If anyone wants to know why [livejournal.com profile] shezan and I are so gutted at the loss of the great Elisabeth Schwarzkopf I urge you to either pick up the little sample pack that I have put together or any of the files that are referenced in the comments to my earlier post.

The sampler contains:
  • Come scoglio from the 1962 recording of Cosi Fan Tutte with Karl Bohm
  • Porgi, Amor, Dove sono and Gente, gente (the final scene) from the 1959 Giulini recording of Le Nozze di Figaro.

    All files are .mp3 and contained in a single .zip archive.

Raise you one Offenbach!

I'm enjoying listening to the music, but suddenly wondered whether Gershwin had Porgi, Amor in mind when he wrote I loves you, Porgy.

Who knows? In the current context I can only say "I loves you Bess".

My recordings of Cosi fan tutte and Le Nozze both feature Schwarzkopf - both fantastic.

Oh *God*. Her "Dove sono" just ruins me. Always has.
