Author: Alan Blyth
I enjoyed this Mozart recital much more than the recent Richard Strauss record from the same singer (ETC1028, 7/85). Her voice, as there, is in fresh and attractive state, the tone rounded, the production easy, but now she makes much more of the texts. Yet while pointing her words in both German and Italian, she never resorts to self-indulgent effects; everything is naturally achieved. Above all she shows a joy in singing. In the more serious pieces, Abendempfindung, the piece where Luise burns the letters of her unfaithful lover, and Ridente la calma, she taps a deeper vein of expression without overloading the line with any unwanted pouts. Where her recital overlaps with that by Jill Gomez on Saga (SAGA5441, 6/77) in almost all respects I prefer Alexander's fuller-voiced versions. She also gains points for introducing to the catalogue one late song, Im Fruhlingsanfang, no masterpiece but none the less welcome, and one early song, Die Alte, but loses some for singing the latter in the kind of crone's voice used by the Papagenas before their transformation.
The performances are enhanced by the contributions of Glen Wilson. He opts for a fortepiano, a pleasing instrument that he plays with charming resource. As the recording and balance are both excellent, this is obviously a record that should delight many buyers. Only half a dozen of the songs are, perhaps, first-rate Mozart, but none needs to be despised.'
