About
His international career was brought to an abrupt and premature end in the 1960s. During an operation, one of his vocal cords was damaged and his voice never regained its force and beauty. While in Munich during a tour of Europe, London suffered a stroke from which he never fully recovered. He died in New York in 1985.
This album of recordings from the Bavarian broadcast archive features the legendary bass-baritone at the height of his career in the 1950s.
