Against received opinion I would choose Schwarzkopf’s 1953 account of the Four Last Songs (EMI, 4/88) as my ‘Great Recording’, more easily voiced, more natural, less mannered. No, the great performances come in Ruhe, meine Seele, which has never sounded more interior and impassioned, the much-recorded Morgen, which has had few such poised, vibrant, easeful interpretations, and Wiegenlied, a reading on a par with Elisabeth Schumann’s (EMI, 4/93) and Schafer’s (DG, 4/98 – best of all, perhaps in being less self-conscious). Szell’s perceptive conducting of Strauss’s own orchestrations is an added treat.'
