A Great Singer
For reasons that will always mystify me, Schwarzkopf (in this country, at least) has been a controversial figure. Although those who do not regard her highly are quick to point out that it is the singing that turns them off. In actuality I feel it is the political aspects of her career that Americans are simply unable to come to terms with. To be up front I adored her from the very first disc ...

A wonderful overview of an extraordinary soprano
This DVD gives you a unique opportunity to see Mrs Elizabeth Schwarzkopf in some of her best live performances as an opera singer and a Lieder interpreter. I have always been curious about how she could look on scene, given that I am of her more fervent admirers. My veneration for Mrs Schwarzkopf began when I first heard her singing the role of Donna Elvira in the Giulini's version of Don ...

Powerful
This is the best documentary ever made about the Vietnam war. They scored an impressive 100% accuracy rating on the facts that I checked. The presentation is low key and visually subtle. The director does not hit you over the head with how clever he is, but each interview, each picture adds to the whole, making a very powerful point. No matter what your preconceptions about the Vietnam War, this ...

Five stars isn't enough for this wonderful DVD
I am so grateful that this treasure has been unearthed from the vaults and made available. Production values are minimal, but the art is superlative and the enchantment, complete. There is no trace of kitsch here. Madame Schwarzkopf brings enormous charm and conviction to these operetta arias; there is nothing arch, condescending or precious in her delivery. Her radiant voice is a treat to ...

Better late than never
I have never been a Schwarzkopf fan and for the past 18 years preferred Régine Crespin's Marschallin (on Decca), even in the complete Solti recording, where her voice allegedly was in decline (critics are always happy to point out these imperfections). I also never warmed up to Otto Edelmann's Baron Ochs, and felt his timbre gives the role a cunning/evil twist rather than a comic one (I prefer ...

A review from Queensland, Australia.
This DVD is a treasure. Elizabeth Schwarkopf is first heard in a selection from Der Rosenklavier. An arresting, captivating wonderful performance. Irmgard Seefried sings 5 of Strauss's songs, including "Morgen" & "Wiegenlied". Her beautiful voice,vocal technique & dancing eyes bring the songs vividly to life. Dietrich Fischer Dieskau performs 4 Mahler songs & a Bonus of 4 Schubert songs,including ...
