Elisabeth Schwarzkopf was certainly one of the greatest singers of her own, or indeed any other time. An obsessive perfectionist, her flawless technique and intonation over a huge range, vocal flexibility, breath control, phrasing, stylistic versatility, and above all her focused, radiantly beautiful sound were matchless and incomparable. All these are on full display on this generous 2-CD set, which features over a dozen arias, songs by Schubert, Wolf and Richard Strauss, and some lighter fare. The recordings were made between 1950 and 1967, and the singing becomes better and better, the voice richer and more varied, the expression deeper and more immediate. Not surprisingly, the peaks come in the arias from her signature roles in Mozart's Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Cosi fan tutte; Richard Strauss' Ariadne, Rosenkavalier, and Arabella, which rise to real ecstasy; and arias from Weber's Freischütz and Smetana's Bartered Bride, which are wonderfully intimate and touching. She is less convincing in roles she never sang on stage, and the "childish" voice she cultivated especially for Hänsel and Gretel is unnatural and contrived. The same is true of the last two "popular" numbers, which sound condescending and artificial. The songs, however, have all her customary finesse and inwardness; the Wolf group, perhaps chosen for its gentle humor, is charming, while Strauss' "Four Last Songs" (represented by two) shimmer and soar. Schwarzkopf's singing had instantly recognizable characteristics: a tendency to hold back both vocally and emotionally, giving a sense of noble restraint, but also of cool detachment; excessive use of color and nuance, creating a fussy, calculated and somewhat artificial air. Only rarely does she "let go" with full voice and spontaneous feeling. However, as these recordings show, she invariably inspires admiration and captures ear and heart through the inimitable, glorious beauty of her voice. --Edith Eisler

Fine anthology but still prefer her "Four Last Songs" recording.......2006-11-06

The engineering and audio quality of these 1960's performances are surprisingly good. The songs are wonderfully peformed and cover a range of periods and styles, but I find myself returning to her recording (also re-released on CD) of Strauss' "Four Last Songs", which I would give 6 stars -- my favorite recording of all time.

RIP DAME ELIZABETH (1915-2006).......2006-08-04

This set is a fine tribute to this extraordinary singer and musician. I was saddened to read about her passing. She had a long life (90 years) and inspired a whole generation of singers and music lovers throughout the world.

SCHWARZKOPF ----- ONE OF THE GREATS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.......2006-01-29

Elisabeth Schwarzkopf's career is what legends are made of. She is every bit as fundamental to classical singing in the twentieth century as is Maria Callas. Schwarzkopf sang with refinement, polish, beauty of voice, and meticulous articulation. She was the greatest Mozart and Strauss soprano of her day; her ability to sing the operetta music of Lehar, Suppe', and Johann Strauss has not been equalled; she performed with distinction orchestral compositions of Mahler, Brahms, Bach, and Handel; her Schubert, Schumann, Wolf, and Mahler lieder were exemplary. She sang many operatic roles, far more than many people realize, and was certainly the definitive Marshallin in "Rosenkavalier" throughout the 1950's and 1960'. I saw her many times in recital in Chicago, and even at the time of her farewell (which I was fortunate enough to see), she was sublime. All of the superlative qualities of Schwarzkopf are generously demonstrated throughout these two wonder CD's. Virtually every item is magnificent (though obviously some will prefer some to others) and has the detailed Schwarzkopf imprint stamped right into the music. This CD, great as it is, represents only a very small part of the greatness of Schwarzkopf. I already own tons of her operas and recitals, from which many of the items here come from. But for the sake of completeness, I will probably add it. A person who loves great singing can never have too much of the art of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. She's a vocal icon.

¡PERFECT!.......2005-02-10

I only want to say that you can hear, in this double cd, one of the great singers of all time. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. Why? Because she sings all the arias and lieder with pure of tone, brilliance, perfect inflexion, modulation, excellent control breath, measured vibrato, and, all above, great emision of colours. She is master in this art.

PERFECTA INTERPRETACIÓN.......2005-02-09

La mejor recopilación de la discografía de Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. Su belleza de voz, la impecable hilación de frases, y, sobre todo, su expresiva interpretación son algunas de las sorpresas que se podrán escuchar en estos dos discos. Sin duda, UNA DE LAS MEJORES SOPRANOS DEL SIGLO XX.

A very nice album for SCAdian ears.......2007-04-25

This is a fun album. it's festive, playful, and a real joy to listen to. There is something for everyone in this album--including and especially SCAdians. In fact there's probably at least one piece on this album that every SCAdian dancer, musician, and/or bard will recognize. There's courtly songs, love songs, and get out of your chair dances, even formal pieces you associate with concert halls.

Whether you play in the SCA or just love great historical music, this is one of the better albums I've ever bought--on amazon or anywhere else!

Recording is defective.......2007-04-06

The first one I got had a lot of popping and crackling, and some digital defects that cause the CD player to skip. I liked the music so I bought another copy and it was the same. Both wound up in the trash. Don't waste your money on this disk.

adequate performances but totally inadequate information.......2005-04-27

It is perhaps unfair to judge the performances on this recording (presumably made in the late 1950s/early 60s? - we are not given a date) by modern standards of early music performance. Yes, there are moments when the experimental nature of the approach is all too apparent, both in terms of the [im]plausibility of the interpretations and in the [at times] excruciating intonation (a particularly pertinent example is the shawm playing in track 10). But what is in fact by far the most deplorable feature of this recording is the utter sparsity of information provided - about the performers, the instruments, the composers, the repertoire, etc. Worse still, what little that is provided is often hopelessly inaccurate: sometimes in the form of blatant spelling errors (eg the Coventry Carol becomes here 'Lully Lullary', etc), at other times factual blunders (the medieval 'Estampie' in track 10 is in fact a 16th cent [ie Renaissance] tourdion, 'Quand je bois du vin clairet', whilst John Dowland's 'Frogg Galliard', c.1597, is here given an anonymous attribution...etc, etc, etc).

In short, for those not acquainted with pre-Baroque music, this is NOT a good place to start!!! Seasoned Early Music connoisseurs, on the other hand, may find a perverse pleasure in some atrocious moments, or perhaps take interest in its value as an example of historically informed performance style in the pioneering years - but you have been warned!!

For those interested, here are some alternative recommendations if you are new to this music: firstly, 2 wide-ranging compilations by 2 well-known ensembles -

1. Sinners and Saints - The New London Consort/Philip Pickett (Decca 48559)
2. Portrait ('Moyen Age et Renaissance') - Hesperion XX/Jordi Savall (Auvidis Fontalis 'Portrait' ES9904), or either of the 2 new compilations by Savall and his ensemble(s) on Alia Vox ('Harmonie Universelle', AV9810; 'Harmonie Universelle II', AV9839).

and a compilation (mostly of early music) featuring a number of different groups -

'Pastime with Good Company' (Alpha, A901) [includes groups like L'Arpegiatta, Le Poeme Harmonique, Diabolus in Musica...]

A nice overview of very early music.......2003-12-02

This was one of the first recordings of early music I ever bought. It's a broad survey of styles and periods, from the 12th to 17th centuries. I've become a more sohisticated listener since then, but I still get this one out fairly regularly. The recording is apparently old and the digital remastering was not done extraordinarily well, but those who are more interested in music than in audio equipment should be able to listen through the occasional (minor) vinyl surface noise. My major complaint (why I gave it 3 stars instead of 4) is the lack of documentation--there is no information about the musicians, and many of the composers are uncredited (some because they actually are anonymous, but sometimes out of apparent laziness). Still, at this price it's a bargain.

Don't Be Affraid.......2003-11-19

This cd is worth picking up. Yes the first couple of tracks have pops and crackles in it. And yes it sounds as if the music was transfered directly from a vinyl source. But the performances and selections on this cd are fabulous. And you get use to the flaws in the recordings. Which I find minor.

This cd was actually the first Medieval and Renaissance album I ever bought. I bought it randomly in 1992 to try and introduce myself to these two era's of Classical music. And it was PERFECT. I have been a loyal fan of Medieval & Renaissance music ever since. I currently own 25 to 30 cd's covering these era now. And this album is still one of my favorites......

This is a great lieder recital........2001-04-03

Lieder recitals are rarely commercially viable. Even at Salzburg in the 1930s, they were rarely sold out. To hear settings by Schubert, Schumann, Brahms and Wolf of texts by Goethe, Heine, and other of the great German poets, for solo voice with piano accompaniment, music lovers nowadays can rely more and more on CD issues such as this. I reckon the situation is not one to complain about. Lieder CDs of singers of the present and past can offer good value: clear vocal reproduction, texts in German and translation, and the option of rearranging or repeating items.

Testament have collected the Wolf lieder recorded by Hans Hotter and Gerald Moore during the 1950s. More than 20 lieder were recorded - one twice - and the producer was Walter Legge. Whether as Prometheus fulminating at the gods, or a phoney monk asking to be left alone by the bedside of a sick young woman, whether as an anguished mendicant harper or as a visitor to a beautiful garden who discovers that it contains the grave of Anacreon - Hotter's interpretations are masterly. Gerald Moore accompanies in his usual skilled, robust way.

I detect no technical or performance faults during this 70 minute CD. Some of the later items appear in stereo for the first time. This is a great lieder recital.

EMI's "society" subscription editions in the 1930s yielded a wealth of recordings long considered gramophone classics, such as the present collection of roughly half of Hugo Wolf's lieder output. Each song occupies its own specific world, due to Wolf's resourceful word setting and his avoidance of anything generic. In turn, the performers illuminate each song's felicities with effortless authority, and they avoid overpointing or enacting. Full texts and translations are included. Ernest Newman's penetrating annotations for the original 78 albums, reprinted in EMI's 1981 LP reissue, are absent. --Jed Distler

The Hugo Wolf Society Recordings.......2005-12-28

The songs of Hugo Wolf (1860 -- 1903)combine great attention to textual detail with closely intertwined writing for the voice and the piano. In this small form, Wolf was a master and took song in a different direction from that of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms. He wrote most of his songs in bursts of activity in five large collections, devoted to the poetry of Morike, Eichendorff, Goethe, and to collections of Spanish and Italian texts. He also composed a number of songs in shorter sets.

In the early 1930s, a young Walter Legge began a project of recording Wolf songs on a subscribtion basis to be limited to 500 sets. The recording industry was relatively new, and Wolf, then as now, too little appreciated. The result was an extensive series of recordings of issued between 1931 and 1938 consisting of 145 songs, about one-half Wolf's output, performed by fourteen singers. The Hugo Wolf Society recordings remain a high moment in the recording of song. They were remastered on LPs and, in 1998, in this 5 CD collection which includes previously unreleased selections.

The Wolf Society collection offers an unparalleled opportunity to get to know Wolf's songs performed by artists of the past that might otherwise be unfamiliar to many listeners. The performers include mezzo-soprano Elena Gerhardt, who recorded the initial volume for the society, baritones Herbert Janssen, Gerhard Husch, tenors John McCormack, Karl Erb, and Helge Roswaenge, the basses Alexander Kipnis, Frederich Schorr, and Ludwig Weber, and sopranos Alexandra Trianti, Elizabeth Rethberg, Ria Ginster, Marta Fuchs, and Tiana Lemnitz. The pianists include Conrad Bos, Gerald Moore, Michael Raucheisen, Hans Udo Muller, and Ernest Victor Wolff.

The singers perform in a variety of styles from the highly operatic to the quietly lyrical. There is a Wagnerian performance of Goethe's "Prometheus" by Friedrich Schorr with the London Symphony Orchestra -- the only track using an orchestral accompaniment. The Irish tenor John McCormack shows a more lyrical approach in his renowned performance of Goethe's poem "Ganymed". The sopranos, Alexandra Trianti, Ria Ginster, and Tiana Lemitz have light, clear, bell-like voices. I find the singers on this compilation take a much more individualized, idiosyncratic, and romantic approach to song than do their modern counterparts, who sometimes seem restrained and chaste by comparison.

Each of Wolf's great collections of songs is well-represented. Elena Gerhardt performs songs from each of Wolf's five books, with the exception of the Goethe songs. The young Alexander Kipnis gives a powerful reading of Wolf's three songs from Michaelangelo. The third CD in this collection features many songs from the Italian songbook performed by soprano Ginster, baritone Husch, and bass Kipnis together with recordings from the Spanish songbook by sopranos Rethberg and Ginster and baritone Husch. There are lovely performances by soprano Tiana Lemnitz in the previously uncollected supplementary material, which also includes several Eichendorff songs and a performance of the Goethe-song "Phanomen" by Alexander Kipnis.

There is a great amount of material in this collection, with each of the 5 CDs including in excess of 70 minutes of music. Most of Wolf's songs are highly concentrated and intense. They may prove difficult to the listener coming to them knowing only the lyricism of Schubert. I would not recommend trying to rush through this set at one or two hearings. It is best to take this music in small sections and to listen with text in hand. The compilation includes texts and translations for each of the songs together with good notes about the Wolf Society recording project. There is little discussion about Wolf or about the songs themselves.

This is an essential collection for those who love song, historical recordings, and the music of Hugo Wolf.

"Even little things can delight us.".......2003-06-02

If these six words give an approximate translation of the song "Auch kleine Dinge", then they might also describe a music lover's reaction as he makes a journey of exploration through the hundreds of little songs composed by Hugo Wolf.

Walter Legge, a very young EMI record producer in the 1930s, first made such a journey possible when he pioneered the Hugo Wolf Society and began releasing the volumes now reissued in this boxed set. Many singers were invited to participate. Legge's choice of singers was sometimes idiosyncratic. You might wonder how an Irish tenor, a Ukrainian bass and a Greek soprano were admitted to the roster. The results, however, especially in the case of the contributions of John McCormack and Alexander Kipnis, prove the sureness of his instincts.

About half Wolf's songs were made available in the original issue, between 1931 and 1938. With this reissue comes unused and hitherto unissued recordings, many by Tiana Lemnitz and Herbert Jannsen. So there is now more to discover and exploration is made easier for us in 2003 than it was in the 1930s. The remastering has improved the sound, Legge's widow Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is able to provide a perceptive introduction in an accompanying booklet, and the texts of the songs are now provided in German and English.

Wolf sung by various Lieder singers.......2000-08-15

This is an extraordinary collection of Wolf songs. It is frustrating that the project was not completed, as the quality of what was recorded is so extraordinarily revelatory. My personal favourites are the Michelangelo settings sung by the bass Alexander Kipnis, although he uncharacteristically makes some textual errors. The contributions of Hüsch are numerous and thoughtfully sung, and Karl Erb, Herbert Janssen, Ludwig Weber, Rita Ginster and Marta Fuchs are all caught on extraordinary form, with accompanists of admittedly variable quality, ranging from the sublime Gerald Moore to some very interesting contributions from some accompanists who did not really capture the true essence of Lieder accompanying, which surely cannot permit the piano to be subservient to the voice!

These precious recordings offer us so much. They are a document of a golden age of Lieder singing, and they are superb recitals, sung by a variety of voices, never allowing the listener to tire of listening to a single voice for too long. They are also, of course, examples of some of the most wonderful Lieder writing of any time. These 5 cds are a must for a Lieder specialist, and can open new doors to the novice. Buy them, and never regret having this treasure trove which will give you pleasure all your life.

Remarkable double set for a master voice.......2007-03-25

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is not only one of the most remarkable opera singers but probably the best performer of german lieder ever, and this double set of EMI's The Very Best series is it a vivid proof of it. His noble singing, impressive characterizations and powerful understanding of music is clearly portrayed here.
There is only one thing missing for perfection: Fischer-Dieskau's marvelous performance of Mozart music, absent in this set, but you can find high peaks: Schubert's Das Wandern, Die Forelle (always one of my favorite lieder), Brahms'Wiegenlied, Wagner's Die Frist ist um (chilling) and Verdi's Eri tu (sour mix of rage and sorrow).

The Finest Collection of German Lieder.......2005-01-15

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is the master when it comes to German song. He is the king when it comes to Lied (song) interpretation by any German composer from Gluck to Schubert to Wolf. Sure, people may prefer Fritz Wunderlich or newer greats like Thomas Quasthoff, but everybody must first hear Fischer-Dieskau's take on the song.

I received this CD as a Christmas gift, and was very excited to hear the quality of all the performances. Fischer-Dieskau's specialty is his Schubert Lieder, and his renditions are all fantastic-my favorites are Track 1, Die Schoene Mullerin, with its catchy accompaniment, Staendchen (Track 10), the serenade, and Du bist die Ruh (Track 11). Of course Erlking is a fan favorite, and FD's interpretation is fantastic.

Many people try to describe Fischer-Dieskau's style of interpretation and I find it quite difficult to explain. He has the ability to sing with a feeling of spontaneity, as if he is thinking and feeling the lyrics off the cuff, and yet technically each song is perfect, as if there is complete attention to detail.

The second CD contains excerpts from some of FD's opera/oratorio career, and some of the tracks are quite impressive. I personally prefer James Morris singing Wotan's Abschied by Wagner, but FD's version is extremely moving. FD is a bigger fish in the Lieder world than he is in the opera world, however (if the Lieder world is actually big enough to be a world--maybe just a region).

My take is that anybody who loves Fischer-Dieskau, German Lieder, or just good singing in general will be impressed and happy to own such a CD. I'm not familiar with all of FD's recordings (check it out, there are a lot) to know if these tracks really are HIS BEST, or if there are any glaring omissions, but I think everything on this CD is top-drawer.

How fortunate we are that a man like Fischer-Dieskau came along during the era of recorded sound. This CD is fantastic, and all music-lovers will approve.

A Valiant Try.......2000-05-10

Dame Janet is clearly the greatest postwar mezzo-soprano the British isles have ever produced. She had just about everything one could wish for in a singer: taste, sensitivity, passion, nuance, acting ability, superb vocal control, flexibility, an instantly recognizable timbre, and a dedication to championing lesser known works. She is the very definition of the serious-minded, committed artist who luckily also had great natural ability. She performs at her usual unassailable standards on this recording but somehow things don't add up to much. Perhaps the choice of material was to blame. The Argento songs are of that modern, atonal variety that, with the exception of a few original bars, sound pretty much like every other modern, atonal piece you've ever heard. And their straightforward passions don't evoke the cerebral, luminous Virginia Woolf at all (although, the liner notes indicate that the composer sought to exempt himself from criticism by claiming that he intended not to evoke Woolf specifically but suffering womankind in general). The Wolf Spanish lieder are instantly forgettable (he's one composer, along with Brahms, whose perhaps too subtle charms I have long been deaf to). Things perk up with the concluding French airs, but the Argento songs must have left an unpleasant residue because Baker is here uncharacteristically heavy and emphatic where she should be light and elliptical. By comparison, Regine Crespin's recording of Apres un Reve is appropriately dreamily sensuous whereas Baker's here is a tad emotionally overwrought and puritannical, as if the song were about Dido or Mary Stuart's dream. There's a currently unavailable recording of Baker singing Ravel, Chausson, and Delage that is one of the best things she's ever done, full of light arabesques and the right amount of French ivresse. Until that recording becomes available, I would not suggest this as a viable alternative.

Miraculous.......2000-03-30

Obviously the art songs are all at the superior level you expect from Dame Janet, but you will be blown away by the Argento. A stunning miracle of breath, technique, dramatic expressiveness, and emotional force. And it was recorded live- few other singers would dare these feats of phrasing in a studio, let alone in front of an audience. Don't worry that it's a live recording- the audience is utterly under Dame Janet's spell; it may sound cliched, but time absolutely stops while she is singing.

A humbling experience for anyone who deludes him/herself that he/she is a singer-- but this is a MUST MUST MUST have!

A recording to appeal to the heart, the mind and the soul.......2007-06-28

I am an adorer of the music of Hugo Wolf - his songs are, for me, far more appealing personally than the songs of any other Lieder composer. Perhaps that is for several reasons: his taste in poetry was superb (except when he chose a libretto for his opera - and I think we can blame his increasing mental health situation (syphilis) for that); his use of harmonic unexpectedness deeply appeals to me; his interweaving of the piano and voice is wonderfully powerful; and of all the Lieder composers, his music most repays an intensely intellectual approach that is at the same time highly emotional.

There's a quite extraordinary quality of sensuousness in much of the songs in this Spanisches Liederbuch - think of "In dem Schatten meiner Locken" and "Bedeckt mich mit Blumen", for instance. To properly infuse the text with meaning and beauty, the singer is (in my opinion) required to know the timbre and colour of each word in each phrase, to be master of the song's phrases, pauses, smiles, sighs. I know there are some who feel that Schwarzkopf and Fischer-Dieskau are not "spontaneous", but great art does not require spontaneity - it requires greatness of talent and the communication of meaning. If you love the detail and fine brush-strokes that make what in my opinion is the mastery of miniature in song, you will fall in love with this recording.

I was captivated by the unique ability of Schwarzkopf to put her emotions into her voice, and to do this in such a way that it illuminated every phrase. Fischer-Dieskau is no less superb - he is without question a master of the Lied, and his beautifully phrased voice is the highest example of intellect in vocal music. Both Schwarzkopf and Fischer-Dieskau are also native German singers, and their German is immaculate. Their understanding AND communication of the song texts is unmatched.

Recommended in the highest degree.

Overly refined performance.......2007-06-19

These are beautiful voices of two of the world's foremost singers. The accompanist is no less distinguished. Sound quality is very good.
I regret that I have to say that despite of all this I can not really enjoy this set. To me, the singing is overly refined. There is so much attention to detail that it disrupts the flow of the songs. The result is a lack of spontaneity and instead many phrases that sound forced.
For dedicated fans only.

Unsurpassed to this day.......2006-12-18

Wolf's Italian and spanish songbooks are among his most difficult works to penetrate. Schwarzkopf and Fischer-Dieskau made great recordings of both, and since then various sopranos and baritones have made highly successful versions of the Italian collection, which consists of very short songs, mostly not melodic, that can feel too intensely concentrated to follow through an enire hour.

It was Wolf's habit to invent a new style for each major colleciton of songs, and in the case of the Spanish songbook, the style is far form the Italian. Songs are longer, often melodic (though the melodies are convoluted and even tortured), the mood sober and inward, especially in the first ten songs--these are so tormented in their Spanish Cathlicism that not every listener will be able to take more than a few at a time. Anguished as they are, they are also the summit of Wolf's art, to me at least, and Fischer-Dieskau and Schwarzkopf make them shattering in their impact. Perhaps that's why so few sisngers have been tempted to approach the Spanish Songobok since then (there is an outstanding version on EMI, howver, from vo Otter and Olaf Bar.)

I own the original CD set and cannot comment on the latest refurbishment. The sound is fine in any event, and tough as this music is to listen to at times, no lover of Lieder can afford not to experience this very great recordings.

This 2-cd set comes as part of the DG Originals series of reissues `now reproduced' DG tell us `with unprecedented fidelity'. Well, they would say that, wouldn't they? Precedented or not, the recorded sound is perfectly good if slightly unstartling. The original recording dates from 1967, when Fischer-Dieskau was still somewhere near the height of his powers, and Schwarzkopf perhaps just a little past the height of hers. The recital also commemorates the very special artistry of Gerald Moore. Purely as a technical executant he may not have been quite the equal of some of today's accompanists such as Roger Vignoles or Graham Johnson, but his sheer tact and sensitivity are probably still unrivalled.

Schwarzkopf has told us that for her Wolf is the `greatest' of the Lieder-writers, and that may be so for all such an expression conveys to me. To my ears, Wolf's songs are great music and great and profound art. What I find difficult to envisage is anyone loving these songs in the way we love those of Schubert, Schumann and Wolf's own pet hate Brahms. Wolf was also a musical critic, a prominent and outstandingly raucous adherent of Wagner's new musical era. A glance at the man's photograph, the head and features handsome but the expression hunted, haunted and obsessed, is enough to create alarm. He died early and insane, a victim of syphilis, but the style of his songs is highly intellectual. They don't remind me of Wagner in the least, and although he often used a flexible and non-lyrical vocal idiom he had a certain amount of melodic talent when he cared to show it, as in the first few of the `secular' songs that make up the majority of the Spanish Songbook. He was an ultra-craftsman, both in his innovative vocal writing and in his outstandingly original and resourceful piano accompaniments. It's the craftsmanship that makes the greatest impact on me, and I shouldn't wonder if that were not also what specially appealed to Schwarzkopf.

Wolf's way of working was to focus on one poet at a time to the exclusion of others. The Spanish songbook takes a set of translations, by Emanuel Giebel and Paul Heyse, of 16th and 17th century Spanish folk-poetry. The first 10 of these are to religious texts, the remaining 34 to secular - all songs about love, mainly unrequited but not always, particularly not in the last song of all. The religious songs are more demanding on the listener than the secular numbers, many of which have attractive melodies of a comparatively traditional kind and highly ingenious and engaging guitar-effects in their accompaniments. In general, the Spanish Songbook is easier to come to terms with than its slightly austere Italian counterpart.

The artistry and intellectual penetration shown by Fischer-Dieskau and Schwarzkopf are of the highest order, exactly as one would expect. Spontaneity is not the keynote, but we should not expect that - this is Wolf, not Schubert. Every detail is carefully crafted, and Moore is completely admirable in his handling of the varied piano effects and in his perfect sense of how to balance the piano writing, more partnership than accompaniment, with the singers. Schwarzkopf's voice by this stage has lost some of its youth, but she remains a great artist and a great interpreter of this composer, and the recording happily does not attempt any artificial enhancements.

Texts are of course given in full with English translations by the admirable Lionel Salter. The liner-note by Alan Blyth is slightly tiresome with its incessant message of how marvellous the music is and how perfectly the singers deal with it, but it contains some useful background material. For me, this is an outstanding issue and a welcome addition to my collection of the work of three great musicians. For cautious newcomers to Wolf I'd suggest trying `The Fire-rider' from his Moerike songs to hear just how marvellous he can be. As a next step, this set of the Spanish Songbook would be as good as I can suggest.

The lied's greatest exponent........2000-08-27

Hugo Wolf, who died raving mad in an asylum in 1903, was a singular figure on the Vienna music scene during his short life: composer of one opera, legendary bohemian, the most notorious music critic of his time and also, incidentally, the greatest composer of lieder (art songs) who ever lived. This magnificent reissue of his "Spanisches Liederbuch" is not only a must have for any lover of lieder, but also a tremedous value. Elisabeth Schwartzkopf and Dietrech Fischer-Dieskau sing these songs with sensitivity, emotion and the astonishing control that can only come from a deep knowledge of their material. For me, though, the highlight of these disks is the keyboard work of Gerald Moore, who plays Wolf's songs with grace, finesse, precision and delicacy. A true pianistic artist. This is some of the greatest music ever written, brilliantly performed, and at a more than reasonable price. Highly recommended.

The diverse artistry of Jan Degaetani.......2000-12-07

Of all the many treasurable discs of the late mezzo and her musical partner Gilbert Kalish, this is perhaps my favorite, since it showcases not only the technical and interpretive mastery that made her such an ideal interpreter of modern music, but also the sheer beauty of the voice itself. Degaetani's treatment of the Schubert songs may not reveal many new insights (or particularly clear enunciation of the German text), but the freshness and purity of her tone is ravishing, especially in the long descending lines of "Blondel zu Marien" (her "Ganymed" is also gorgeous, full of sun and warmth). The Wolf songs, by contrast, do not make for pretty or even pleasant listening (as they should not), but Degaetani's alertness to every shade of meaning, whether in the tortured religious songs or the bantering coquetry of the lighter "love" lyrics, make for thrilling performances, while her wide range of dynamics and perfect intonation (always so important in this music) are never less than breathtaking. Listen to the end of "Bedeckt mich mit Blumen"--Degaetani's languid sighing of the words "vor Liebe" just after singing them forte will give you chills; it perfectly conveys the bewilderment and masochistic anguish of the lovesick. Very occasionally the voice, always short at the top, can acquire an unpleasant bleating sound in the highest range in the Wolf songs, but this is a very small imperfection in what is an otherwise exhilarating recital of songs.

A pretty puzzle among song cycles........2006-07-22

The 'Italienisches Liederbuch' has always been a puzzle to me, as a devoted listener to German Lieder from Schubert to Mahler and Zemlinsky, but my casual listening to this work always puzzled me. The style of music is quite clearly nothing like Italian songs, and they are all written in German. Now I know Wolf was the last great Lieder specialist, so he must have had something up his sleeve.

Just as I resort to reading the directions after all putzing around with software installation fails, I read the liner notes and discover that the Italian influence is in the style of lyrics, written by Paul Heyse. All the short pieces (46 in all) roughly alternate between male (Olaf Bar) and female (Dawn Upshaw) pieces and there is some degree of conversation between the two parts.

Reading the text, I also detect that the subject matter is distinctly Italian, with food, wine, and carnal appetites being high on the list of subjects (unlike the very sentimental German take on love).

I am generally fond of Dawn Upshaw's singing, but she is clearly a lightweight, and does not do as good a job as, for example Anne Sophie Von Otter does with Wolf's 'Spanisches Liederbuch'.

The work is so interesting, this rendition encourages me to seek out additional interpretations. Stay tuned!
