Elisabeth Schwarzkopf - Glenn Gould - Richard Strauss Ophelia Lieder, Op. 67: Three songs after William Shakespeare N. 1 « Wie erkenn'ich mei Traulieb? » N. 2 « Guten Morgen, 's ist Sankt Valentinstag » N. 3 « Sie trugen ihn auf der Bahre bloB »
Well M.of course I kept and pondered those emails...Gould who upset Elizabeth Schwarzkopf by gauchely rejecting the bourgeois view of what Strauss songs should be (i.e. world-weary celebrations - presumably due to the texts - of late Romantic anguish...FIRE!!! Dominique Strauss Kahn....What's in a name one cannot help but wonder? Real music.
I gather that Gould kept improvising throughout these sessions and, when challenged, insisted that this was the way Strauss meant to write it! In the long run these were the only ones which were published but aren't they splendid?
Both of them wonderful!
