  Lucia Popp (Soprano) - Short Biography

 Amazon.com: Lucia Popp: Music: Antonin Dvorak,Edvard Grieg,George Frideric Handel,Franz Lehar,Gustav Mahler,Wolfgang ...
Considering the exceptional voice, clarity, sensitivity and emotional intensity with which she performs all the songs on this album, the opera world must have been extremely shocked and saddened to lose one of its brightest and most exceptional talents, especially just a few months after the death of the great mezzo-soprano Tatyana Troyanos.
As a lasting testament to her artistry, this CD represents a wide ranging repertoire from Mahler, R. Strauss, J.Strauss, Mozart, Lehar, Wagner, Dvorak and many others, showing the great diversity of voice that Lucia Popp possessed, something relatively unusual for what might be classed as a light soprano voice.
Indeed, it was with this aria that I was first intoduced to the sublime voice of Lucia Popp and without hearing the track first hand, it is difficult to describe the emotions that she manages to evoke.

 Lucia POPP recital IMG ARTISTS BBC LEGENDS BBCL 4148-2 [CH]: Classical CD Reviews- July 2004 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
To be absolutely fair we should compare studio performances with studio performances, live with live; but Popp’s name became something of a household word while Wiens, much though she was/is appreciated especially by musicians, didn’t quite, and these discs seem to suggest that the public’s judgement was about right.
The public almost forgot that Popp was from Slovakia (we expect singers from those parts to have long and unpronounceable names), but Bratislava was her home town and Slovak (which is very close to Czech) was presumably her first language
I should need to assemble more Popp recordings, both studio and live, to answer this — and I am sure it would be an enriching and pleasurable experience.
