Austrian composer Johanna Müller-Hermann and Germany's Margarete Schweikert were both successful composers in their own time, supported by their families and with many dozens of publications to their credit. Yet the rediscovery of music by women, somewhat less active in German-speaking lands than in France or the anglophone sphere, has largely bypassed both composers. From the evidence on this 2023 release by mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately, with invaluable contributions by veteran accompanist Joseph Middleton, that is a major omission. In this unrelievedly grim program featuring Mahler's Kindertotenlieder ("Songs of Dead Children") in its voice-and-piano version, the contributions of Müller-Hermann and Schweikert more than hold their own. Interestingly the songs of Schweikert are the more modern of the pair, even though she hailed from the provincial German city of Karlsruhe; she was born nine years after Müller-Hermann, and in the fast-moving stylistic world of the turn of the century that made a lot of difference, but both composers were breathing the same air as Strauss and Mahler, and setting a lot of the same poets. Müller-Hermann inclined a bit toward women writers. Sample her bleakly declamatory Der letzte Abend, Op. 2, No. 4 ("The Last Evening"), to a text by Ricarda Octavia Huch. The various Strauss songs and especially Mahler's cycle receive committed, intense performances from Whately, whose recordings are rather infrequent but always well considered, and Chandos' Potton Hall sound is clear and completely idiomatic. However, the songs by Müller-Hermann and Schweikert here are the main attraction, and they may well rewrite a chunk of the lieder repertory. This album appeared on classical best-seller charts in early 2023.
