Description
Profil are delighted to announce the release of a disc to commemorate the life of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, who died at the age of ninety in early August 2006. Schwarzkopf was acclaimed worldwide as one of the greatest singers of the twentieth century. She made musical and interpretational history and exerted great influence upon musical life. A legend in her own lifetime, she was celebrated by connoisseurs as an idol of the singer's art. \Radiant was an adjective applied frequently to Elisabeth Schwarzkopf by critics and others. It was used with justification. The word well described the famed and inimitable Schwarzkopf interpretations of certain heroines in Strauss operas, such as the Marschallin in 'Der Rosenkavalier' (The Times)""
