Compilation: Martha Mödl - Excerpts from Fidelio, Macbeth, Ballo, Elektra, Oedipus Rex, Gloriana, Parsifal, Tristan and the Ring
$9.95
Description:
Martha Mödl brings her powerful, rich voice and commanding dramatic instincts to this collection, making each excerpt a vivid fusion of vocal intensity and theatrical depth. A central figure in postwar German opera, Mödl rose to international prominence through her interpretations of Wagner and Strauss, particularly as Kundry, Isolde, and Brünnhilde. Her performances were marked not only by vocal strength but by an extraordinary emotional and psychological insight that captivated audiences across Europe.
The program features arias and scenes from Fidelio, Macbeth, Un Ballo in maschera, Gloriana, Oedipus Rex, Elektra, Parsifal, Tristan und Isolde, and Der Ring des Nibelungen.
She is joined by distinguished colleagues including Hans Hotter, Inge Borkh, Wolfgang Windgassen, and Ramón Vinay.
There is a noticeable buzz during the Un Ballo in maschera excerpt, but it does not detract significantly from the overall impact of the compilation.
