Several LPs, combined over two (now deleted) Deutsche Grammophon ‘Originals’ are here combined into a 2CD set, showcasing the soprano in popular opera-arias, waltz-songs, folk-songs (English, American, Russian, Japanese and Yiddish) and lullabies. The waltzes stem from the melodic treasury of the Viennese Strauss dynasty – music of yearning, enchantment and nostalgia, all abetted by Streich’s joyous coloratura. The folk songs and lullabies were recorded in Munich and in Regensburg, in 1962 and 1964. Note-writer Bernhard Uske, describes the result as ‘a glorious carpet of flowers’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/REVIEWS_CS_WORLD_7ad42b8b-2188-414f-9c17-0e66da4d836d_480x480.png?v=1595264361\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘she has the rare gift of being able to sing bon-bons with a complete and captivating charm … sparkling fireworks (Meyerbeer) … the most beautiful control (Saint-Saëns) … ravishingly spun tone (Godard) … the recording is outstandingly good throughout with plenty of depth and a pleasing acoustic’ (CD1: 1–8) Stereo Record Guide\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘like a bird on the wing, crystal-clear, astounding in its virtuosity … sings with absolute naturalness, with the utmost ease and a completely unforced intimacy’ Opéra International\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘a voice so bright that an inner light radiates in her singing, Streich is pure pleasure to listen to … Highly recommended’ (Folk Songs and Lullabies) Fanfare\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘Her voice was absolutely faultless: a ravishingly beautiful and pure tone, produced with perfect breath support and absolute evenness from bottom to top, with dead-on intonation and completely secure high notes free from any shrillness.
