With her creamy tone and ability to spin the silvery upper-register sonority needed for her Strauss roles, she was a natural successor to Elisabeth Schumann, Lotte Schöne and Adele Kern. Fortunately for posterity, she recorded prolifically and in the LP era she worked mainly for Decca, taking part in many opera and operetta sets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost of the Mozart arias here were among Gueden’s first studio recordings. The first two were set down on her initial visit to London in 1947 with the LSO under Josef Krips and four more were made two years later with the same accompanists. All were intended for 78rpm release and four came out in that form; but two, overtaken by the arrival of 33rpm LPs, were not released until the CD era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese Mozart portraits establish some of Gueden’s best qualities – the creamy tone, even from top to bottom, the rhythmic poise and the mercurial, sometimes cheeky personality. The late 1940s and 1950s in Vienna seem like a golden age of Mozart singing, and Hilde Gueden played her part in it.\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘“Voi che sapete” and “Deh vieni” are both given excellent performances, the latter with its recitative “Giunse alfin” and here Gueden is on her home ground … the recording is really excellent.’ Gramophone\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_1_81beb09d-4c29-4149-bf73-0d3740fd1d73_480x480.png?v=1595264371\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART\u003cbr\u003eLe nozze di Figaro: Non so più\u003cbr\u003eLe nozze di Figaro: Deh vieni non tardar\u003cbr\u003eDon Giovanni: Batti, batti\u003cbr\u003eDon Giovanni: Vedrai, carino\u003cbr\u003eCosì fan tutte: In uomini\u003cbr\u003eCosì fan tutte: Una donna\u003cbr\u003eLondon Symphony Orchestra\u003cbr\u003eJosef Krips\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExsultate, jubilate, KV 16\u003cbr\u003eIl re pastore: L’amerò, sarò costante\u003cbr\u003eDie Zauberflöte: Ach, ich fühl’s\u003cbr\u003eLe nozze di Figaro: Venite … inginocchiatevi\u003cbr\u003eWiener Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003eAlberto Erede\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLe nozze di Figaro: Giunse alfin il momento … Deh vieni non tardar\u003cbr\u003eIdomeneo: Se il padre perdei\u003cbr\u003eNon temer, amato bene, KV 490\u003cbr\u003eLe nozze di Figaro: Voi che sapete\u003cbr\u003eWiener Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003eClemens Krauss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLe nozze di Figaro: Cosa mi narri … Canzonetta sull’aria\u003cbr\u003eLisa Della Casa, soprano\u003cbr\u003eWiener Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003eErich Kleiber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHilde Gueden, soprano\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DECCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32273983144023,"sku":"028948206810","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/products\/3189628.jpg?v=1595892217","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/products\/hilde-gueden-sings-mozart-import","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
