Gabriele Schreckenbach
Gabriele Schreckenbach (born in Berlin) is a German contralto singer in opera and concert and an academic voice teacher.
She recorded Bach cantatas with the Gächinger Kantorei and Helmuth Rilling. She recorded choral works of Mozart, his "Waisenhausmesse" K. 139 and rarely performed pieces, with the RIAS Kammerchor and the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Marcus Creed. She recorded the part of Ursula in the opera "Feuersnot" of Richard Strauss with Erich Leinsdorf and parts in three operas of Paul Hindemith with Gerd
of soprano and alto. John Eliot Gardiner notes the movement's "madrigalian lightness and delicacy perfectly appropriate to the joyous message of the parable".
