Alas, my dear teacher and mentor John Wustman, one of the most influential, pathbreaking, and inspired of all accompanists (a term he far preferred to \u201ccollaborative pianist\u201d) died this past Thursday at the age of 95. I have already featured his magnificent artistry on countless episodes, including two devoted expressly to his superb artistry and musicianship. Rather than simply reissuing one of those episodes (or recycling an additional bonus episode already published for my Patreon supporters), I decided to focus on his work with one singer in particular, the French soprano R\u00e9gine Crespin. Wustman\u2019s work with singers such as Luciano Pavarotti and others is well-remembered and documented, but at a crucial point in his career, it was his recital work with Crespin that was (at her insistence) documented on two commercial releases of art song, both recorded in the mid-1960s, one on EMI, the other on London\/Decca. These form a central part of Wustman\u2019s recorded legacy. Today, however, I am focusing on rare live recordings of the pair in recital between 1967 and 1970, the twilight of Crespin\u2019s prime. From these, I have chosen five different song cycles that were featured in those performances, works by Poulenc, Debussy, Milhaud, Schumann, and Hugo Wolf. These recordings have not received widespread circulation, and for that reason alone they would constitute essential listening, but what is even more exceptional is the strong musical bond between the two performers, one which emanates out to their audience in a way which is utterly remarkable. I shall be featuring further episodes with my beloved Mr. Wustman in months to come, but I am particularly honored to share these with you today, as we mourn his death and celebrate his ongoing legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DG-and-JW.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DG-and-JW.jpg 960w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DG-and-JW-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DG-and-JW-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-size\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"828\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wustman-Crespin-Beth-Bergman-1024x828.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wustman-Crespin-Beth-Bergman-1024x828.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wustman-Crespin-Beth-Bergman-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wustman-Crespin-Beth-Bergman-768x621.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wustman-Crespin-Beth-Bergman.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Beth Bergman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>All tracks feature John Wustman, piano, and R\u00e9gine Crespin, soprano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"662\" height=\"823\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wustman-Lieblingsfoto.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wustman-Lieblingsfoto.png 662w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wustman-Lieblingsfoto-241x300.png 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hugo Wolf, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: Anakreons Grab [live Hunter College 11.XI.67]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"856\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Crespin-bowing-Wustman-watching-1024x856.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Crespin-bowing-Wustman-watching-1024x856.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Crespin-bowing-Wustman-watching-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Crespin-bowing-Wustman-watching-768x642.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Crespin-bowing-Wustman-watching.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Beth Bergman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Francis Poulenc, Louise de Vilmorin: <em>Fian\u00e7ailles pour rire<\/em>, FP 107.
