Richard Strauss composed his Four Last Songs in 1948, near the end of his life, and they stand among his most profound works. This 1983 recording pairs those four songs with six additional orchestral songs from across Strauss’s career, including Cacilie, Morgen, Wiegenlied, Ruhe, Meine Seele, Meinem Kinde, and Zueignung. Soprano Jessye Norman performs with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig under conductor Kurt Masur, bringing warmth and expressive depth to these Romantic and early Modern compositions.

Released on CD, this digital recording captures Norman’s rich, lustrous voice with exceptional clarity and presence. The tessitura of the Four Last Songs suits her voice perfectly, allowing her to shape each phrase with sensitivity while soaring over the orchestra with long-breathed splendor. A hand-inspected copy of this acclaimed performance is yours to keep at a fraction of the original retail price.
