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

Customer Reviews:

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.

The poetry of Goethe has a unique place in German literature and German song--the sheer variety of his lyrics, from heaven-storming passion to calm acceptance, from tender love to vicious cynicism, made his words the source-material of many composers' finest settings. Christoph Prégardien and Michael Gees have put together an intelligent program that combines some of the best-known composers of the German song--Schubert, Wolf, Schumann, Beethoven--with lesser masters--Loewe, Schoeck; we get both Schubert's and Loewe's setting of the achingly nostalgic "Wanderer's Nightsong," and Loewe's jaunty setting of "Der Erlkonig," perhaps Schubert's best-known song, but by no means his exclusive property. Two songs of Gees's own are intelligent modern pastiches of the romantic style, solidly accomplished word-settings with interesting piano writing. All the songs here are admirably selected for Prégardien's darkly sorrowful pure voice and Gees's tactful, occasionally intense, accompaniment. --Roz Kaveney

What a wonderful recital!.......2000-02-17

After listening this CD we will finally know why Goethe is an great poet. Too much possibility contained in his poems, as this CD shows us. This unusual recital consists of 27 lieder from 11 composers, spanned from old Beethovan, Wolf to modern Diepenbrock, Shoeck, Gees. Thank God it contains very few over-sung Schubert-Goethe cliche. Pregardien selected and arrange these lieder wisely and carefully, and he deliberately changes style from one song to another. With his gold, clean voice and deep, intense interpretion, they reflected the wild and wide soul a great poet can be. Gees's accompaniment is as well.

Live Schwarzkopf.......2003-06-23

She practised, fretted, and re-recorded for her performances for EMI produced by her husband until the Voice became fettered. To her, and many of her listeners, they were perfect: each word modulated, dissected. To others, they were not: "mannered and arche" were often used to describe her performance by her haters.

This recording of a live performance is a treasure. Her voice fresh and a sense of spontaniety. Even her critics would yield to her this one time.

If Soprano Music Is Getting Right ino Your Nerve.......2003-03-03

Then try Schwarzkopf. She is soothing. She was the one who made Furtwangler forsake his baton for a moment, sitting fairly and squarely at the piano when she sang; she was the one who caught, strangely enough, even the ears and admiration of the loneliest musician of the century, Glenn Gould.

The recording is very nice and the equilibrium between the piano and the singer is superb. And Schwarzkopf was obviously still at her best. Well, if Callas is more dramatic, Schwarzkopf is more lyrical.

My only grumble for this record is the thundering big applause from the audience of this recital. But look at the price, it's a real bargain whichever way you look at it.

Exceptional in every way.......2001-10-11

Coloratura repertoire is difficult to compile. You would think that a "best of sample" just wouldn't flow. Well, sometimes old-timers shrug and this CD shows you why. The repertoire selection is diverse, ranging from arias with full orchestra to intimate art songs. And Ms. Dobbs is at the height of her purity of sound and technique.

Dobbs is currently a judge for the Marian Anderson Vocal Competition. Hearing this CD places you in a different time when she made such an impact on music-making as a whole. This CD is great for the vocal student learning new songs and diction, and at the same time for the expert seeking quality. Simply exceptional, it's a CD you can't just copy/burn from a friend.

Hidden treasure.......2000-01-27

A friend who is an opera buff and something of a historian introduced me to this pioneer and almost forgotten voice. A Marian Anderson contemporary,Ms.Dobbs is a diva in her own right with a sweet and powerful voice. A joy and thrill to listen to.

Singing with presence.......2007-06-18

The piano part is not without bad moments, the recording is quite bright, but yet there is not a unpleasant hard edge in singers voice one might imagine. Instead there is a lot of presence and maturity of great artist that made me stop and listen wonderful interpretation of familiar songs. If artists like Seefried and Jurinac are your favorites, I bet you'll appreciate Grümmer as well - try Abendempfindung to start. Quality/price ratio is exceptional.

Disappointed by first listening.......2003-08-04

After reading the rapturous reviews of this 2 CD album, I purchased it last week. There is a lot of music for the price, and the recording quality it good considering the age of the recordings. But I found myself less than enthusiastic about Elisabeth Grümmer's singing. I was particularly interested in the Schubert lieder. What I value most in lieder singing is naturalness and a certain pleasingness to the ear - lieder is after all song, not opera. Grümmer's voice seems to me more suited to the latter. I can think of a dozen or two contemporary lieder singers who I would much prefer over Grummer. Of the rest of the music on the album, I can't venture to say anything as I have only begun to explore this CD. But for Schubert lieder, stick with Fischer-Dieskau, Brigitte Fassbaender, Ian Bostridge, Sarah Walker,Richard Jackson, Janet Baker, Felicity Lott, Barbara Bonney,Elly Ameling, Stephen Varcoe (a remarkable voice - his version of Am Bach im Fruhling and Auf der Donau, cannot be beaten), Matthias Gorne, Cheryl Studer (her versions of I'm Fruhling, Der FluB, and Am See are wonderful) and innumerable others - in no particular order. While I'm at it, I have also listened to Bryn Turfel's recent recording of Schubert lieder. It has been highly reviewed in many quarters, but none of his performances would be my first choice.

An Answer To a Prayer........2001-01-05

It's amazing what treasures one can discover when browsing around Amazon.com! Discovering this 2 CD set, and quickly receiving it in the post soon after seemed like the answer to a prayer.

Here's more than two hours of lieder recital items compiled from broadcasts dating from 1948 to 1970. No allowances need be made for changes of acoustic or recording quality. One can listen entranced and undisturbed until, after the last track, applause breaks out after the last of Richard Strauss' "Four Last Songs".

If there is a welcome disturbance, it is the appearance of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and a chorus, joining the singer in a Schubert setting of a song from Goethe's "Faust". In his autobiography, Fischer-Dieskau provides a wondrous appreciation of Elisabeth Grümmer, allocating more space to it than to comments about all his other colleagues put together.

I shall not attempt anything similar, adding only that a reminder of the extremely low price should be enough to urge all lovers of German lieder to add this to the trolley.

Beauty Pure!.......1999-09-04

Grümmer's voice was probably the sweetest voice ever recorded.

She bares her soul in each and every recording and makes you gasp at the sheer beauty and urgency of what she sings; She simply bares her soul. This 2-CD together with her recording of Humperdinck's "Hänsel & Gretel" recently re-issued under EMI's "Great Recordings of the Century" MUST move you to tears!

I am really at a loss for words here - just get it, sit back and listen to the greatest voice of the century!!!!

One of the great singers of the 20th century.......1999-04-20

This is a fantastic recording at an unbelieveable price. Two live recordings of concerts given by this great spinto soprano who was never truly appreciated by the music-buying public. The voice retained its freshness until she retired, and this collection of lieder makes one weep at the sheer beauty of her voice. A great bargain!!!

A Recital with Three Constants: Goethe, Goode and Upshaw.......2005-07-09

More and more our sophisticated musicians are electing to create recordings that program interrelated works rather than opting for the chance to rehash old warhorses that are more likely to guarantee sales! This recording dates back to 1993 when Dawn Upshaw was in very fresh voice and was blossoming with her sensitive recitals paired with pianist Richard Goode. The fact that the recording continues to sell well is a fine omen, one that suggests audiences are more adventuresome than once was the case.

In this particular recital each of the works performed is a setting of the poetry of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The settings are by Schumann, Schubert, Wolf, and Mozart. Many of these works are well known: Schubert's 'Gretchen am Spinnrade' and 'Suleika', Schumann's 'Nachtlied', Wolf's set of four selections. But the joy is discovering the less well-known works by these composers. Upshaw's voice is a bit light for the texts at times but she is always musical and involved. Richard Goode's contributions are superb. In keeping with the concept of the recital the program closes with Mozart's setting for Goethe's 'Das Veilchen' demonstrating the power of Goethe's poetic durability over many years. Recommended. Grady Harp, July 05
