I recently had the chance to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey on the big screen an experience I highly recommend. It is the informed and esteemed opinion of postpunkindustrial that this movie should be watched LOUD and any theater that doesn’t play this movie LOUD should be burned directly to the ground.
Good Talk everybody. You can get a 13 track version of the soundtrack from my Google Drive HERE
Richard Strauss, Vier letzte Lieder (4. Im Abendrot). Texto de Joseph von Eichendorff.
Christoph von Eschenbach, director
René Fleming, soprano
Tritt her und lass sie schwirren,
bald ist es Schlafenszeit,
dass wir uns nicht verirren
In dieser Einsamkeit.
O weiter, stiller Friede!
So tief im Abendrot,
wie sind wir wandermüde-
ist dies etwa der Tod?
Ich habe viel an ihn gedacht, als ich diesen Liederzyklus gehört habe. Ich hoffe, es geht ihm gut.
