Schwarzkopf does Bist Du Bei Mir

In rehearsal the tempo has just gotten faster and faster since I first arranged it for VoW well over a year ago. Not everybody has Elizabeth Schwarzkopf's breath control, and it's musicologically correct to repeat both the A and B sections. But the inspiration behind it still sounds as beautiful as the time I first heard it as a college senior. It's the only recording of this piece I've ever heard that made it sound truly beautiful. In everybody else's hands, this piece sounds trite and not particularly memorable. But with Schwarzkopf and Moore, it's pure magic.
