That's all there are. Is your recording w/ orchestral or piano
accompaniment? She's recorded them w/ Oivin Fjeldstat conducting the
Orchestra of the Oslo Philharmonic Society (Acanta 43189), w/ Gerald
Moore, piano (EMI CDH 7 63030-2), and w/ Bruno Walter, piano (AS 422).
In addition to the above, I also have them sung by Tiana Lemnitz, w/ Robert
Heger conducting the Staatskapelle, Berlin (Acanta 43275) and by Astid
Varnay w/ Leopold Ludwig conducting the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
I liked the songs when I first heard them sung to orchestral accompaniment.
After hearing them accompanied by piano alone, which was the way they were
first written, I was captivated.
