I guess we weren't, but
while I was browsing the Toob, looking for performances by LE, I came across
these three orchestrated versions of Schubert songs. I personally am not that
convinced by these (and other orchestrations) in spite of hearing Anne Sofie
von Otter sing a handful of them live. They somehow don't allow the flexibility I listen for in a voice and piano setting.
LE is quite an interpreter (I've decided
after watching the concert I posted yesterday, that I want to sing under her.
She gets a bit overwrought perhaps, but she is so expressive, and she
communicates effectively with her musicians) and Werner Güra is no slouch
in the Lieder department. Somewhere out there lurks a complete concert with
some more Schubert, and who knows what else!
No one can spin Du bit die Ruh quite like
Miah Persson does,
but WG has no reason to be embarrassed by this rendition.
I want me some overwrought. So glad you're catching the LE bug.
