Elizabeth Schwarzkopf JS Bach Cantata № 51 (1.Aria. 2.Recitativo) BWV 51.wmv

The tempo is too fast for everyone. I realize she is a wonderful singer ... for certain types of music. Her continuous vibrato is distracting and makes the whole thing sound sloppy. Try ny_l3ML1GfM (for some vibrato), _OECqantiWA (slower tempo), or Lhju4Ad_LBs (live). Many like Kirkby/Gardiner but I can't find it here.

@angryjalapeno Her voice takes us for a solo instrument like. Vocalist as instrumentalist phenomenon is extremely rare and only available to very few singers I know of only one more singer in this capacity.

Elisabeth Schwarzkopf may be superb; but the fact is that she would have benetifed from a very slightly slower tempo; and of course the trumpet soloist is, by modern standards, atroicious. I would very much like to know who it is; together with the date of the recording. Must have been before 1963, when Maurice André appeared on the trumpet scene and blasted every one else off stage for many years...

@barliman2001

Date of record is not specified, but there is a note: archival record. Shellac was purchased by me until 1961. I guess this recording Bolsheviks took as booty after World War II in Germany or Austria. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf great skill allows discussion of proposals to improve performance only in person with her.

What a discovery. I have also found a modern digital remastered recording of this generally available. Let us not forget that incredible performance with von K of the b minor mass, probably recorded about the same time. Schwarzkopf was excellent in roles besides the fluff.

Thanks very much vladi565, maybe I gushed a bit on my post but I was so excited to find this recording, I never thought Schwarzkopf recorded this piece, very thankful my friend.

[vladi565]

@Cancrizans No doubt, your concerns are appropriate and justified, the main thing that you have found this video and I wish a lot of pleasure from her audition.

[Cancrizans]

This is an incredible contribution you have made to humanity by posting this. I have to ask, did she record the rest of this cantata? I imagine mortals would feint to hear her sing the "hochster mache deine gute" but I can't find it anywhere!

[vladi565]

@Cancrizans Continuation of this cantata can be found in a video response to this video. The answer to your second question, I do not know.

[Cancrizans]

@vladi565 unfortunately I don't know what that means, as far as video response and all, it is my fault no doubt because I am pretty inept at using Youtube overall hehe, my niece makes me look stupid every time she comes over anyway. Anyway I was looking for a video response but can't find one can you point me in the right direction?

[vladi565]

@Cancrizans Correct direction indicated in a personal letter i have sent to you.
