Christa Ludwig (mezzo-soprano)About
Ludwig possessed a voice seamlessly joined across three registers, peerless diction and a first-hand knowledge of stagecraft. She has worked with a stellar line-up of conductors … Karajan, Klemperer, Bernstein, Böhm, Kempe, Solti; and her masterclasses are still events as she passes the wisdom of her long and celebrated career to a new generation of singers.
Limited edition 12-CD collection celebrating Christa Ludwig’s 90th birthday, through a selection of her legendary recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, Decca and Philips of opera and sacred arias, oratorio and Lieder.
Includes recordings with the trinity of great conductors with whom she famously worked: Karl Böhm, Herbert von Karajan and Leonard Bernstein.
Also includes the first international release of a witty, endearing German interview conducted by Thomas Voigt (2007) in which Ms Ludwig discusses the conductors – Bernstein and Karajan among them – with whom she collaborated over her long and successful career.
60-page booklet with a new and exclusive interview with Gramophone editor-in-chief James Jolly (English/German) and an English transcript of the interview with Voigt.
