Oeuvre: Cäcilie, Op.27 no.2

Diana Damrau, Jonas Kaufmann and Helmut Deutsch's European tour reaches Berlin with a heart-on-sleeve programme of Lieder by Strauss and Mahler. 

Renée Fleming makes a worthy return to the Marschallin, but this all-Strauss program, led by Andris Nelsons, is more notable for its deficits.

In her New York recital debut, the young Norwegian soprano displays the extent of her vocal and theatrical power in an unusually wide-ranging program of songs and opera arias.
