Elisabeth Schwarzkopf

Description:

"Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (1915-2006) was a Flower Maiden in Wagner's Parsifal, in her opera debut. As Marchallin in Strauss's Rosenkavalier she made history. This book is a homage to one of the greatest singers of the last century. Honoured by Queen Elizabeth II, she not only possessed an unmistakeable timbre, but also a bewitching beauty. This pictorial volume, on which the soprano collaborated right up until the time of her sudden death, contains hundreds of costume and portrait photographs from her private estate that provide a lasting reflection of her personality and elegance."--Global Books in Print.
