Sabine Devieilhe - Lieder von Mozart & Strauss

"Breathtaking and dew-covered" - Sabine Devieilhe's album with songs by Mozart and R. Strauss richard Strauss believed that he could hear "revelations of the deepest soul of the world" in the melodies of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The late Romantic composer was one of Mozart's greatest admirers during his lifetime. And if you listen carefully, you can also hear Mozart's lightness in the music of Richard Strauss. On her album Mozart - R. Strauss - Lieder, soprano Sabine Devieilhe combines works by both composers. As so often, the French singer is accompanied by pianist Mathieu Pordoy. The well-rehearsed team had already devoted a song recital to the two composers in 2022 at London's Wigmore Hall. "A breathtaking soprano", which made the songs seem "dew-covered", wrote The Spectator afterwards. Sabine Devieilhe chose a variety of songs for her album, for example Mozart's mischievous piece Das Veilchen and his elegiac Abendempfindung. And in Richard Strauss' probably most famous song Morgen, the composer intertwines the soprano with a soulful violin part. Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang makes a guest appearance here.
