CD Reviews

An aging Shirai in songs that don't really suit her

Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 01/18/2006

(3 out of 5 stars)

"a great lieder singer has to be a vocal chameleon to adapt to the styles of such distinctly different musical temperaments as Schubert, Wolf, and Strauss. Mitsuko Shirai is great in the lyric idiom of Brahms and schumann, but Wolf is too restless, conflicted, and suffering for her. Here she sings an hour of Morike lieder, which contains some of Wolf's psychologically simpler songs, but Shirai smooths them all out, and her long-time accompanist, Hartmut Holl, doesn't apply enough imaginaiton to the fascinating piano parts, which are at least as diverse and conflicted as the songs. Shirai's voice is noticeably aging here in 1997, which isn't appealing, either."
