Awards and reviews
10th July 2013
The recordings are taken from the archives of Bavarian Radio, dating from between 1956 and 1962. Grümmer was now well into her forties, but her voice was still radiant, fresh and technically secure...Pamina’s aria from Die Zauberflöte is sensitively sculpted with Grümmer achieving a purity of tone and graceful simplicity. It is a captivating performance.
