R.I.P. Christa Ludwig

Whilst I did not realise she was still alive in 2021, I have a pang of sadness to read of her death.

One of the voices that always seemed to be there in my young days, and always absolutely wonderful.

What heroes and heroins are left? Not many.

Best wishes from George
 
Not a voice that I knew or I had even stumbled upon.

What a totally beautiful, expressive, haunting voice. Thank you @windhoek

RIP Christa, thank you too.

She really was a giant in her own right and truly sang with the best of them. Even though she recorded such a vast amount of music, this is probably Christa at her peak: performing Das Lied von der Erde alongside Fritz Wunderlich, conducted by Otto Klemperer.

 
windhoek,

Words have certainly not failed the people at France Musique: they have been on an almost uninterrupted streak of tributes ever since the sad news broke. All very interesting and a welcome way of revisiting the extraordinary career of Frau Ludwig. On top of being a brilliant musician, a phenomenal vocal athlete and an impeccable professional, she came across as a warm and interesting personality.
