Brahms, Gipsy Songs, Op. 103

In April 1972, the mezzo-soprano Christa Ludwig, accompanied by Leonard
Bernstein, gave a recital with lieder by Johannes Brahms in Vienna's
Musikvereinssaal. They performed the same program in New York's Town Hall,
and, while on a concert tour of Israel, recorded it for television at the
Tel Aviv Museum in May 1972. Christa Ludwig, a highly expressive and
intelligent artist, has been hailed as the best Mozart and Strauss mezzo
of her generation. In addition, she has always shown a great predilection
for the lied, and is known for her soulful interpretations of lieder by
Brahms, Mahler and Schubert.
