Review by Matilde Lazzari

Irmgard Seefried Sings Ave Maria, Mariä Wiegenlied, Das Schlafende Jesuskind – A Timeless Gem Alright, let’s talk about this little treasure from 1959. Irmgard Seefried’s Ave Maria, Mariä Wiegenlied, Das Schlafende Jesuskind is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. It’s not flashy or loud—it’s just pure, understated beauty. If classical music had a cozy corner by the fireplace, this would be it. First off, props to Deutsche Grammophon and Bertelsmann Schallplattenring for putting this out. The sound quality holds up surprisingly well even today, which says something since most recordings from back then can feel kinda dated. And Erik Werba on piano? Dude’s playing is so smooth it feels like he’s whispering secrets to your soul instead of just hitting keys. Now, onto the tracks. There are only three here, but wow—they pack a punch. Let me tell ya why “Mariä Wiegenlied” stuck with me. This piece is basically Mary singing her baby Jesus to sleep, and Seefried’s voice? Oh man, it’s like honey dripping over warm bread. She doesn’t belt it out; she lets the melody breathe, soft and tender, as if she’s afraid of waking the sleeping kid herself. You don’t hear voices like that anymore—so genuine and heartfelt. It’s the kind of thing that makes you stop scrolling through your phone mid-album because you’re too busy feeling all the feels. Then there’s “Ave Maria (Jungfrau Mild).” Yeah, yeah, everyone’s heard an Ave Maria at some point, right? But this version hits different. Maybe it’s how simple it feels. No crazy acrobatics, no overpowering orchestra—just Seefried and Werba keeping it real. Her tone is so clear and calm, it’s almost meditative. Like, close your eyes while listening, and suddenly you’re standing in some ancient cathedral somewhere in Germany, sunlight streaming through stained glass windows. Not bad for a Tuesday evening playlist addition! The last track, “Das Schlafende Jesuskind,” keeps the vibe going strong. Honestly, though, after “Mariä Wiegenlied,” my brain was already mush. These songs aren’t meant to blow you away—they’re more like a gentle reminder of how powerful quiet moments can be. So yeah, this album might not change your life overnight, but it’s got staying power. In a world where everything’s gotta scream for attention, these tracks remind you that sometimes whispering works better. Plus, knowing this came out in 1959 gives it extra charm. Back then, people weren’t chasing trends—they were making music that mattered. Oh, and random thought: if angels actually exist, they probably sound a lot like Irmgard Seefried. Just saying.
