A glorious artist,whom I was privileged to see 5 times.She gave me a signed photograph which I had framed and has ppride of place.No other artist(and I have seen many)could command an audience like this remarkable diva,The greatest lieder singer and artist I have ever seen.
It is so lovely to see Elisabeth Schwarzkopf looking so relaxed and spontaneous. She introduces her songs and as she does so steps effortlessly into the character of the piece. To hear her accompanied by Gerald Moore is a treat indeed. Here are two of the finest recitalists of the 20th century at work.

Can there ever be a better pairing than these two wonderful people?,boy can she sing. Boy can he play piano. A few of today's imposters would be well served to listen to this.
Une inondation de bonheur...joie et bien être avec Elizabeth au saut du lit. Merci à cette femme exceptionnelle qui doit bien évidemment se trouver au paradis.
My dad used to talk to me about Elizabeth a lot as he sang with her outside of Denver in the Merry Widow. This was around 1936. After all these years I finally am able to see and hear her sing.

By the time this was filmed, ES had more or less put her operatic career on the back burner as it were. Fortunately for us she continued to give lieder recitals and in Southern California we were lucky in the amount of performances she gave. They were glorious evenings. Very few artists devote much of their career to this repertoire, but ES was schooled in it from the very beginning, notably when she trained with the great Ivogun and the recitals (actually radio broadcasts) accompanied by her husband.
@@SingerGeneLeonard I’m not the original poster, but as it seems they have gone absent I will attempt to answer your question: Everything being relative, no, her voice was not big. She sung mostly (light) lyric soprano roles in opera, mostly Mozart. There are a few rare (usually early) recordings of her singing things like Madam Butterfly and Konstanze, and while she doesn’t do a bad job with them, you can sort of tell there’s a bit of a strain there, and she probably wisely eschewed these roles later on to prolong her career. However, unlike some who only sing the lighter, lyrical roles she apparently had no problem being heard over the orchestra. Rather than volume and “body”, she had a sort of piercing resonance that “pinged” her voice throughout the hall. (Forgive my fumbling about for proper words as I’m obviously no expert, just sort of flailing about as an amateur. But hopefully I am still able to convey my meaning.)
@@SingerGeneLeonard The recording level has been screwed up; I have he DVD and it is nothing like this. When she sang in LA it was in a 6000 seat barn called Shrine Hall which is where the SF opera performed when they make their trek to LA. I was there for every one except the Bartered Bride which I didn't see because it was in English. I had no trouble hearing regardless of where I sat. Fortunately her recitals were given in smaller halls.
Lob des hohen Verstands is NOT easy to sing. Lots of leaps and a range of over two octaves. She does omit the cuckoo's high note at the end.....which tells me she was an intelligent singer......if you know you don't have it.....don't do it and pretend everything is just fine.

Thank you, very much for uploading this marvelous video! ES is such a wonder, so delicate, artistic and heavenly beautiful soprano voice!
they both are so sweet! Can't stop watching! They seem to be good friends. Many thanks to them for their art.
Tears almost flew down my cheeks at "Da unten im Tale". What lyrics, what music, what an interpretation!
THAT’s what television should be used for!
AMEN!

Zwei musikalische Jahrhunderttalente in Höchstform - ein tolles Dokument, Danke, für's teilen !
Oh, how beautiful is this ... and seeing the softer side of Elisabeth
Sublime! Un'artista stupenda. Adoro Elisabeth Schwarzkopf
Merci beaucoup pour le partage de cette absolu joyau! Ces deux interprètes se font et nous font plaisir avec émerveillement!
Une inondation de bonheur...joie et bien être avec Elizabeth au saut du lit.

What an Enchantress. Astonishing.

Was the voice big?? It sounds it carried.

Such an elegant lady, she was. She spoke English cleaner and more grammatically correct than many first language English speakers. Lol
This is music
Taped around 1969.
Tks...
charming
Cosa sarebbe il mondo senza Schubert
I love Schumann and Brahms too... 😃
Maravilhosa...
la "serenata inutile" di Brahms a 22.58 con le due voci è insuperabile, che dea la Elisabeth
Hermosa Dama con una preciosa voz❤
Großartig!!!
A goddess.
