Dutch soprano Elly Ameling is one of the most celebrated performers of her generation. Known as an accomplished Lieder singer, her career spanned 40 years and saw performances in virtually every major concert venue across the world. She was particularly appreciated for her recitals of French and German song, and her recordings received many awards in their time, including the coveted Grand Prix du Disque and Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik. This release features an historic live recording made in 1987 at the famous Tanglewood Center in Massachusetts. The intimate venue allows a certain proximity between the listener and performer that tends to be lacking in larger concert halls, creating a perfect atmosphere for Schubert’s intimate Lieder. Here, Ameling has selected a number of Schubert’s songs, some well known and some slightly more obscure, with the dramatic extremes of emotion showcasing a variety of colours and timbres in her wonderfully warm voice.
