Binding : Audio CDEAN : 0724358510225Label : EMI ClassicsManufacturer : EMI ClassicsPublisher : EMI ClassicsRelease date : 2003-08-04Title : The Very Best of Lucia PoppOriginal release date : 2003-08-04Running time : 154Studio : EMI ClassicsMPN : 85102Number of discs : 2 Lucia Popp seems to have never stopped singing and recording...thankfully so. This 2 CD set contains an excellent cross section of her broad repertoire and captures her in excellent voice throughout as she nearly always was in the studio (the one exception is her Viennese operetta disc where she sounds harder voiced than usual - I don't think Rothenberger can be easily beaten in this respect but that's another story).
br /The set contains her slightly individual rendition of the 4 last songs with Tennstedt, Rusalkas Song to the Moon in her native language, and therefore perhaps an accurate and certainly exciting interpretation and much else of joy besides.
br /I have this along with the very best of Thomas Hampson, Monserrat Caballe and I would commend them to you also. Frankly all these are wonderful...and must haves
A much missed singer and I agree with the other reviewer one of the Greatest sopranos of the 20th century,whos voice could melt the heart of stone I bought this set also,it could have included so much more? just released i see on dvd DG the wonderful Zauberflote from Bavaria with the divine Lucia as pamina please please buy it and see a Fabulous perfomance they do not make singers like Lucia Popp any more..P Duffy
