	Why Me? - Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, who has died aged 90, was a lyric soprano whose aristocratic purity of tone and attention to detail made her the supreme female exponent of the songs of Strauss and Wolf and produced some of the most authoritative operatic performances of the postwar era.
		Olga Maria Elisabeth Frederike Schwarzkopf was born to highly-educated Prussian parents on 9 December 1915 at Jarocin, Poland, and sang her first operatic role, Eurydice in Gluck's Orfeo, as a schoolgirl in Magdeburg.
		Schwarzkopf was matched only by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in her superb articulation of German texts; unfortunately, like the great baritone, she continued to perform Lieder in public long after the intelligence of her readings ceased to compensate for the loss of vocal bloom.

	The World Today - Celebrated soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf dies
		Schwarzkopf became renowned for her interpretation of the German language composers, Schubert, Wagner, Strauss and Mozart, such as this recording of Mozart's Cosi Van Tutte with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra from 1963.
		MOFFAT OXENBLOUD: Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is one of the singers that I grew up with because she was on so many gramophone recordings, long-playing records that in the 50s and 60s were my great sort of companion and the introduction to lots of the operas that I've been privileged to work with later on.
		And I think that's the case also with Schwarzkopf, her critics would say that she was very mannered, because she used particularly the German language extraordinarily well and in her famous operetta recordings, for example, it is quite mannered, but it's mannered in a correct way.

		Schwarzkopf is indeed very moving, and she's magnificent in the great Time aria and in the splendid closing trio, but her highly mannered responses to her lover often get on your nerves: there's a little too much cooing and gurgling going on.
		Elisabeth Schwarzkopf has recently departed our society after a long and illustrious career, and no admirer of her work should be without one of her finest and most celebrated monuments.
		Schwarzkopf, for me, is ideal as the Marschallin, her voice coming over as the right kind of thirtysomething as well as having the authority and poise that the role demands.

	Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, 90, Top Lyric Soprano - August 4, 2006 - The New York Sun
		Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, who has died at 90, was a lyric soprano whose aristocratic purity of tone and attention to detail made her the supreme female exponent of the songs of Strauss and Wolf and produced some of the most authoritative operatic performances of the postwar era.
		She was lucky to be allowed to perform in Britain at all, for her involvement with the Nazi party had been at least as intimate as those of Karajan and Furtwangler.
		These were swiftly uncovered, and Jefferson finds it strange that someone as intelligent as Schwarzkopf should have resorted to such "clumsy methods of fudging her past." He speculates that she was attempting to hide more than NSDAP membership: there were rumors that she was the lover of a senior Nazi.

	Obituary: Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, 90, soprano - Arts & Leisure - International Herald Tribune
		Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, the German- born soprano whose interpretations of Strauss and Mozart made her one of the most dazzling artists of her time, died Thursday at her home in Austria.
		To her legions of admirers, Schwarzkopf was a peerless interpreter of Strauss's Marschallin, Mozart's Donna Elvira and other operatic roles.
		The consensus, however, was that in roles like the Marschallin and other Strauss heroines (Ariadne in "Ariadne auf Naxos" and the countess in "Capriccio"), as well as Mozart's Fiordiligi and Countess Almaviva and Wagner's Eva and Elsa, she could sing incomparably, with shimmering tone and richness and charismatic presence.
