The City of Melbourne Song Recital Award was created by the late Mietta O'Donnell and Tony Knox out of concern for the diminishing numbers of practitioners and audiences for art song.

This disc presents Louise Page with pianist Phillipa Candy in a programme of Richard Strauss songs. It moves from early works such as Die Nacht, Zueignung and Allerseelen through the lyrical Op. 48 cycle to the Ophelia songs and the late Fünf kleine Lieder.

Reviews

For lovers of Strauss Lieder this is a CD that should not be missed.

The singing throughout is beautifully lyrical, firmly shaped with fine tonal control over the wide vocal range the songs demand, and with a notable expressive coloration of their differing moods and dynamics ... this is a disc to enchant and delight any lover of German lied.

Richard Strauss

composer

Richard Strauss wrote Lieder of lyrical sweep and romantic intensity: songs that bloom with wide vocal lines, shifting moods and the glow of late-Romantic harmony. His pages ask for firm shape, fine tonal control and real expressive colour.
