There will always be a dispute about the best interpretation of the Four Last Songs--perhaps the most eloquent expression of regret, but acceptance about life. Written by a man of 84,who spanned the 19'th and 20'th centuries. In particular Norman's rendition of Beim Schlafengehen is so sublime that I have to ration myself to one listening every 3 months to avoid overload.
