If I were to guess, this was a recording of my mother and her pianist
rehearsing together at home. 81 would have placed the recording at our
home in Cleveland.
The songs here were reasonably easy to separate. As I discovered in web searching, the second song may actually be a four-piece set. | |
|---|---|---|
| Luigi Cherubini? | Medea aria | |
| Franz Schubert? | Mignon Lieder | |
| Richard Strauss | Rosenband | |
| Wiegenlied | ||
| Himmelsboten | ||
| Samuel Barber? | Vanessa aria? | |
| Francesco Cilea? | Cilea aria? | |

This was a really wonderful recording to listen to, actually.. I could
hear the pride in my mother's voice as she sang, and hearing her get
applause was really nice. I edited them out of the mp3s, but I'm
thinking of going back and adding them back in at some point. I figure
that anyone who wants to listen to her music, should hear her applause,
too.
Thankfully, as it turned out, this was an easy recording to segment into its individual songs. | |

I could not for the life of me separate these pieces. This was
obviously a concert performance, probably in Jordan Hall, at the New
England Conservatory, where mom also taught. All I have to go on is
what was printed on the tape jacket, so I have the 9 song titles, but
during the performance, after I broke it up at long multi-second pauses
where the piano could distinctly be heard releasing the pedals, I ended
up with 19 seperate pieces. And I don't know enough about the source
material at this point to try and obtain copies to compare. So I
present these songs as best as I can.
I'd like to note that this may have been one of my mother's last performances, as she passed away only two and a half years later. | |
