About This Item
Schubert's unforgettable characterizations of women Gretchen, Suleika, Mignon, Ellen and Delphine are the subject of this CD, devoted to exploring Schubert's homage to Inchdas ewig-WeiblicheInch, Goethe's expression for the eternally feminine. Soprano Martha Guth and fortepianist Penelope Crawford present these unique portraits with insight and sympathy, enhanced by the use of a magnificent original fortepiano by the great Viennese maker, Conrad Graf. The American singer, Ms. Guth here makes her CD debut in the good company of Ms. Crawford, one of America's leading fortepianists.
