*Bruno Seidler-Winkler was the music director of the Gramophone Company’s Berlin operation beginning in 1903. After the German branch split from the English company, he continued to work for Deutsche Grammophon until 1923. During these twenty-one years, he served as accompanist and conductor for virtually all of the recordings made by the company in Berlin. It is presumed, therefore, that unless a pianist is otherwise known to have accompanied a particular recording, Bruno Seidler-Winkler is the likely pianist or conductor.

Richard Strauss: Selected Lieder Recordings 1901-1946

COMPLETE TRACK LISTING
LINER NOTES

Richard Strauss›s (1864–1949) acceptance into the pantheon of great Lieder composers began in the early 1950s, perhaps marked by the enthusiastic reception of his Four Last Songs, premiered by Kirsten Flagstad eight months after Strauss’s death. It wasn’t long before these songs became widely performed, and by extension, his Lieder as a whole, began to gain greater acceptance as high art along with Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, and Wolf. This compilation concentrates on Strauss Lieder recordings from an earlier era that display the sort of vocal charm and straightforward approach to the music not usually heard in today’s style of Lieder singing. Many of these recordings are extremely important historic documents retaining their position as the definitive versions of Strauss Lieder. Some of the singers included here not only knew Strauss, but worked with him, and their recordings could have been heard and judged by him. This three CD-set contains forty songs in eighty-two performances by fifty-seven singers.
