Description:

Elisabeth Söderström was often described as a “singer’s singer”—an artist whose understated elegance, rock-solid technique, and extraordinary versatility earned her deep respect among colleagues and audiences alike. She may not have courted the spotlight with flamboyant flair, but her honesty of expression and vocal command across a wide range of repertoire made her unforgettable to those who experienced her live. This thoughtfully curated compilation showcases Söderström in arias from Così fan tutte, Die Zauberflöte, Carmen, Falstaff, Eugene Onegin, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Der Rosenkavalier, Wozzeck, and Věc Makropulos. Also featured are performances by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Mattiwilda Dobbs, making this a fascinating portrait of three great artists in their prime.
