Anne Evans is best known for her work in Wagner and Strauss. However, the dramatic roles she sang only tell half the story of her artistry. Like Kirsten Flagstad, Evans spent her formative years performing lighter fare, only venturing into heavier repertoire when her voice was ready. This compilation showcases the brilliance of her younger years, alongside some of her early forays into Strauss and Wagner.

The compilation features arias and excerpts from Temistocle, Die Fledermaus, La Traviata, Dalibor, Lohengrin, Die Walküre, Die Frau ohne Schatten, and Elektra.

Also featured are Terry Jenkins, Keith Erwen, Leonie Rysanek, Patricia Payne, Kathrine Harries, Phillip Joll, and Pauline Tinsley.
