RIP Elisabeth Schwarzkopf

Whatever criticisms may be made of her continuing to perform under the Nazis, her voice was MAGNIFICENT!! Her recordings of Richard Strauss's Vier Letzte Lieder are of an unearthly beauty.

Agreed; wonderful voice, at times seeming to be totally and literally out of this world. But just how conceited can you be without distorting your art, or at least the public's perception of it?.

Remember, this woman chose more of her own disks for Desert Island Discs than any other artist in the history of the programme.
