CD Reviews

Excellent lieder album

groucho | Chapel Hill, NC, USA | 07/07/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"American soprano Cheryl Studer has excelled as one of the most formidable Queen of the Nights produced on record not to mention her interpretations in Viennese operettas, but in this lieder singing setting, she proved that her silvery soprano is just as ideally matched when scored by a solo piano. Assisted very ably by Irwin Cage on klavier, Studer's limpid and sparkling voice is at its unblemished excellence around the time of this recording (1991). She proved that her musical understanding of the nuances of text and melody can rival the performances of Anne Sofie von Otter and Jessye Norman in the same repertoire. In "Im Fruhling", the piano-voice interplay exquisitely locates the beauty of spring in Ernst Schulze's poetry. In "Ganymed", she shows that her glorious voice can soar one minute and be meditative the next. Her moving and still-beauty rendition of the almost-18-minute song "Klage der Ceres" brought out the heartbreaking lament of the mythological figure Ceres for the abduction of her daughter Proserpina by Pluto. Studer's perpspicacious understanding of the texts and her moving and celebratory performances of the music of Schubert are the true standouts of this outstanding disc.

Highly recommended album."
