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).
What is fascinating about this is that ES quite possibly attended this recording session. There is a famous picture of them sitting together at about this time.

Customarily the Third of Richard Strauss's Four Last Songs. 1965 recording with Georg Szell and the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra - Schwarzkopf was 50.
There are so many wonderful renditions of these songs. On the advice of more than one fellow YouTuber I obtained and also uploaded the performance of this by Lucia Popp with the Philharmonia under Klaus Tennstedt.

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.

"Mariettalied" from "Die tote Stadt" by Erich Wolfgang Korngold 1897-1957.
Recorded in 1924.
Lehmann was a role model for Schwarzkopf. Schwarzkopf was a role model for Renee Fleming. Fleming has a very nice version of Mariettalied. Life moves on.

The video of Stella and MDM doing this finale in the mid 1950s shows that she was a very fine stage presence. That and this audio show that she was also well capable of holding her own vocally with both of these magnificent tenors.

Audio Only. Fritz Wunderlich tragically died 1966, aged 36, from head injuries sustained from a fall on steps at a hunting lodge. He left us some of the finest tenor singing ever recorded (almost all in German). Too sad that we were denied more.
