Mabel Garrison sings 'Charmant oiseau,' with orchestra conducted by Josef Pasternack and flute obbligato by Clement Barone, recorded at Camden on 13 June 1917. Garrison is almost forgotten nowadays, but her records are well worth seeking out. Michael Scott referred to her as 'the admirable Mabel Garrison,' and it's a good description of this well-schooled singer with a pleasant soprano voice which she used well.

Aušrinė Stundytė Irena Milkevičiūtė Prokofiev Korngold Richard Strauss Shostakovich Berg Asmik Grigorian Oper Köln Salzburg Festival 1976 1994 2000 2020
The celebrated and widely acclaimed for the combination of acting and vocalism Lithuanian soprano Aušrinė Stundytė (b. 1976) studied singing from 1994 to 2000 at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre with Irena Milkevičiūtė and then for long 11 years she dissapeared from the Lithuanian operatic scene. At first, Stundytė continued her vocal training with Helga Forner at the Academy of Music and Theatre in Leipzig and then made her debut in the Oper Köln, guested in Lübeck, Essen, Lisbon or - as Sieglinde in Die Valkyrie - in Palermo. She sang many classical soprano roles but only recently, having performed the roles of Renata in Prokofiev‘s “The Fiery Angel“ and Marietta in Korngold‘s “Die tote Stadt“ and, especially, the passionate and destructive Elektra in Richard Strauss‘ “Elektra“, Salome in Richard Strauss “Salome“ and, above all, Katerina in Shostakovich‘s “Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District“, Stundytė gained the inner freedom in her dramatic artistic world. She has worked with many famous conductors and stage directors, including Dmitry Tcherniakov, Krzystof Warlikowski, and Calixto Bieito. Her extensive repertoire of songs and concerts also includes the song cycles of Strauss, Berg, and Wagner. This video presents an excerpt from the Richard Strauss’ opera “Elektra” under direction of Krzystof Warlikowski shown in the Salzburg Festival in 2020 with Aušrinė Stundytė in the title role. The fact that the role of her sister Crysothemis was performed by another famous Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian is another reason to single out this staging.
