Super soprano Jeannette van Schaik together with one of the finest pianists for song repertoire Peter Nilsson, bring their duo debut “Elysium” at 7 Mountain Records! And the result is just plain heavenly. Which actually is what we were aiming for, because the connecting line on this album is this divine and mystical place, which the Old Greek called… “Elysium”. Be prepared for a colourful, fairy-like but also at times very robust and intense musical journey through the quite unknown music by Ottorino Respighi, Erich Wolfgang Korngold and more familiar (epic) songs by Richard Strauss. Lush acoustics, never any shortage of vocal power and piano resonance, sit back and let this one submerge you.

German soprano Dorothea Herbert submerged herself into the quietness we’ve all encountered during the COVID lockdowns. Society became to a full stop, an of course tragic time but also one that offered introspection. “Die stille Stadt” gives musical expression to that and became an album with a radiating program consisting of music by the unfortunately still underrated Alma Mahler, two breathtaking song cycles by Erich Wolfgang Korngold (including the famous aria Gl”uck, das mir verblieb from Die tote Stadt), completed by a selection of very powerful and illustrative songs by Franz Schreker. The piano part is taken care of by the legendary Peter Nilsson. “Die stille Stadt” is an album that will move many lovers of vocal recitals, due to it’s resonant and exclusive musical character with not too often heard repertoire.
