Marian Anderson (remastered): Tod und das Mädchen • Doppelgänger • Erlkönig • Jüngling und das Tod

The legendary contralto Marian Anderson was at her best singing German and Scandinavian lieder, besides her quintessential spiritual repertory, but she was particularly moving and impressive in the lieder by Franz Schubert, in which her refined musicality, solidly dark but still womanly voice, varied colors and dynamics, and great phrasing brought Schubert's highly romantic and often melancholy music to life like few other interpreters. Here you may listen to a wonderful selection of 4 of her best Schubert recordings in improved sound quality: 1) Der Tod und das Mädchen [0:00] 2) Der Doppelgänger [2:47] 3) Erlkönig [6:38] 4) Der Jüngling und das Tod [10:40]
