Elisabeth Schwarzkopf sings "Vilja" from The Merry Widow (Lehar) (excerpt)
From: VAI DVD 4390 Elisabeth Schwarzkopf: A Viennese Evening
For many vocal connoisseurs, Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (1915-2006) represents the pinnacle of imagination, intelligence, and musicianship. This rare 1963 Radio-Canada telecast of an all-Viennese concert she performed with her colleague and friend Willi Boskovsky (1909-1991) provides visible and audible proof of that claim. Booklet includes a reminiscence of Dame Elisabeth by Charles Scribner III.
Includes optional subtitles in English, French, German, and Italian.
B&W, 49 min.

this woman has a very beautiful voice.

Yes! I agree! The moment Elisabeth Schwarzkopf sings, she disappears, and nothing but her role as the interpretor or the composer remains. What I mean is that she places her magnificent artistry in a subservient manner to the credit of the composer.
-
Very interesting to have the image. I am surprised how much she works with her lips and mouth. Of course, glorious voice. Her recording of Richard Strauss' 4 last songs is sublime.
-
I love her!
-
Great voice!!!
-
One of my all-time favorites - since I could hear!!!
-
She gets the grace note on the final high note -- something not many singers are able to do!!!
-
Absolutely wonderful! First saw her in 1964 at the Met (the old one) in the Merry Widow and have been a fan eversince.

Bravo Elisabeth! Such a velvety voice! She has elegance, class, poise, grace, and unparalleled voice. Thanks for posting.

One has to understand the composer and the context of composers' works to fully appreciate and understand ES. Since studying Elisabeth's, Fischer-Dieskau's, and Walter Legge's careers, I feel like an entire new musical world has opened up for me. When I listen to Callas or Sutherland, I hear Callas or Sutherland sing. When I listen to Elisabeth, I hear the composer, the music, and beautiful, prescise singing. In my view, Elisabeth is THE BEST!
