[f_minor] Gould/Schwarzkopf/Strauss : the unauthorized recordings

[Brett Allen-Bayes]

Yes I've often longed for the eventual release of the rest of the Strauss
lieder done in '66 with Schwarzkopf. In fact many years ago I wrote to her
about this and she promptly replied, sending a photocopied article from a
Swiss magazine Du which she felt covered everything that she had to say on
this matter.

There is a small snippet from Morgen in Michael Stegemann's 3CD Portrait of
Gould and whilst it's fun, every once in a while to play voyeur, I don't
know how much would be gained by listening to recording over which two
eminent musicians argued. Mind you, now that Betty Blackhead (as Barry
Humphries rather endearingly called her) has passed on, I'm sure that many
of us would happily pay SONY for this rather guilty pleasure.

Hi f-minors,


As you know, GG and Schwarzkopf have recorded seven lieder of Richard
Strauss together (NY 1966). Only three of them have been released (the
"Ophelia-Lieder", op. 67) : unfortunately, E. Scwharzkopf has not given
permission to release the four remaining songs ("Heimliche Aufforderung",
op. 27 No. 3, "Morgen" op. 27 No. 4, "Winterweihe" op. 48 No. 4 and "Wer
lieben will, muss leiden", op. 49 No. 7).
Since Mrs Schwarzkopf is know. dead, is there anybody who knows if there is
any chance to hear these probably priceless recordings. or will we miss them
forever ?

Best wishes,

Steve Balboa.
