This is a tribute to German opera singer Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. I have mixed feelings about this singer given her past history with the Nazi party during the war. It would seem from my understanding that not only was she seemingly forced to be a part of it but was an active member. On the other hand it is difficult to ignore great talent. In the end she ended up marrying a Jew which allowed her British citizenship. Schwarzkopf is well known for her interpretations of  Mozart, Schubert, Strauss, and Wolf. As far as this recording of "Fruling" from Rchard Strauss's "Four Last Songs" it simply doesn't get any better.
