Schumann & Brahms Lieder

Elina Garanca

Classical - Released November 6, 2020 | Deutsche Grammophon (DG)

Hi-Res
Mezzo-soprano Elina Garanča has been known primarily as an operatic singer. This 2020 release on Deutsche Grammophon marks her debut on recordings in song repertory, although she and accompanist Malcolm Martineau performed these songs often in the months leading up to the recording, and there's nothing tentative about the performances. It's not saying too much to observe that Garanča here, more than in operatic recordings, brings the great Christa Ludwig to mind, although Ludwig sang lieder at all stages of her career. There's the gradual way in which Ludwig's voice matured over time, the sense of discovering things in it that one never knew were there. The overall richness of the voice, the depth in the lower register, the effortless power at the top: all these aspects will sound familiar to those who remember the German soprano, but none of it means that Garanča uses vocal beauty to skate across the meanings of the texts. She has a dramatic soprano's insight into Schumann's Frauenliebe und Leben, Op. 42, which brings out the arc of the cycle rather than letting it disintegrate into a set of individual songs. The individual Brahms lieder, mostly familiar numbers, have a real freshness here. Garanča's voice soars through it all, and it remains a wonder. May one hear more song repertory from this artist!© TiVo

Schumann & Berg : Lieder

Dorothea Röschmann

Classical - Released September 1, 2015 | Decca Music Group Ltd.

Hi-Res Booklet
The pairing of soprano Dorothea Röschmann and pianist Mitsuko Uchida is a somewhat odd one, but it seems to have been enthusiastically undertaken by both parties. This recording was made live, drawn from a tour in which the pair performed this exact program on both sides of the Atlantic. They know the music well and get deeply into it. Röschmann is a soprano much prized these days by those who value sheer richness of tone; she doesn't interact much with the great Eichendorff texts of the Liederkreis, Op. 39, although somehow she seems to connect more with Berg's Seven Early Songs; their Straussian flavor fits her voice perfectly. Uchida, as accompanist, is entirely different: her lines seem to flow like a river with its own energy beneath the text, and she is quietly probing in her playing. This combination gets to the similarity between the otherwise divergent Schumann and Berg; Schumann's songs, as much as those of the much later Berg's, are conversations between singer and pianist. Whether that conversation occurs here may be a matter of individual reaction, but the performance has both beauty and distinctiveness. Decca's engineers have gotten near-studio clarity from London's Wigmore Hall and captured the live excitement.© TiVo
