Rita Streich's voice has to be heard to be believed. Her fresh tone and light touch is a delight. Many times on this stunning CD has her sailing up to top notes which almost defy vocal gravity! Of special note is Saint Saens' 'Nightingale and the Rose' where the voice is the wordless song bird and the orchestra plays sumptuously as the rose. Her version of the 'Song to the Moon' from 'Rusalka' is still one of our favourites. It's a shame that she was renowned as being a difficult singer indeed, one particularly mild mannered conductor, after making a recording with her, refused to ever work with her again. The recordings are forward and bright and, although some of the recordings are in Mono, the balance between the soloist and orchestra is excellent. This CD is frequently played - and, if you purchase it, you will understand why.
