Never on any commercial or 'private' recording have I heard the lovely quality of Jurinac's voice as I recall it in the theatre or concert hall, caught as it is here. And when you come to think of it the voice might have been made for this music. The inner glow, the spirituality, the sheer ease of the singing are quite remarkable. Jurinac fills the big climaxes of the third and fourth songs with the kind of rapt, emotional intensity they deserve and catches the autumnal regrets of all four songs unerringly, yet it is all done without any kind of effort, any suggestions of 'giving a performance'.

Gorgeous excerpt from Salzburg Festival premiere of R'kavalier with Jurinac, Schwarzkopf and Anneliese Rothenberger () in Tony Palmer's film The Salzburg Festival (on DVD). Interesting life story, plus the story of her stage name, here.

I think Hornspieler is the man to tell you more about Rudolf Schwarz! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf...rz_(conductor)

Having previously said that Schwarzkopf does nothing for me, I found (in a charity shop) a live FLS with the Philharmonia under Karajan at the RFH in 1956 and I'm hooked!
The songs are not performed in the published order and end with 'September' with a gorgeous horn solo. Could this be Dennis Brain? There's also a lovely fiddle solo in 'Beim Schlafengehen'. Manoug Parikian perhaps?
Have any other forumites heard this? It's worth seeking out IMO.

But I think that you must be right about who the instrumental soloists must be - I doubt that Karajan would accept a "second eleven" team from his own orchestra[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

On reading above contributions, a memory came back to me of hearing Kiri do it in a live broadcast on Radio 3 in 1970. I had recently got to know the work via an LP with Lisa della Casa. I can remember it illuminating a winter evening in my student bedsit.
I even found it in the Radio Times archive.

Yes a very good record although my favourites remain Jurinac, della Casa and Janowitz
Re the 1956 live Karajan I do not know it but see it has been sneaked in at the back of the Warner Edition Bach,Beethoven, Brahms choral music 5 CD box .
Amazon this morning were selling that box for £8.99 ! I do not know the Bach or Beethoven Missa Solemnis but it includes his outstanding early recording of the Brahms Requiem and Ferrier's solos from the live B Minor Mass which Schwarzkoof reported was the only time she saw HVK in tears so a good buy I reckon .
