R. Strauss - Straussthe Complete Songs 2 [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Straussu2019s Drei Lieder der Ophelia have an inauspicious genesis. They were dashed off (together with three settings from Goetheu2019s Bucher des Unmutsu2014The Books of Bad Temper) in the throes of a legal battle with his publisher. Clearly Strauss hoped that three mad songs and three bad-tempered songs would represent a suitably poisoned chalice for his arch-enemy. But in the case of the three mad songs, they have proved highly effective in the concert hall, especially when performed by a great singing actress such as Anne Schwanewilms, whose dramatic and vocal gifts are highlighted in this, the second volume of the complete Strauss Lieder.rThe selection begins, like Volume One, in the familiar territory of Opus 10, and proceeds chronologically through to the Ophelia-Lieder, on the way taking in many songs that will be less well knownu2014if they are known at all. Highlights among them should certainly be the impassioned and dramatic O warst du mein!, the delightful miniatures of Weixdfer Jasmin and Wiegenliedchen, the two Alsatian folksongs, and not least the remarkable Blindenklage.rAnne Schwanewilms is one of the greatest Strauss sopranos on the opera stage today, performing many major roles under Simon Rattle, Colin Davis, Andrew Davis, Semyon Bychkov and Mark Elder. This is her debut recording for Hyperion.
