CD Reviews

Technically poor recording of historic event

SocJan | Champaign, IL | 06/06/2006

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I'm glad to have this evidence of the consummate musicianship of one of my favorite singers, but purchasers should be warned that this is a mono recording with lots of hiss and some distortion -- made from the audience? Muffled and muddy piano sound, Schwarzkopf's voice often a bit distorted.

Still, it's fun to hear old Schwarzkopf favorites performed with slightly different tempi and decoration, and some less-familiar pieces, too.

In summary, not worth a penny more than its bargain price."
