Recorded 1996 & 2000 “Few discs of favourite Schubert songs match this for sheer beauty...[Bostridge] offers fresh revelation in even the best-known songs” Penguin Guide, 2010 edition **** “A voice more for Schöne Müllerin than Winterreise, Bostridge's fresh, buoyant, beautifully articulated tenor suits these Lieder perfectly. The literary and musical impulses are in perfect equilibrium, and Drake's rapport is absorbing.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2006 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Gérard Souzay and Dalton Baldwin: Duo Recital
Gérard Souzay was one of the really great singers of the 20th century and was admired for his sense of style and musicality. His Lieder interpretations are considered as legendary. This is one of the few recordings of Souzay available on the international market and was recorded when the singer was in his prime in 1960. “The French lyric baritone in a fragrant Liederabend from the 1960 Schwetzingen Festival which includes soft-focus Schubert and Strauss, and Frank Martin's Siz Monologues for Everyman.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2012 *** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

“This may be the most perfect of discs, owing to Price's magic partnership with Graham Johnson. Schubert's most popular songs are given a new lease of life.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2011 ***** “At first, I found Price’s characterisation a little detached and impersonal, perhaps because of the very beauty of her voice, but her performances grew on me. Her exemplary phrasing, breath control and seamless musical line are heard to fine effect in Death and the Maiden and Wanderers Nachtlied, and in her broadening out of the glorious “all-liebender Vater” in Ganymede.” Sunday Times, 5th June 2011 *** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

Beethoven: | An die Hoffnung, Op. 94 Zärtliche Liebe 'Ich liebe dich', WoO 123 | Brahms: | Dein blaues Auge, (No. 8 from Acht Lieder und Gesänge, Op. 59) Liebestreu, Op. 3 No. 1 Wenn du nur Zuweilen lächelst (No. 2 from Acht Lieder und Gesänge, Op. 57) Der Tod, das ist die kühle Nacht, Op. 96 No. 1 An ein Veilchen, Op. 49 No. 2 (Text: L.C.H. Hölty) Von ewiger Liebe, Op. 43 No. 1 | Haydn: | Geistliches Lied, Hob.

For her first Lieder recital, respectes soprano Anja Harteros has made a personal choice, spanning a wide arc from Haydn to Strauss. “Anja Harteros is a tall, dark beauty whose smoldering emotions erupt into cascades of gorgeously produced tone, all right on the mark and thrilling to hear.” New York Magazine. “The most beautiful soprano voice to emerge in the last decade shows us how affectingly she can scale down from Verdi and lighter Wagner. From Haydn's little prayer, its introduction telling us what kind of hallowed support to expect from pianist Wolfram Rieger, to Beethoven's 'An die Hoffnung' we move into the shadows and back. ...Harteros nobly underlines two very special centres of gravity: Schubert's 'Wehmut', lightened by its vivacious successor, and Brahms's 'Die Tod, das ist die kühle Nacht', inflected with all the luminous and darker tones she is capable of conjuring. An enchanted hour.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2010 ***** “…Brahms's "Von ewiger Liebe" is included as the recital's "title-song" and suits well her sumptuous tone and strong sense of dramatic phrasing. She is especially responsive to Strauss's soprano-flattering lines. The lullaby "Meinem Kinde" is charmingly done, as especially is "Allerseelen", suggesting the manner of the Four Last Songs... Rieger is an eloquent partner in this highly coloured songs.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2009 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

Perfido, Op. 65 Gundula Janowitz (soprano) | Brahms: | Sapphische Ode, Op. 94 No. 4 Christa Ludwig (soprano) Vergebliches Ständchen, Op. 84 No. 4 Christa Ludwig (soprano) Wiegenlied, Op. 49 No. 4 (Lullaby) Rita Streich (soprano) Geheimnis, Op. 71 No. 3 Rita Streich (soprano) Vergebliches Ständchen, Op. 84 No. 4 Rita Streich (soprano) | Egk: | Quattro Canzoni Irmgard Seefried (soprano) | Mahler: | Rheinlegendchen (Des Knaben Wunderhorn) Christa Ludwig (soprano) | Mendelssohn: | Auf Flügeln des Gesanges, Op. 34 No. 2 Rita Streich (soprano) | Mozart: | Sehnsucht nach dem Frühlinge, K596 Rita Streich (soprano) | Schubert: | Seligkeit D433 (Holty) Rita Streich (soprano) Lachen und Weinen, D777 Rita Streich (soprano) Die Vogel D691 Rita Streich (soprano) | Schumann: | Die Lotosblume, Op. 25 No. 7 Rita Streich (soprano) | Strauss, R: | Schlechtes Wetter, Op. 69 No. 5 Rita Streich (soprano) | Tchaikovsky: | Otchevo? (Why?), Op. 6 No. 5 Galina Vishnevskaya (soprano) O ditya, pod okoshkom tvoim (Serenade), Op. 63 No. 6 Galina Vishnevskaya (soprano) | Wagner: | Mild und leise 'Isolde's Liebestod' (from Tristan und Isolde) Tristan und Isolde, Act III Gré Brouwenstijn (soprano) Schmerzen (No. 4 from Wesendonck-Lieder) Träume (No. 5 from Wesendonck-Lieder) Gré Brouwenstijn (soprano) | Wolf, H: | Bescheidene Liebe Rita Streich (soprano) |
"On wings of song" - Heine's words and Mendelssohn's immortal melody, sung here by the inimitable Rita Streich, perfectly encapsulate the spirit of this collection. Six of the greatest voices of the last half-century perform a range of familiar music: romantic Wagner from Gré Brouwenstijn and collectors' items such as Egk's four Italian songs from the matchless Irmgard Seefried. These were the commanding voices of their day, from Christa Ludwig's warm mezzo, to Gundula Janowitz's crystalline soprano and the dramatic brilliance of Galina Vishnevskaya, all captured in their prime. “With Vishnevskaya the odd-Russian-out, these 1960s films preserve the art of female singers mostly in the German Lied repertoire. Visual and sonic quality is variable, platform manners quaint, but the vocalism regularly excellent.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2009 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
