The digital album of the series "The Essentials" honors the great mezzo-soprano on the occasion of her 90th birthday with 25 titles that reflect the enormous spectrum of her voice. Whether Bach or Wagner, opera or song - Christa Ludwig was always convincing by a touching emotional expressiveness and the great versatility of her voice and is therefore rightly considered one of the most important interpreters of our time.
