5.0 out of 5 stars One of the C20th Most Endearing Singers., 2 Feb 2001
By John Austin "austinjr@bigpond.net.au" (Kangaroo Ground, Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Rita Streich (1920-1987) enriched the annals of recorded music more than any other coloratura soprano of the C20th. Fluent in many languages, and well-coached by several eminent singers, she had a voice with a recognisable "colour". Naturally vivacious and charming herself, she could range successfully into deeper emotional expressiveness. As she explained in an interview, "the difficulty every coloratura encounters is to be expressive with a voice of restricted size and colour". Listen to the Dvorak aria here (Track 7) to see how well she overcame this difficulty.

In this well-filled CD, produced by a son of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, are found recordings originally issued on three LPs in the 1950s. There are some bravura coloratura items featuring a very secure trill, some rarities, and favourites new and old. The sound quality is first-rate. Texts are not included in the liner notes, instead there is a biographical appreciation printed in German, French, English and Italian.

As a footnote, I shall reveal that this delightful artist's fluency in English lapsed slightly on one occasion when she was giving a radio interview in Australia. While discussing the many components of opera production, and intending to say something about the stage lighting, she said, "Of course, very special effects can be obtained in opera houses by lightning".

4.0 out of 5 stars Vocalises, 5 Jun 2003
By A Customer
Most listeners in the digital age will want to compare these recordings with Natalie Dessay's Vocalises recital on EMI which includes the Strauss, Alabiev, Saint-Saens and Dell'Aqua numbers. Voice for voice Streich and Dessay are both fine canaries so sound quality is perhaps more relevant. But the DG CD compares quite well, even in the mono tracks, although, as mentioned below, the lack of texts lets the reputation of the DG Originals series down badly. Incidentally the DG insert booklet claims that these were released from 3 "LPs", where as in fact it appears that the then popular Czernik and Marchesi numbers were released as A side and B side of a 45. (The texts for these two canzonette are not on the Lieder Homepage either so if anyone has them..?)
