Elisabeth Schwarzkopf.DESERT ISLAND DISCS.1958.LONDON. Chooses music.Walter Legge.

Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf.Operatic and lieder soprano.1915-2006. One of the Greats of the 20th Century.
Short quote from her Obituary in The Gramophone Magazine:
.".....Along with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Schwarzkopf spearheaded a new approach to Lieder interpretation, placing great emphasis on the text but balancing it with shading of greatly subtlety. She formed part of an unofficial ‘company’ of singers who recorded extensively in the early years of the LP and stereo.
Her recordings were invariably produced by her husband Walter Legge, and many of them are considered classics: the Mozart Da Ponte operas, Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier, Ariadne auf Naxos and Capriccio as well as his Four Last Songs, and numerous discs of Lieder by Schubert and Hugo Wolf....."
