4 out of 5 stars Environmental content highlited by two fabulous ballads.......1999-03-02

"Vampire" is reason enough to purchase this album. It is a haunting ballad both sensual and heartbreaking. It plays like the inner monologue of a true vampire who both begrudges and embraces her nature. Claudia's vocal gifts in this piece are what first attracted me to her as an artist. When playing music for friends I will inevitably introduce them to this piece and many times first time listeners have been visibly and audibly affected at the vocal crescendo which marks the middle of "Vampire". "The Man Who Visits Me" is a sad lament of a person/heart that finds a glimmer of love in the benign visits of a harmless peeping Tom.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet Memories.......2000-11-07

I bumped into Claudia in a cozy club in Amherst in 82 - when she played Drinking Buddy I thought my heart would break... ah, sweet memories! She was and is a favorite!

3 out of 5 stars Hints of things to come, spots of brilliance, uneven.......1998-08-07

Claudia Schmidt was looking for her place when she made this recording. You'll find a representative of several folk/blues styles, as if she was checking them off a list. "Drinking Buddy" started off the CD with close harmonies; "If I Only Had a Brain" was over before you knew it, and didn't make much impression. "Lady" tells its story well. My favorite on this album, and the reason I picked this one over the other Schmidt offerings (I have _Midwestern Heart_ on vinyl) was "Since I Fell For You", the Tommy Edwards hit. Schmidt switches back and forth between the Edwards torchy rendering and a more bluesy one; she gives the song a great ride, but her contralto voice would have been better used if she'd stayed with the torch. I can recommend this album as an intro to an artist more people should know; but in these days of format radio, artists like Claudia Schmidt have a hard time being heard to a wide public.

5 out of 5 stars Superb.......2005-12-29

More brilliance by this mostly undiscovered artist

5 out of 5 stars "Hard Love" is worth the entire CD price.......2003-12-25

The entire CD is excellent, for those who love folk music.

But I bought it for the song "Hard Love". The rest is good, but Hard Love is one of the best folk songs I've ever heard.

Years ago, I heard it on WGBH (Boston's public radio station). One of the on-air people said that when she heard the song, she had to write down the title - then forgot to give it. Email to the station got the title, and the album, but "New Goodbyes, Old Helloes" was and is still unavailable. Years later, I went looking again, and found that "Out of the Dark" has most of the songs, including "Hard Love". So this was the end of the search, and it was worth it.

The rest of the album is excellent, also.

5 out of 5 stars Great music.......2002-05-28

This is heartwarming music, provided in original style for anyone appreciating imaginative, folk or accoustic music.

5 out of 5 stars They don't come any better than Claudia Schmidt !.......2000-04-30

I met Claudia Schmidt in Denver, Colorado in the early 1980's when she was performing in solo concerts for the Music Association of Swallow Hill (Denver's legendary folk music club). In addition to being a genuinely decent human being with a heart as wide as the ocean, Claudia's voice is full-throated, robust, and rich enough to fill the entire galaxy. Her vocal talents range from the the softest whispers of vocal music to heart-stopping, passionate crescendoes. Claudia can bring the listener to tears on her more personal, intimate numbers, or can take the listener on soaring flights of sound into the stratosphere on her more raucous numbers. I've heard huge numbers of folk singers,--both in person and on albums and audio tapes--but I've never found anyone who can compare to Claudia Schmidt. When I knew Clauda in Denver in the early '80's, she was still performing and recording only folky stuff, and I bought everything of hers that was available. I gather that in the ensuing 15 years, she has continued her drift towards jazz and blues. My guess is that anything, and I mean anything, that Claudia sings will be superb. She has a voice that is a real classic of musicianship, a seemingly endless vocal range with spot-on pitch, amazing breath control and sense of phrasing, plus an ability to sing straight to the listener's guts. I would highly recommend every cut on this CD, as well as every other album, audio cassette, and/or CD that Claudia Schmidt has ever, or will ever, release.

              Here is a lovely performance of an unjustly neglected, lovely work. The poetry is disappointing, considering Schumann's usually discriminating literary taste, but he transcends its shortcomings with music of enchanting lyricism, delicacy, warmth, and romantic ardor; in his hands, an innocent fairy tale about a rose's magic transformation into a maiden becomes a paean to nature, spring, and love. There are gossamer choruses of elves, hunters' choruses with horn calls, a solemn, mournful funeral procession, a wedding with festive dances, and an ethereal chorus of angels. The tenor acts as narrator until he becomes the bridegroom; then other voices take over. Schumann's orchestration of his original piano accompaniment adds color and atmosphere to every situation. This recording employs the instruments and number of players that were in use during Schumann's lifetime; the sound is wonderfully pure and transparent, with perfect balance and among between winds, strings, and voices. Playing and singing are splendid; Rainer Trost and Andreas Schmidt stand out for sheer vocal beauty. --Edith Eisler
