Donald George, Tenor; Lucy Mauro, Piano;
“The young lady’s composition … surprised us in the most pleasant way … we consider Miss Kralik to be a genuine, original talent which … holds great promise for the future.” —Eduard Hanslick; Neuen Freien Presse, April 19, 1878
In keeping with Delos’ emerging tradition of bringing the worthy music of unjustly neglected composers again to light, we offer here the premiere recording devoted to the vibrant and engaging art songs of Mathilde von Kralik (1857-1944): a most accomplished and appealing composer whose music is ripe for rediscovery. A prized student of Bruckner at the Vienna Conservatory (where she also met Mahler), she graduated first in her class in an era when women’s creative abilities were largely scorned. Also an accomplished pianist and singer, she went on to become a leading figure in Viennese artistic life.
