Review by Agustín Etchebarne

Elisabeth Schumann Sings Richard Strauss & Hugo Wolf – A Raw, Unfiltered Take Alright, let’s get real for a second. This album? It’s not your run-of-the-mill classical snoozefest. Elisabeth Schumann doesn’t just sing—she punches you in the soul with her soprano vocals. Backed by heavy hitters like Richard Strauss and Hugo Wolf, this record is an emotional rollercoaster that’ll leave you breathless—or pissed off if you’re not ready for it. First off, let’s talk about “Morgen.” Oh man, this track hits different. Strauss wrote it, but Schumann makes it hers. The way she stretches those notes—it’s like time stops. You can almost feel the sunrise creeping over the horizon as she sings. But here’s the kicker: it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. There’s this underlying tension, like she knows something you don’t. And honestly? That’s what sticks with me. Not some fluffy melody, but the raw emotion behind every damn word. Then there’s “Nimmersatte Liebe” by Hugo Wolf. Holy crap, does this one slap or what? From the first note, Schumann grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. Her voice dances between tender and ferocious, making you question whether love is worth all the drama. Spoiler alert: probably not. What gets me is how she flips from soft whispers to full-blown power moments without missing a beat. It’s chaotic, beautiful, and kinda exhausting—but isn’t that what love feels like anyway? Now, I gotta say, this album ain’t perfect. Some tracks drag on longer than they need to (looking at you, “Wiegenlied”), and yeah, the pacing could use a kick in the pants. But when Schumann nails it—and trust me, she nails it more often than not—you won’t care about any of that. She brings so much fire to these songs that even the slower ones feel alive. Here’s the thing: listening to this album feels like stepping into another world. One minute you’re vibing with modern flair, the next you’re drowning in old-school romantic vibes. It’s messy, unpredictable, and kinda genius. Like life itself. And hey, here’s a weird thought to leave you with: if aliens ever landed and asked us to explain human emotions through music, we could do worse than handing them this album. Just saying.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s an interesting fact: Elisabeth Schumann’s album *Sings* is a beautiful blend of works by two iconic composers, Richard Strauss and Hugo Wolf. What makes it special is how it captures the essence of both Modern and Romantic styles in one record. The UK release under World Records highlights her incredible soprano vocals. Fun detail—Wolf’s playful yet poignant *Mausfallensprüchlein* (Mouse Trap Song) sits alongside Strauss’ dreamy *Morgen*. It’s like a musical journey through emotions, all tied together by Schumann’s voice.
