You're thinking of Heldenleben, was on a Top Rank LP in the early 60s and an Everest CD in the 90s!Originally posted by waldhorn View PostComment

I went to the Margaret Price memorial concert at the Wigmore Hall yesterday. At the end they played an apparently unissued recording of Price singing Beim Schlafengehen. I don't know who was conducting (Sawallisch?) but it was absolutely wonderful. Not too slow,like many performances nowadays, and peerlessly sung. Regrettably, I don't think there is recording with Price. If there was, I'd suggest it would be one of the best."I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

Has anyone mentioned Renee Fleming? I like her performance I have on an old Video, think it was a Prom a few years ago.Comment

I had a VHS tape of that performance, saly, which lasted as long as my VHS player. She's recorded it twice (AFAIK) - the first time before she'd performed it live. I did have that CD but gave it away. Norman remains my library choice. I've heard it live with Soderstrom, with Schmidt-Isserstedt (lovely, a long time ago) and Lott, with Masur (also lovely).Originally posted by salymap View PostComment

Those YouTube tracks are SUBLIME. Unbelievably beautiful.The magnificent Margaret Price
Presumably they come from BBC tapes?
What chance they may eventually surface on a BBC CD?Comment

Lovely isn't it.
Sadly, the fact that she seems to have had a major memory lapse at the end of 'Früling" militates against a CD issue I guess (3:00 onwards for a while)
