About
The earliest of these recordings are Peter Cornelius's Brautlieder from the heyday of the Romantic art song, settings in which the soprano's exemplary treatment of the words and the vocal line are fully in evidence. The affinities between this cycle of six songs and the traditional German folksong offer the singer - a native of Swabia - a welcome opportunity to colour her tone even further, an approach that is also found in her recordings of songs by Mozart, Brahms, Wolf and two lesser-known composers, Wilhelm Kienzl and Joseph Marx.
This compilation of Irmgard Seefried's recordings from the first ten years of her career in Vienna also includes some of Richard Strauss' most popular songs, such as Morgen and Allerseelen, that make it clear why their composer held the soprano in such high regard.
Vienna, 1943-1952.
