Believe it or not, back when I was throwing around money as an independent producer, a music-industry insider formerly with EMI and out on his own doing a bit of this and a bit of that, asked me about new projects.

I told him I was looking for a soprano to sing Strauss' "Morgen" with Nathaniel Rosen (the job eventually went to Kaaren Erickson, RIP--it was the last recording she made), because my #1 choice Alfreda Hodgson had just died.

He replied that he was pretty sure that he could deliver Dame Elizabeth Schwarzkopf. It wasn't even a matter of money--I just was not interested. In the event one of my supporters made it possible for me to pay Kaaren well. And I think Kaaren's performance is treasurable.

So others can share in its aura of quiet beauty, I will put it into a Dropbox file that will stay up until the end of the month. Then, I will take it down. We are all scholars here, so I am invoking Fair Use.

Richard Strauss: "Morgen"
Kaaren Ericson, soprano; Doris Stevenson, piano; and Nathaniel Rosen, cello
From CD JMR 10, Reverie 1997
Produced by John Marks; recorded by Jerry Bruck, Posthorn Recordings, New York City
at SUNY Purchase College Performing Arts Center
Schoeps KFM 6 Sphere stereo microphone
Mastered by Bob Ludwig
(3:42)

Good-faith commentary welcome.

ATB,

John Marks
