Product Description Angelika Kirchschlager is regarded as one of the most distinguished mezzo-sopranos of her generation, and in particular is recognised internationally for her interpretations of Richard Strauss. She gives regular solo recitals, balancing her operatic career with lieder performances. Eminent piano accompanist and leading authority on the song repertoire, Roger Vignoles, is her long-standing musical partner. On this live recoding Kirchschlager and Vignoles collaborate to perform nine Strauss songs as well as Wolf s lieder to texts by Eduard Mörike and Gottfried Keller. Wolf set 43 of Mörike s poems to music during a period of intense creativity in which he developed a heady new musical language. Kirchschlager delights in the opportunity to convey this with glorious colouring of phrases which are fittingly matched by the piano. Review listen to how Angelika Kirchschlager and Rogher Vignoles fashioned [ Morgen ] at their Wigmore Hall recital in February and you will hear a miniature master class in Lieder singing ... Art not artifice, and that is the best compliment one can pay to this fine recital --International Record ReviewWhat a generous communicator is the vivacious Angelika Kirchschlager ... The equal partnership of voice and piano is warmly assisted by the ideal Wigmore Hall recording --BBC Music Magazine
