Hjördis Schymberg - Hjördis Schymberg Soprano
Review by Ben Girven
The album "Hjördis Schymberg Soprano" by Hjördis Schymberg is a beautiful collection of classical songs that showcase the soprano's incredible vocal range and emotional depth. The album features a mix of well-known arias from operas such as Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" and Puccini's "Madame Butterfly," as well as lesser-known pieces from Scandinavian composers like Wilhelm Stenhammar and Hugo Alfvén.
Schymberg's voice is stunning throughout the album, with a clear, pure tone that soars effortlessly through even the most challenging passages. She brings a real sense of drama and emotion to each piece, whether it's the heart-wrenching "Un bel dì vedremo" from "Madame Butterfly" or the playful "Ach, ich fühl's" from Mozart's "The Magic Flute."
The album is beautifully recorded, with a rich, warm sound that showcases Schymberg's voice to its full potential. The accompanying orchestra, conducted by Herbert Blomstedt, is equally impressive, providing a lush, full-bodied sound that perfectly complements Schymberg's singing.
