Heidegger

hi folks, just wondered amongst the german speakers on this list whether I
could obtain a recommendation of a good english translation of Rilke’s Duino
Elegies; reason: alongside the long-term project of my Heidegger opera
(still early days), I’m aiming to set a number of stanzas of the Elegies for
alto (contralto or countertenor) voice and string quartet in a song cycle,
and in english. I already have what seems a goodly (to my ears) translation
by David Oswald; is there a better translation?

thanks in advance
