Free Music Review: Incomparable lieder singing by any measure
Hit: 5 Stars

In the generation of Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, only Jessye Norman and Thomas Hampson among other Americans could claim to be masterful in singing German lieder, and in many ways she leaves them far behind -- neither was as natural as she is, as unaffected in their approach. Hunt Lieberson had a God-given voice allied with innate musicality and the ability to touch audeinces directly in the heart. For want of a better comparison, she was our Kathleen Ferrer.

The singer exhibits every facet of her art in this live recital from London's Wigmore Hall (their house label released an earlier CD that's equally great), the highlight being Schumann's Frauenliebe und Leben. This account can stand with the very best. But the eight Brahms songs of Op. 57, none of them well known, that begin the recital are also a miracle. Listening to Hunt Lieberson's passionate, emotionally spontaneous readings, you'd never guess that Brahms tends to be stodgy and earnestly Victorian as a lieder composer.

The sound from 1999 is better balanced than on the earlier recording, and Julius Drake provides sensitive accompaniments, rather on the polite side. The second encore is one of H-L's specialities, an aria from Handel's 'Theodora,' to remind us that her untimely death deprived us of a great opera singer as well.

Here's the complete program:

8 Lieder und Gesange op.57 : Von waldbekranzter Hohe / Wenn du nur zuweilen lachelst / Es traumte mir / Ach wende diesen Blick / In meiner Nachte Sehnen / Strahlt zuweilen auch ein mildes Licht / Die Schnur die Perl' an Perle / Unbewegte laue Luft (Brahms). 4 songs from Lieder und Gesange aus Wilhelm Meister op.98a : Kennst du das Land / Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt / Heiss mich nicht reden / So lasst mich scheinen (Schumann). Frauenliebe und -leben op.42 : Seit ich ihn gesehen / Er der Herrlichste von allen / Ich kann's nicht fassen / Du Ring an meinem Finger / Helft mir ihr Schwestern / Suser Freund du blickest / An meinem Herzen an meiner Brust / Nun hast du mir den ersten Schmerz getan (Schumann). ENCORE - Fantoches from Fetes galantes (Debussy). 'Angels ever bright and fair' from Theodora (Handel).
