Anyone else have this. from the 1970'slovely musicianship and a good recording too.
Ely Ameling Jorg demus and som other guy on the clarinet all HIP instruments.
Has the best 'Gretchen am spinradd' I have!
At Duratone Hi-Fi, where I worked for a while, it became so popular as a demo disk that we had to buy new ones every year!

Hiya Timbo.Elly Ameling's HM recordings--reissued on RCA Victrola and Quintessence here in the US and probably on a bunch of other labels elsewhere in the world--are all drop-dead gorgeous. They caught her in the purest early flowering of her vocal art, and I cannot praise them highly enough. Her mixed disc of Schubert and Schumann was the first recording to convince me that there might just be something worthwhile in this classical vocal stuff, after all--even if I couldn't understand what the heck they were singin' about! One selection in particular--my friends and I always referred to it as "Shepherd on the Rocks"--brings me very close to tears every time I hear it. She sings. I melt. It's that simple.
The Schubertiade you mention is, I believe, a different but equally lovely album. So is her Bach Anna Magdalena Notebook--great album of beautiful singing alternating with lively and live-sounding instrumental tracks (though a bit piercing in the treble in some transfers). She did others in this period that I could mention, but I'm probably starting to gush.
Happy spinning,
yeah 'melt' is the word.the 'shepherd on the rock' with Ely and Demus is the other great track.
BUT we and my lady heard it 'together'.
no bloke is ever gonna get his SO to quite 'get' audio.
but 'Tishie will tell audio buddies that they MUST get a 'moving coil'!
and she can tell if the TT needs her '*********' guiding hands.
Grin :-)}

I look forward to Christmas so I can play Elly's Christmas Album with Thijs van Leer -- Just the right amount of warmth and sentiment. I know I'm home for the holidays.
Thanks for reminding me. I have a Schubertiade disc of about that vintage that was an all time favourite, but which I haven't played for years. I'll have to track it down and give it a spin.
