Lucia Popp is one of the best-documented and most versatile singers of her generation. Because of her linguistic and stylistic flexibility she was able to sing a very wide range of repertoire. Her acting talent was extraordinary as well. Before she began her vocal studies she had studied medicine and drama and acted in a number of movies. This new release shows a richly varied program with soprano arias by Mozart to Weber and Rossini all the way to Lehár and Stolz taken from concerts given in 1968 to 1982.
Previously unreleased live recordings from the “Sunday Concerts” with the Münchner Rundfunkorchester.
Singer portrait featuring Lucia Popp’s core repertoire, including famous arias from the likes of Mozart to Lehár.
After Mirella Freni, Nicolai Ghiaurov and Margaret Price, this release continues the successful “Great Singers Live” series
