CD Reviews

An incomparable artist in lighter songs, mostly encores

Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 03/10/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is not quite a greatest hits collection, but of the 29 songs, many if not all served the great Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, who died last year at the advanced age of 90, as favorite encores. As such, there is no unified program here, which may bother some listeners. Danny Boy and Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes (the former sounding as un-Irish as one could imagine) belong to a different world from the Strauss, Schumann, and Mozart to come. Expect everything from folksong to art song, and be prepared for a coyness that suited adoring audiences better than the cold-hearted microphone.

The material dates from 1957 (in mono) and 1966 (stereo), which means we hear the voice in two colorations, one light and bright, the other darkened and rounded with age. I loved many things here, as any die-hard Schwarzkopf fan will, but I'm not sure that this hodge-podge would be the best way to introduce newcomers to this incomparable artist."

Wonderful but no relation

J. Kauffman | Haddonfield, NJ USA | 02/23/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A wonderful CD with some choice Elisabeth Schwarzkopf recordings - pace the prior review thre is no relationship between Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Norman Schwarzkopf - that is just a rumor. Schwarzkopf is a very common name."
