In comparing Elisabeth Schwarzkopf with Hilde Güden in operettas, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf’s interpretations are clearly the better, but Hilde Güden was vocally her superior. In spite of all her efforts to sound Viennese, she remained German, where as Güden was a true Viennese. As far as opera is concerned both ladies sang together in Der Rosenkavalier and Mozart-opera’s with no rivalry. Hilde Güden’s most famous recording in the operetta field became Die Fledermaus under conduction of Herbert von Karajan. Furthermore she made a number of operetta-recordings with aria’s and fragments, that have here-to-fore been forgotten. We bring two of them to your attention. The first is from the Viennese repertoire with a number of aria’s one will rarely hear. The songs of Coward and Novello were released on a Decca recording that became a collector’s item. The argument can be made if she was the right person for that. The singing was charming, but not in the style of the repertoire the British love so much. The concert in Amsterdam is special and the Fledermaus-fragments from the Metropolitan Opera in New York remind us of a substantial number of opera-roles behind her name and that she was greatly loved.
