W. A. MOZART / RICHARD STRAUSS
Mozart & Strauss: Lieder
Sabine Devieilhe (soprano), Mathieu Pordoy (piano), with Vilde Frang (violin)
[ Erato / Warner Classics / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 3 May 2024
Richard Strauss considered Mozart to be "the most sublime of all composers". On this disc, French soprano Sabine Devieilhe, with pianist Mathieu Pordoy, presents a programme of Mozart and Strauss' most exquisite Lieder. Highlights include Mozart's 'Abendempfindung', 'Oiseaux, si tous les ans', and 'An Chloe', alongside Strauss' 'Wiegenlied', 'Mädchenblumen', 'Morgen!', and others. When Devieilhe and Pordoy recently performed Mozart and Strauss at London's Wigmore Hall, The Spectator wrote of a "heart-stopping soprano" who made the songs "sound dewy-fresh". Devieilhe and Pordoy will return to Wigmore Hall with this programme in April.
"Devieilhe and Pordoy's interpretations of Strauss's Ständchen and In Schwebe, and Mozart's Das Veilchen are among the countless delights here, radiating purity, clarity and musicality" Sunday Times
"Devieilhe imbues each song with a sense of theatrical presence, without ever succumbing to melodrama. Take for instance, Mozart's "Das Kinderspiel" (Track 3). Here, Devieilhe masterfully captures the playful innocence of a child at play, with touches of yawning and amusement woven into the delivery. The inclusion of her young son's voice at the song's end adds a delightful touch of authenticity." Classic Review
