I just hope you'll like it. I don't know whether I'm in line with Albert regarding suggestions for your singing, and I have no implication in any sense (ha!), but it's always good to listen to something different...Thanks Kuno for the birthday gift~ Elisabeth Schumann is a sweet and warm voiced light lirico soprano. Her bright, vibrant and charming rendition is not a bit lost thru these old recordings dated at least 50 years ago. Her German is expressive and clear as in 'Die Forelle.' I think I heard that Heidenroeslein melody in primary school years ago ;-) A little surprise that she debut on stage in a Wagner role; noting this she may also have a large voice in an auditorium.
KL seem to be making the same advice with Albert to me: do more lieders, hear more sopranos, take less Puccinis, lighten your voice...
These old old vocal recordings are really treasures, which one can hear the last traces of 19th Century singing, and they offer some very interesting insights. I think many sopranos then had very very sweet and charming voice in Lieder singing, and I think no singers today would process such quality, though they could be technically much more perfect.
Wish you many nice years ahead.
