Awards and reviews
January 2006
A live recording from Munich's Staatsoper in its 1960s heyday. Della Casa's creamy toned Arabella is near perfect and Fischer-Dieskau a deeply sympathetic Mandryka. Keilberth's spacious tempos allow this glorious score to breath deeply.
13th September 2008
Caught live in Munich in 1963, Della Casa is still in shining, sensuous voice. Amid a gallery of overwrought characters, her Arabella is the poised centre of the opera: self-possessed yet always lovable. No soprano on disc has quite equalled her radiant serenity in the final apotheosis.
