专辑简介
Julia Varady is a mystery. In a sense, she embodies in one person the unlikely fusion of the art of the two most famous prima donnas of the second half of the twentieth century, Maria Callas and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. She has Callas' emotional commitment, overwhelming dramatic presence and tragedian's art; and Schwarzkopf's perfect vocal technique, charm of voice and extreme refinement of expression. Furthermore, her repertoire spans and extends beyond the seemingly incompatible repertoires of these two great models. Of all the divas who have been singing in recent years, she is the one on whom music professionals – conductors, opera directors and fellow-singers – have bestowed the most flattering reputation, though it can hardly be said that she has achieved truly popular fame: she has not had the American canonisation, has not indulged in the whims or affected mannerisms of the star, and has never provoked the media scandals from which, one way or another, myths are fashioned.
And yet, with her sumptuous voice, her spellbinding stage presence, her burningly intense physical and emotional absorption in the music she is singing, her purely musical gifts, her characteristic exquisite spontaneity, she should have been idolised by a far wider public than the relatively limited opera audience.
