Erlkönig: The Art of the Lied [Enhanced]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This record is a jewel box: wherever you open it, you find precious gems and pearls. The program includes the greatest songs in the literature; although they are familiar, you cannot hear them often enough. Four singers who not only possess some of the most beautiful voices of our time, but also are among the foremost interpreters of this repertoire, perform these songs. The recordings, originally made between the 1960s and 1980s, capture the singers at their incomparable peak; the differences between their vocal and interpretive styles add greatly to the disc's fascination. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's technique and breath control are incredible; he can brighten and darken his voice; his pianissimo floats, his climaxes ring. Always famous for his intellectual approach and for giving equal attention to poetry and music, Fischer-Dieskau sings here unusually spontaneously and free of "word-painting." Fritz Wunderlich's voice has a uniquely melting, yearning lyricism and a radiant, soaring top; his expression is simple and direct. He subtly changes tempo and vocal color for contrast in the strophic Schubert songs, and makes Schumann's "Ich grolle nicht" sound unrelentingly angry--contradicting the text, but following the musical feeling. Christa Ludwig brings out the character and mood of each song, and sings with great inwardness and intensity; her voice is dark, warm, and variable, her pacing perfect. Jessye Norman's diction is no less admirable than the German singers', and her voice is simply glorious. She knows exactly how to use its infinite color and variation--its thrilling, luminous glow, and intense expressiveness--as an interpretive tool, and makes it converse, caress, demand, exult, smile, and laugh. The pianists, two of whom are eminent conductors, are absolutely marvelous. --Edith Eisler

Customer Reviews:

Incomparable.......2002-02-04

There is no better rendering of these beautiful, exquisitely romantic songs anywhere. Fischer-Dieskau has made them his own and, as usual, he and Karl Engel so well anticipate each other that it sounds as if they are reading each other's minds. It's difficult to believe that Brhams himself would not have been very well pleased.

The Leading Singers Of Lieder.......2005-10-26

Fabulous Recording, Tremendous Student Resource!.......2003-02-07

Almost Perfect.......2002-01-23

But that is no reason not to buy this CD. Fritz Wunderlich's extremely uptempo interpretation of the crowd-pleasing "Ich grolle nicht" alone is worth half the price of the CD, and the other half is more than compensated for by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's incomparable performance of Schubert's "Erlkonig", the disc's namesake. Other highlights from these two singers are Wunderlich's subtle, sublime "An die Musik," and Fischer-Dieskau's playful "Marienwurmchen"

Christa Ludwig's beautiful soprano soars in her interpretations of Schubert, particularly "Gretchen am spinnrade" and "Lachen und Weinen." Her delivery is nearly flawless, and even my mother (who hates sopranos for some reason or another) enjoys listening to her singing.

I would HIGHLY suggest buying this CD if you are studying voice. If you are, you will undoubtedly be studying several of the pieces featured here, and the immaculate renditions presented on this disc will undoubtedly be of great use to you.
