Saving the best for last in the Richard Strauss anniversary 2014. The
world’s most luxurious soprano, Anna Netrebko, sings Richard Strauss’
sumptuous Four Last Songs, accompanied by the Staatskapelle Berlin and Daniel
Barenboim. An irresistible, all-star combination
The live recording will take place in Berlin, this month. It is a charity
concert.
Netrebko is a phenomenon. The world’s best-selling active soprano and quite simply, the undisputed superstar – “la prima donna assoluta" (New York Post) – of opera today. Known equally for her poise, her sensuality, her voice’s unmistakable color, and her flawless coloratura technique, Strauss’ elegiac Four Last Songs are an exquisite vehicle for her expressive gifts
This is Anna Netrebko’s first recording of these gorgeous, iconic songs.
