About
Richard Strauss considered Mozart to be “the most sublime of all composers”. On this disc, French soprano Sabine Devieilhe, with pianist Mathieu Pordoy, presents a programme of Mozart and Strauss’ most exquisite Lieder. Highlights include Mozart’s ‘Abendempfindung’, ‘Oiseaux, si tous les ans’, and ‘An Chloe’, alongside Strauss’ ‘Wiegenlied’, ‘Mädchenblumen’, ‘Morgen!’, and others. When Devieilhe and Pordoy recently performed Mozart and Strauss at London’s Wigmore Hall, The Spectator wrote of a “heart-stopping soprano” who made the songs “sound dewy-fresh”. Devieilhe and Pordoy will return to Wigmore Hall with this programme in April.

May 2024
Long a natural Mozart singer, Devieilhe has acquired a more Straussian depth of tone while maintaining her trademark clarity that also reveals her great comprehension of the music.
29th March 2024
Pordoy and Devieilhe both do a wonderful job of emphasising the kinship between Mozart and Strauss’s approach to song-making, bringing an almost Classical clarity and elegance to the earlier Strauss Lieder and subtly spotlighting the harmonic surprises in Mozart songs like Einsamkeit and Abendempfindung...All in all, this is a very special song-recital indeed, remarkable as much for Pordoy’s contribution as for Devieilhe’s.
31st March 2024
Devieilhe and Pordoy’s interpretations of Strauss’s Ständchen and In Schwebe, and Mozart’s Das Veilchen are among the countless delights here, radiating purity, clarity and musicality.
