About
Marking the 80th birthday of Gundula Janowitz in August 2017, this box set celebrates her clear and honest soprano voice through a selection of her opera, oratorio and Lieder recordings. The favourite lyric soprano of Herbert von Karajan, Janowitz set the standard for sopranos with her legendary recordings of Mozart and R. Strauss which are still unsurpassed in the catalogue.
• A 14-CD original jackets collection
• The ultimate selection of Gundula Janowitz’ recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, Decca and Philips including opera and sacred arias, oratorio and Lieder
• The first CD release of an interview from 1969 with Janowitz about singing the Countess in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro and about her foundation for young singers
• Includes two recordings of R. Strauss Vier letzte Lieder: Bernard Haitink (1968) and Herbert von Karajan (1973)
• 60-page booklet with new liner notes in English/German/French and previously unpublished artist photos
