I heard Christa Ludwig as Amneris in Vienna in the late fifties. She and Simionato were the best Amnerisses I ever heard.

I heard Christa Ludwig very often in Vienna in the late fifties. Her Cenerentola (in German!) was incredible, also her Eboli, Octavian, Dorabella, Carmen etc. She hardly put a foot wrong.

There was no greater mezzo vocal line in recorded history. Every tone sewn together so immaculately but still with superb expression and vividness. She also brings a different facet to Amneris's character too here- a bit more guarded, less intemperate and sensual.

Is this from the performance with Gloria Davy as Aida? Ludwig is a majestic Amneris with a great, solid middle voice and a brilliant top - perfect Amneris

Brava Ludwig! Wonderful document of a treasured artist. Even sung in German plenty of stylist singing with full ringing tone throughout. Who’s the tenor and what is the year and venue please. Thank you Lohengrin

This was a performance sung in German in 1961 in Berlin, the tenor is the great Wagnerian tenor Jess Thomas, they basically tried to stage a Wagnerian Aida

Haven’t listened to much of Christa Ludwig’s recordings beside the Callas Corelli Norma but I remember that you appreciate her dearly.. the German singing makes this unintelligible ( though German is my mother tongue..). To be honest Dominguez and then Simionato spoiled the role for all eternity to my ears, though I admit this isn’t at all bad.. reminds me of Barbieri singing Trovatore compared to Stignani.. it isn’t at all bad singing, on the contrary but still missing that certain something.. ofcourse if you compare it to any of the today’s singing it is in Olympean standards..;)

Madame Ludwig was a great Dramatic Mezzo. I don't enjoy Germanic or Nordic voices. Madame Ludwig was an exception to the rule. Arnold Bourbon Amaral
