In compiling this retrospective, one is struck by the sheer breadth of Walter Berry’s repertoire—a range far more expansive than his well-known work in Wagner and Strauss might suggest. While his commanding presence in those dramatic roles is rightly celebrated, this collection also highlights his finesse and tonal beauty in Mozart, where his artistry proves just as compelling. Berry’s rich, expressive baritone and impeccable musical instincts mark him as one of the great singers of the 20th century. The compilation features arias from Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, Le Nozze di Figaro, Die Zauberflöte, Fidelio, Aida, Tristan und Isolde, Die Walküre, Wozzeck, Die Frau ohne Schatten, and Der Rosenkavalier. He is joined by notable collaborators including Gloria Davy, Ursula Schröder-Feinen, Christa Ludwig, and Jon Vickers, further enhancing the richness of this portrait.
