Description
This 6-disc collection features some of the most renowned singers of the 20th century. The first album showcases Nicolai Gedda's interpretive genius with historical recordings made between 1954 and 1965 and featuring works by Mozart, Rossini, Glinka, Schubert, Poulenc, Rimsky-Korsakov and others. On the second album, Martina Arroyo's rich, well-rounded voice is on full display during her performance at the Schwetzinger SWR Festspiele (SWF in those times). The third album (2 Discs) includes recordings made at the height of Peter Anders' career, featuring works by Wagner, Strauss, Beethoven, Schumann and Tchaikovsky. The fourth album spotlights Marilyn Horne at the peak of her abilities with an all-Rossini programme. Lastly, the fifth album is devoted to the incomparable Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, performing lesser-known Baroque repertoire in Stuttgart. This collection provides a captivating musical journey that presents some of the greatest voices of the 20th century.
