Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (soprano) & Michael Raucheisen (piano) A document out of the ordinary: Elisabeth Schwarzkopf's Lieder recordings with her accompanist Michael Raucheisen, made on 6th January 1958 at the RIAS studios in Berlin, are an impressive example of the fruitful cooperation between these two artists. They performed together as early as 1942, at the beginning of Schwarzkopf's glittering career, and more than one and a half decades later this artistic partnership drew to a close with these recordings.These interpretations of selected songs by Wolf, Schubert and Strauss, made available for the first time, reveal new facets of her creative art.The CD is completed with music by Purcell, Arne and Quilter - Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Michael Raucheisen at the height of their abilities. | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

Elin Manahan-Thomas Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Harry Christophers “…what really marks Thomas out is the humanity and intimacy of her very personal interpretations of such familiar pieces as Handel's 'Ombra Maio Fu' (which also features lovely trumpet playing by David Blackadder) and Dowland's 'Flow My Tears'. The final track Monteverdi's 'Pur Ti Miro', is an exemplary duet with countertenor Robin Blaze.” BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2007 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

“The Frenchman Gérard Souzay (1918-2004) was undoubtedly one of the greatest baritones of the post-war period… Souzay's voice was… rich and smoothly produced, with an integral legato, always favouring the flow of the vocal lines… a style perfect for the predominantly French songs in these recitals. For TV recordings of this vintage the quality is excellent, making this recommendable to anyone who loves fine singing.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2007 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
