This has always been a huge favourite of mine even tho Andreas never recorded it. I got to see Andreas in Canada and he sang this aria ! It was heavenly !!
“What kind of music is this? Whoever wrote it must have left himself behind at one point to dig the piano notes out of the earth and gather the artificial harmonics of the violins from heaven. The tonality of this music has no mechanical purpose. It is there to transport us towards something that has never been heard before.” Wolfgang Sandner
