About
“On four incredibly busy, surely taxing, days in June 49 years ago, Astrid Varnay recorded an appreciable tranche of her repertory, largely in the company of her husband Hermann Weigert as conductor. For the first time all these recordings are assembled in a single issue, along with others made later in the 1950s . . . Varnay enthusiasts will be delighted to have everything here.” - Gramophone
“All of which is triumphantly shown by Universal's dazzling Original Masters series, bargain priced, well documented, attractively packaged, and mainly devoted to the mono era. DG's Astrid Varnay set of three CDs of her commercial Wagner recordings made in her prime (early 1950s) plus some Beethoven and Verdi, is a handsome example. The sound is as excellent as one would expect, so one can appreciate her voice in minute detail, relishing her every commanding interpretative decision.” - The Sunday Times
Deutsche Grammophon’s Original Masters Series collections each present a logical grouping of historical repertoire from a single great DG artist.
The booklets contain liner notes commissioned for the series, photos, details of the original recordings, and reproduce the distinctive cover artwork.
