Mezzo soprano Marjana Lipovsek is a terrific singer whose career on disc has not always shown her interpretive gifts in the best light. She first gained notice for her chilling portrayal of the Sphinx in Enescu's Oedipe, and it's very satisfying to hear her in a song program of her own, particularly since her stunning rendition of Martin's Der Coronet a few years ago. Here, she sings songs to texts by Schiller, Goethe, Schlegel, and above all the lovely four Hymns by Novalis--some of the most beautiful music that Schubert ever wrote. --David Hurwitz
