In my humble opinion, STRAUSS KICKS BUTT !! when it comes to soprano songs.
I must confess that I am partial to a soprano singing Strauss. Talk about
musical magic. (I just purchased Renee Fleming's CD where she sings lots of
Strauss and it is sensational )
If I was a soprano, I'd add Vier letzte Lieder (The Four Last Songs) (in
any part or in its entirety). Everything about the masterpiece is astounding
- the words, the music, the phrasing.
I truly don't know if Morgen, Waldseligkeit is part of Vier letzte liede or
not, if it is that would be my answer.
Best Wishes,
rick
