专辑简介
Born in Berlin on March 16, 1928, beloved mezzo-soprano Christa Ludwig celebrates her 80th birthday this year. In recognition of her musical legacy, Arthaus Musik releases a special birthday edition DVD—Christa Ludwig: The Birthday Edition (Arthaus Musik 102089). This 2-DVD set includes Franz Schubert Die Winterreise, together with a lieder recital dating from the last year of her stage career. In addition, both DVDs feature master classes given by Ms. Ludwig at Vienna’s magnificent neo-Baroque Volkstheater in 1999.
Renowned for her vocal longevity and artistic consistency, Christa Ludwig’s career spanned nearly 48 years before her retirement from the concert stage in 1994. In 1994, she became the second female singer, after Lotte Lehmann, to give a concert performance of Die Winterreise, and this is its first commercial release. That same year Ms. Ludwig also performed several lieder recitals as part of a farewell tour, which included works by Schubert, Wolf, Mahler, Strauss, and Bernstein, accompanied by Charles Spencer.
The first master class focuses on Mozart and concludes with an excerpt featuring the young Ludwig as Dorabella in Così fan tutte (1970). The second includes pieces by Beethoven, Bizet, and Massenet, concluding with a stunning excerpt of Ludwig singing Mistress Quickly in a production of Verdi’s Falstaff (1982).
