Review by Oscar June 27, 2005 (1 of 1 found this review helpful)
Performance:   Sonics:    
This is quite an interesting disc, containing not only lesser known lieder by Richard Strauss, but also little known lieder by Bruno Walter and Joseph Marx. The big surprise here are the works by this last composer. Not only good compositions, but affording quite intense renderings of the texts used. By contrast, the Bruno Walter pieces sound lighter, but always interesting and well composed.

Emma Bell, the soprano was, I feel, not properly recorded. Hers is an ample lyrical soprano voice, and at her more expansive moments the voice does not sound comfortable. Although it has a wide range, her emission is not smooth throughout.

The recording sounds to mee a bit to reverberant, giving at times a strange accoustic to the voice and piano.
All in all, an interesting disc, worth exploring for the lesser known works.
