About

This 1961 Radio-Canada telecast preserves the art of the Greek mezzo-soprano Elena Nikolaidi in a program of music by Gluck, Wolf and Canteloube, ending with a set of two traditional Greek songs. Her accompanist is the pianist Guy Bourassa.

Madame Nikolaidi was celebrated in her time for her operatic portrayals, but she was also acclaimed as a recitalist who performed with subtly imaginative acting, as is demonstrated in this video.

The DVD also includes an audio-only bonus of Nikolaidi in a fascinating 1989 interview. An important document of a virtuoso who made very few recordings.

Contents:
Gluck:
- Orfeo ed Euridice: Che farò senza Euridice

Wolf:
- Das verlassene Mägdlein
- In dem Schatten meiner Locken
- Elfenlied

Canteloube:
- Bailero
- Malheureux qui a une femme
- La fileuse

Popular Greek Songs:
- Chant du berger "L'agnelet"
- Sérénade de Crête

28 minutes, Black and White.
