After Thomas Hampson’s recital disc last month, this will do nicely as a contrasting offering for Strauss’s 150th anniversary. Christiane Karg has not ventured far into Strauss opera so far, but we can tell which roles will suit her best from this thoughtfully varied programme of songs. The demure, light touch of ‘Leises Lied’ provides a glimpse of her Sophie (she started the year with Der Rosenkavalier for Flanders Opera) and her capricious singing in ‘Ich wollt ein Sträusslein binden’ is surely a Zerbinetta in the making.

The disc intersperses some of the best known Strauss songs with a generous handful of rarer items. There is a danger that a solo recital will become tiring when a soprano voice is consistently on the bright side but Karg softens the tone where she can – a silvery shimmer of moonlight is cast over ‘Die Nacht’, though ‘Traum durch die Dämmerung’ lacks the sunset glow it needs. In general, Karg and Malcolm Martineau are reluctant to linger, keeping ‘Morgen’ under four minutes and ‘Befreit’ just under five, so everything stays light and fluent, playing to the singer’s strengths. It is good to have the rarely heard ‘Alphorn’, with its solo horn obbligato (Felix Klieser), and towards the end Karg paints a vivid portait in the three half-crazed Ophelia Lieder. A rewarding disc, though there are some great Strauss sopranos of the past – Janowitz, Price, Norman – also beckoning from the wings.
