Doris Soffel Sings Lieder is a beautifully crafted album that showcases the stunning vocal abilities of Doris Soffel. The album features a collection of German art songs, or lieder, that are both emotive and lyrical. Soffel's voice is rich and expressive, and she brings a depth of feeling to each of the songs she sings.
The album is expertly produced, with each song being given the attention it deserves. The piano accompaniment is subtle and nuanced, providing the perfect backdrop for Soffel's voice. The recording quality is excellent, capturing the full range of Soffel's voice and the delicate nuances of the piano accompaniment.
One of the standout tracks on the album is Schubert's "Der Erlkönig," a hauntingly beautiful song that tells the story of a father and son being pursued by the Erlking. Soffel's voice is perfectly suited to the piece, conveying the fear and desperation of the characters in the story.
