I want to share with you a treasure I just discovered on YouTube. EXTREMELY RARE! LIVE: Elly Ameling sings R. Strauss 4 LAST SONGS (COMPLETE) in 1982 - Concertgebouw youtube/watch?v=NoPII73y3Cg&sns=tw via @youtube Elly Amerling visited the Cleveland Institute of Music twice, once each year while I was studying for my Master of Music in Voice. She would give a recital and the next day, a master class. I went up to her and shook her hand. In those days I thought if I shook a distinguished singers hand, my own singing might improve. Ha ha ha ha ha. We loved her at that school. She was principally a recitalist, not an opera singer so much. Therefore to hear not only the timbre of her voice, but the finely tuned interpretation, which I believe lieder singers excel at, partially satisfies what I feel inside; a longing to hear a lighter voice interpret these exquisite song, as well as the Dramatic Sopranos, or Spintos, which I love also, who are usually called upon to sing these songs.
