Montserrat Caballé - R. Strauss: DER ROSENKAVALIER, Da geht er hin, Barcelona 1984

THE SONGBIRD: Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé (1933 - 2018) was one of the world's leading classical singers for over three decades, from her headline-grabbing Lucrezia Borgia in New York in 1965 (as a replacement for Marilyn Horne) to her appearances in concert and pop venues in the late 1990s. She made her debut in Basel as Mimi in 1956 (again as a replacement). Several of her early appearances were in German repertoire such as in "The Magic Flute," and as Salome and Arabella, but after the Borgia triumph, she branched out into Italian bel canto and verismo works, eventually singing nearly the entire standard lyric, spinto, florid, and dramatic repertoires (as well as many obscure works) across the globe. She also made dozens of high-profile commercial recordings. This is from a performance on December 9, 1984 in Barcelona, with Uwe Mund conducting. Her Sophie was Helen Donath, but I don't have any music with her. THE MUSIC: "Der Rosenkavalier" premiered in Dresden in 1911 as an immediate success, and continues to be a popular offering for opera companies able to handle the lavish production values and large cast. The comic opera with sentimental undertones has lush melodic writing with many waltz themes, and features three glorious roles for women that form a sort of love triangle: the Marschallin, an aristocrat and lyric soprano; Count Octavian, a noble trouser role for mezzo-soprano; and Sophie, a young woman and a high light soprano. The Marschallin has two sections of solo singing in Act 1 — this elegant, intimate aria is often referred to as a monologue due to its conversational style.
