Music reviews of Schubert, Mendelssohn: Lieder; Strauss: Brentano-Lieder
Music Review: A Gracious Souvenir!
Rating: 5 Stars
Edita Gruberova remains one of the more important recitalists and opera singers of the 20th Century: her Strauss roles such as her ownership of Zerbinetta from 'Ariadne auf Naxos' are legendary. She not only possessed a voice of thrilling coloratura range, but she also was technically able to dash off endless trills, individualize her technique for the song/aria of the moment, and amidst all her technical wizardry still convey the text like few others of her day.
This thoroughly successful recording was made during a recital in the 1980 Salzburg Festival when Gruberova was at the peak of her powers as a singer and communicator. Ably accompanied by Erik Werba she owns the stage with lieder by Schubert, Mendelssohn and Strauss. Joining Gruberova and Werba for the Schubert 'Der Hirt auf dem Felsen' is the fine clarinetist Peter Schmidl in one of the very best recordings of this popular piece. She offers a fine selection of other Schubert lieder and then launches into a less well-known group of songs by Mendelssohn, each seemingly selected to focus on her prodigious talent.
The recital ends, naturally, with her established territorial stance in the songs of Strauss - not the expected standards widely used by others, but the demandingly difficult 'Brentano-Lieder'. Here Gruberova stakes her claim to this repertoire and few coloraturas have been able to match her virtuosity. This album is highly recommended not only for those already familiar with Edita Gruberova, but for those who appreciate the fine art of intelligent and demanding lieder recitals.
