THE SONGBIRD: Agnes Giebel (1921 – 2017) was born in the Netherlands, where she lived the first years of her life before moving to Germany. She studied in Essen and based her career in Koln and Berlin. Her first public appearance as a singer came in 1947. In 1950, she was engaged by the RIAS Berlin for a weekly series of Bach cantatas, which helped establish her as one of the foremost soprano soloists in Bach's works in the 1950s and 1960s including dozens of recordings. Giebel was especially admired as a lieder singer and in the sacred works and cantatas of Mozart, Handel, Telemann, Haydn, and Beethoven, but also branched into the contemporary music Berg, Schoenberg, Hindemith, and Henze.
THE MUSIC: Mozart's gorgeous aria for soprano, K.143 "Ergo interest ... Quaere superna" was likely composed in Milan in February 1770, when he was 14 years old. It is a setting of a non-liturgical text in the Italian style of the period, perhaps written for one of his castrato friends. It's a superb example of Mozart's ability to create sublime moments for the soprano voice.
