Schwarzkopf, Elisabeth
Born Dec. 9, 1915, in Jarotschin, near Poznań. German singer (soprano). Schwarzkopf received her musical education at the Higher Music School in Berlin and studied voice under M. Ivagün. She made her debut in 1938 at the Berlin Municipal Opera, and from 1942 to 1951 she was a leading soloist at the Vienna State Opera. In 1948 she began to perform on the major operatic stages of Europe and America and regularly took part in the Salzburg and Bayreuth festivals. She moved to London in 1951, and for a number of years she was a soloist at Covent Garden. She left the stage in the mid-1970’s, continuing to perform in concert and to make records. Schwarzkopf has an exceptionally versatile and pure voice of great beauty. She is also known for her sense of style and uncommon dramatic skills. She is an outstanding performer of the works of Mozart and R. Strauss. REFERENCERubin, M. “Tri portreta.” In Sovetskaia muzyka, 1962, no. 4.Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | As it happens, a great many opera-conscious people knew back in the mid 1950s, when Walton's major operatic opus had its successful premiere at Covent Garden, crossed the Atlantic to San Francisco and turned up in abridged form on Angel Records with no less a soprano than Elisabeth Schwarzkopf stabbing herself over her murdered inamorata's corpse. There are performances here of sonatas by Grieg, Krenek, Sibelius, Hindemith and Richard Strauss, as well as Hindemith's sonatas for brass and piano, and Strauss's melodrama Enoch Arden, with the actor Claude Raines as the reciter - though, curiously, that disc does not include the three Ophelia Songs Gould recorded with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf with which it was at one time coupled. These range from that most serene of sopranos, Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, to that most undiplomatic of diplomats, the acerbic Jeanne Kirkpatrick, as well as the great economist, Milton Friedman, the much under-rated US President Gerald Ford and the reclusive novelist, Dame Muriel Spark. |
