The singer whom Thomas Mann called "Frau Sonne". A bass-baritone who could bend a horseshoe with one hand. A miraculous coloratura singer who impressed even Joan Sutherland. A mansion keeper who became as popular as Lohengrin and Othello, as a comedian and writer. The beautiful Prussia who called herself "The voice of her master". The man of whom Rachmaninoff said: "He sang as Tolstoy wrote". A soprano whose art is usually seen only from the perspective of "death and transformation". A man who, before Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, was Germany's leading singer of songs. A Hungarian whose highest notes pierced like flamethrowers through the sound masses of the orchestra. A singer who was one of the best Italian baritones of the 20th century, although he sang mostly in German. Ten singing legends collected in a unique collection of historic recordings that will delight hunters and collectors alike. Those who have not previously studied the singing greats of the shellac era, or have done so only to a limited extent, will be surprised at how contemporary singers sound when listening to these meticulously restored recordings. And they will understand what makes more and more listeners reach for historic recordings.....
