Today we’re listening to…“Glück, das mir verblieb” (popularly known as “Marietta's Lied”) the soprano aria from Act I of the German opera, Die tote Stadt by Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
Once again, one of my favorites, though I prefer Kiri Te Kanawa or Beverly Sills singing.
I hear you Paula! Can you share the Beverly Sills recording you like the best? Such legends - both of them.
Lovely!
5.00am couldn't sleep. Signed up. This had me weeping.
Isn’t it wonderful Janina?!? I am so happy to have you and while I wish you sleep, I hope you don’t stop listening! ;-)
Thankyou! A wonderful resource to settle the troubled mind. I feel like King Christian IV who called on musicians to lull him to sleep.

Carol Neblett did a fabulous Marietta at NYCity Opera and recorded it too.
