Music reviews of Schubert: Die schöne Müllerin

Music Review: Do stars really count when a recording is definitive?
Rating: 5 Stars

More than 30 years ago I bought this performance on a Seraphim LP. I thought the interpretation interesting but the voice colorless and dry. Now I discover, by means of modern digital remastering, that it was the pressing and not the singer that was at fault. Schiotz' light, silvery tenor really shines in this recording, though the neophyte should be forewarned: Schiotz was a "cool" singer with a light, silvery voice. He did not lay into high notes or show off the voice itself in any way when he sang. He was a vocal artist, which is to say, he used the voice like an instrument and thought of it as such. He was also a warm and open communicator who conveyed a wealth of feeling just by the way he could shade or darken his voice.

Also, a word on Gerald Moore's accompaniments. They have sometimes been chided as being "way too fast" for this cycle, primarily by more modern listeners who have become used to hearing their Schubert sung in a slow, lugubrious manner. (Francisco Araiza's version of the song "Pause," for instance, is a minute and a half slower than Schiotz'.) But this is not consistent with either Muller's texts or Schubert's score, and one should not blame Moore: six years earlier, Schiotz began recording the cycle with a different pianist in most of the songs he left us, and the tempi were pretty much the same. This was his, or perhaps their (as a mutual agreement) view of the work, and it has endured.

Other tenors may have "more voice" to bring to the table, among them Araiza and Wunderlich, yet neither of those estimable tenors have really penetrated the heart of the words as Schiotz did. 26 years after he made this recording, Schiotz did an article on how to interpret these songs, and ended by saying "I am immodest enough to recommend my own recording even though it was made in 1945." And why not? "It still conveys how I feel about these songs," he said. And so it does.
