    A Desert Island Collection, Not To Be Missed!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 24, 2016*

The beauty and artistry of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf cannot be argued, and this set does a signal service in collecting all of her recitals and presenting them in the sequence of original release.  Yes, as some have pointed out, this could all have been fitted on a smaller number of CDs, but so what? The price is dirt cheap, and for such riches, Warner Classics' decision must be respected.  The missing texts are another matter, and one to which both Legge and Schwarzkopf would have objected - they were ALL about communication and musical truth.  The original releases all had texts and translations.  The least Warners could do is make these available online.  Better would have been a separate CD-Rom disc, as with the wonderful Callas set, containing all the documentation.  I would happily pay for such a disc, should they care to release one.Still one should be grateful for what is there, and I am.  There are about a dozen of these discs which I would take to a desert island with me, and preferably all of them!  Now, I hope Warner Classics will follow through with its promise to publish Schwarzkopf's early recordings in a set later this year.

    What you actually will receive
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 29, 2016*

This review will depart from the others in that it will focus not on Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, but the set. Her voice and career are not in question; the set, the packging, the booklet, the presentation is. I'll only point out two or three facts. First the majority of these disks have a 39-43 minute running time. The typical modern CD is 65-70 minutes. For some reason (well we know the reason--to make something small look large) Warner did not filll the CDs. The reason is not, by the way, to preserve the integrity of the original release packaging, since that was in fact not maintained. These are not recreations of older "classic" abums, either in the disks or the packaging. The second fact I'd point out is that, for reasons known again only to Warner, the booklet, though handsome, glossy, and beautifully illustrated, says more or less nothing about the music. The essay material (in multiple languages) either talks about ES's life or the history of the recording sessions. Not the recordings themselves, the sessions. The booklet focuses on facts like this or that studio was used, at this or that location, or this person was involved with the recording, in this or that year, working in this or that capacity for Warner, but not the nature, quality, and content of the actual performances. In other words, it gives a history of the studios contracts and connections, not an appreciation of the performances or the pieces themselves. And, finally, to add further injury to insult, no translations of the lyrics (mostly German or Italian) are included. The Lord has ways which mere mortals will never understand. A considerable disappointment on all fronts. Not ES, but the way she has been treated by Warner in this bloated box set.
