Video duration: 293 seconds Andrea Chenier - Umberto Giordano Recorded 20 September 1954 At Watford Town Hall, near London Philharmonia Orchestra under Tullio Serafin Producer Walter Legge of EMI (husband of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf).

Emma Kirkby: Mozart's Laudate Dominum Posted by: Glenmed
Video duration: 275 seconds Emma is highly regarded as an exponent of baroque music. I like to think that Lucia Popp herself would have admired this slightly pacier and pure-voiced rendition of Mozart's beautiful piece. Interesting comparison between two superb voices and interpreters. Related: dominum, emma, kirkby, laudate, lucia, mozart, popp |

Elisabeth Schwarzkopf: Lohengrin, Elsa's Dream Posted by: Glenmed
Video duration: 357 seconds Watched the wonderful Karita Mattila doing this. Was keen to understand better what this music was saying. Schwarzkopf's recording is offered here with German and English subtitles. The English translation is not word-for-word. Instead, I tried to catch the scansion and some of the poetic imagery in Wagner's phrases. If any German speaker can suggest a correction or two, I will be most grateful.
