite de son interprétation de ce célèbre chant a la lune. Une merveille. Votre fils a eu beaucouo de chance.
Every time I come back to this recording, I gain more and more appreciation for Frederica Von Stade. A true artist! She is truly living this piece. The phrasing and the use of the language are impeccable. Brava Flicka
For me as a czech native speaker, this is one of the best love song in opera. Has very female love feelings. And performance of Von Stade is excellent.

Wonderful, intensely moving to bring tears to the eyes. But the Orchestra led by Seiji Ozawa should be acknowledged for its sublime and tender performance of this Aria. The combination makes this the best performance I have heard, and I have heard many.
Flicka now an Alameda, CA resident and the most gracious and humble American artist of her caliber ..I had the fortune of being in the BARS orchestra accompanying her and some other soprano singers few years back....she had a glorious career....her voice is all about the music (not ego driver like some divas today...who might be more famous than her.....but...she is the gift from GOD...)..Thank you Flicka!!!
Oh My God! I've never heard this aria sung so beautifully. such a pure sound- not a trace of heaviness; she's got a perfect vibrato and her voice is so expressive. as an aside, she's a gorgeous woman. I feel privileged to have heard her in several roles at the MET
I heard her live twice. Yes, an absolutely gorgeous voice and I realized recordings simply cannot catch all the colors and subtleties in her voice. Such perfection.
@@Ailsa72 Indeed, she has beautiful voice and does justice to this aria, but my favourite performance is this one by Patricia Janeckova. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/8WrXtnCX_9g/v-deo.html
I'm Czech and I played this song by Renée Fleming, unfortunately I didn't listen and turn it off in the middle. Then I found a version from FREDERICA VON STADE. I have to say, I'm probably getting old, but in the end I cried like a child! Not to mention that no one saw me. I admire the real experience and beautiful Czech.
I love her voice. Hansel and Gretel is gorgeous music and she sings Hansel. you'd like it. But my favorite rendition of Rusalka's aria is done by Czech singer--. a most exquisite voice! -- Listen "Milada Šubrtová - Rusalka" on UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/eRLUY2HEgIc/v-deo.html
How glorious Mme. Von Stade is! A true and absolute diva--without the attitude. She is regal in beauty, talent and bearing. You may not know it, but this is the music you want to live your life to.
Frederica.........3 months ago my sweet wife passed away , and now as I listen to you sing so beautifully , I join with you and insert the pronoun HER where it appears. Thank you, thank you from the depths of my heart for bringing my sweetie and I together again under the light of our beautiful Rusalka.
Flicka is absolutely stunning and brings her unique magic and sense of atmosphere to this exquisite nocturnal aria. I love the silent, hold your breath pause at the end. Radiance incarnate. Flicka owns this aria and the orchestra sounds beautiful. The harp arpeggios at the beginning and the solo English Horn near the end are so beautiful. This is life-affirming artistry.
Hello sir I hope not to bother you? I hope to be able to meet you if it does not cause you any problem because I am a woman who is looking for a man with whom I could live the great love. Do you look for the same thing in a woman? So if you don't mind make me a request on hangouts I would be really happy then here is my Email ruthlorey29@gmail.com
music is a connecting element, you think differently while listening (you switch your thinking), if only people would focus on what they have in common and they didn't look for differences. C'est pourquoi la mondialisation est importante, en tout, pour que les différences soient aussi minimes que possible. Seulement cela nous sauvera (et sois gentil avec la planète).
It doesn't get any better than this. How is it possible that 89 people gave this a thumbs down? The aria is gorgeous and it could not have been sung any better.
so many have been singing this aria. to me nobody has come so close to the sentiment as Frederica von Stade. i only regret that there are so few recordings available of this remarcable artist
It is entirely true, this aria of Antonin Dvorak is extremely difficult to interpret because it must be expressing: sentimentality, poetry and romanticism. Also, let's pay tribute to Karita Mattila who interpreted it, in her own time, at a stage near to perfection; this is my opinion. Sincere salutations. ua-cam.com/video/XPXXuHPgkyo/v-deo.html.
Thank you for your beautiful comment. I think there are no competitions or comparisons between the great singers because they are all very appreciated in their splendid interpretations. However, I invite you to listen to the Finnish, Karita Matilla (ua-cam.com/video/XPXXuHPgkyo/v-deo.html), I find her perfect, in this sublime interpretation, just as Frederica von Stade. I also invite you to listen to the new generation of very promising singers, such as the Slovak Patricia Janeckova.
Since this woman broke onto the Opera scene in the 1970s, I've been in total love with her voice. Glorious tone, musicality to the stars.. just wonderful.
And in every way she is not just an angel but a true lady and when she laughs it is just the most clear wonderful sound that makes you want to laugh right with her
Sublime voix au timbre rarement égalé . Une interprétation au plus haut niveau ! Nous avons une Diva d'une grande beauté devant nous ! Prosternons nous .
che dire di questa superba e bellissima figura di interprete poliedrica...ascoltata spesso con Abbado come chef d' orchestra....penso alle Nozze di Figaro...Cenerentola ...Melisande....e in un concerto con molti autori americani moderni contrapposti ad arie barocche ...qui dimostra il suo grande talento e il risultato ,perfetto e bellissimo anche da vedere ....se chiudo gli occhi divento quel Sogno...chapeau anche a Ozawa....
J'ai decouvert aujourd'hui "moon song" chanté par Frederica von Stade. C'est une pure merveille que je ne peux m'empecher d'ecouter et de réécouter. Il y a eu de nombreuses interprétations. Frederica Von Stade n'a peut être pas la plus belle voix mais elle chante avec une telle émotion. une telle sensibilité et une telle justesse que je la considère comme la meillleure soprano pour ce magnifique morceau de Rusalka. Bravo bravo et merci
I'm a REAL FLICKA FAN!!! (I named one of my cats Flicka!) I met her (and Samuel Ramey) after a concert at Brevard, NC in 2000. In 2003, she came to Hampton, VA (where I live) for a concert. At the meet and greet party after the show, I gave her a photo of her and Placido Domingo I'd taken during curtain call of The Merry Widow at the MET. She is a MOST GRACIOUS, GENTEEL, BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED LADY!!!
Bravi to both her and Domingo! His Rodolfo (La Boheme) was the first I ever saw (at the New York City Opera, I think, and we both were young - though I the younger of the two), and it was unforgettable. He was magnificent as a singer and in his other roles, and though I heartily regret his apparent sexual misbehavior (was it proven that he did those things), he remains a star, and therefore memorable for me.
I adore her voice. i expected her to sing this well, but I'm pleasantly surprised how beautifully she performs it, far surpassing many of the soprano versions I've heard over the years. She's a national treasure.
Oh, my...I am breathless. Shimmering beauty. Dvorak's exquisite talent is matched by this performer's graceful interpretation of his finest work. I could listen to this every day and completely forget all my troubles and woes for 7 minutes and 12 seconds, enthralled. Thank you to whoever posted this video. Thank you very much for sharing this dream.
je reste subjugué par la beauté de ce passage tant par la cantatrice divine que par l'écriture du maître Dovorak Je sublime cette version et la conserve comme référence Merci Frederica Mon reve serait de vous rencontrer et d'assister à votre soirée de partage
Sheer beauty and magnificence of Frederick Von Stade’s Glorious voice here has left me was practically speechless. And crying. How can anything be this beautiful?
Its 4 March 2023 , 3 pm, I was asked to give the time I’m leaving this comment. After years of listening to this it’s the first time I’m commenting . This is the best as far as I’ve heard. REALLY THANK YOU MADAM. I do hope the heaven sounds like this❤
For those who have never heard her, her voice has a timbre all its own. Powerfull and she can project beautifully. This is a great rendition. She really seems to enjoy this song.
What a beautiful singer . What a beautiful voice. It is a great life we live when a performer like her does this magnificent rendition of this famous song.
Every few months or so I need a Moon song fix, so I go to UA-cam and listen to the greats, but I always come back to Flicka’s, no one can touch her. Her voice shimmers like a vision on the surface of the water, and then that ending, no one can do it like her, no one. Sublime.
I have goose bumps. I've always admired her but never heard her do this. The fact that she's a mezzo makes it so much richer, just heavenly, and flawless.
Sublime. Best interpretation of this song, ever, at least for me. I lost count of how many times I've played this video.
Agreed!
and me three!
Sublime. 💝
My all time favorite version: wonderful phrasing conveys the intense yearning & hopelessness of a passion unknown & unrequited. Sublime indeed!
Maravillosa voz é interpretación.

BY FAR the best rendition of the Moon Song. Her voice has soul that touches your heart.
concordo plenamente ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
and the heart to touch your soul - wonderful
Lucia Popp also does a wonderful rendition, but this is my favourite
I agree totally. This recording “TOPS” all others due to the artistry of Frederica. 😊
For me as a czech native speaker, this is one of the best love song in opera. Has very female love feelings. And performance of Von Stade is excellent.
Me, too. Everyday...and I play my violin for this song as well.
So tell us what the lyrics mean?
And by the way I love your country Prague is such a beautiful city in the Czech people are so freedom loving

Tell me where is my love?
Oh, once in awhile, stay with me
Tell me where is my love... where?
Tell him, oh, tell him, silver moon
That in my arms, I enfold him
Tell him he dreams to tangle me
Even if only for a moment
Tell him in dreams to think of me
Even if just for a moment
Shine on in reverie
Shine on him
Tell him, oh, tell him
I am here, waiting
Shine on in reverie
Shine on him
Tell him, oh, tell him
I am here, waiting
If a human soul should dream of me
May he still remember me on waking
Dear moon, oh, shine for him
Shine for him
Shine, oh, shine for him

a timbre all its own - immediately identifiable - and such plangent character to it
What a beautiful singer . What a beautiful voice. It is a great life we live when a performer like her does this magnificent rendition of this famous song.
Sie hat eine schöne klare Stimme. Hervorragend, Bravissimo!
Du hast recht. "Klare" is die wort.
Every few months or so I need a Moon song fix, so I go to UA-cam and listen to the greats, but I always come back to Flicka’s, no one can touch her. Her voice shimmers like a vision on the surface of the water, and then that ending, no one can do it like her, no one. Sublime.
her voice is one of a kind, i have been fortunate enough to hear her in person several times.
I had the good fortune of hearing her perform in the mid 80's.
I visited the Tanglewood Festival in 1984 specifically to hear her in a concert performance of "Beatrice et Benedict". She was sublime, as always.
You are soooo lucky.
So Lucky you are sir
Beautiful voice from a beautifulful woman,
Brava, bellissima, grande espressione e meravigliosa interpretazione.
Grande anche la direzione del M. Seiji Ozawa!
Veľmi pekne Ďakujem za krásny prednes Rusalky.
I've adored her and her voice since I was first aware of her. Her Songs of Auvergne are some of my favorites.
Nobody has ever sung it better --- and I doubt anyone ever will.
So right you are!
Bravo! Bravo! Ms Frederica.
I saw her in SF as Octavian in Strauss Der Rosenkavalier. It was overwhelming
I have goose bumps. I've always admired her but never heard her do this. The fact that she's a mezzo makes it so much richer, just heavenly, and flawless.
Una maravilla. El autor, la música, la orquesta y LA VOZ DE UNA GRANDE DEL CANTO
In many ways Dvorak has been considered in my opinion grossly under rated as a composer.
Nothing could be further from the truth
Don’t confuse under rated with under represented. Dvorak is highly rated by those like us who know.
Wow what smoothness and clarity of the voice...no wide verbrato as many singer's have.
Neodporuji, ale zkuste si prosím poslechnout v této árii Patricia Janečková. Srdečně zdravím.
Words can't express the beauty of this song and performance! I am simply stunned and amazed.
천상의 소리, 이유없이 나는 프레데리카 폰 슈타데 성악가를 존경한다.
Heavenly sound, for no reason I admire the vocalist Frederica von Stade.
Wonderful. The best Rusalka I have ever heard. I come back here often for a touch of pure beauty.
iisten & listen....she is a best interpreter of this song !!!
