CD Reviews

A great singer's ill-advised last album

Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 09/04/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Those of us who vastly admire Elisabeth Schwarzkopf react badly to this farewell recital that she was persuaded to make after her voice had declined. I believe the date was either 1972 or 1977 (my disc doesn't have the program insert). Schwarzkopf was the absolute mistress of Wolf lieder, and in the Morike selections heard here, one can't help but respond to her artistry, yet vocal security comes and goes, and all of these songs were done to greater effect on her many recordings for EMI. Georffrey Parsons provides excellent accompaniment, and Decca's sound is first-rate. If you don't know Schwarzkopf, this is a bad place to begin."
