About
The sublime and moving culmination of Richard Strauss’s love affair with the soprano voice, the Vier letzte Lieder are interpreted by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf with insight, wisdom and gentle radiance. In the early years of his career George Szell was mentored by Richard Strauss himself, and he provides Schwarzkopf with an exquisitely sensitive orchestral context for all sixteen songs in this classic anthology.
