CD Reviews

A wonderful recital

opernnarr | Carrboro, NC USA | 05/08/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Julia Varady is a Romanian-born singer of Hungarian descent who has been active in Germany for the last twenty-five years, although she retired from the stage recently. (She's also married to Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.) This was her first Lieder recital, recorded in the early 1980s, and it presents a healthy, generous voice of almost spinto propotions in a repertoire very well suited to her interpretive gifts. The voice has a mezzo-like richness, capable of wide range of tone colors, but most impressive are her free, vibrant, easy top notes. She's best described as an energetic, passionate singer who lives the drama of the texts. The result is impetuous and often thrilling, if lacking a little in subtlety. It's a shame Varady isn't better known outside of Europe, because this is a world-class voice."
