4.0 out of 5 stars
A three-disc memorial from EMI to their greatest singer, September 23, 2005
This review is from: The Elisabeth Schwarzkopf Songbook (Audio CD)
In a way this is a hard set to recommend. Schwarzkopf is superlative throughout, but since these are out-of-print or unrelased recordings, they take second place to her official recordings. EMI looked into their vaults to give her a 70th birthday tribute, and I snapped the set up immeidately. I can't say I go back to it that often, but it fills out Schwarzkopf's great legacy quite well in the field of lieder--no opera included--and the very late material, when her voice was very faded and starting to darken with age, is the most moving.
