Wasn't she great?
The single greatest singer that I believe that I heard live was the fabulous Christa Ludwig. I only heard her a handful of times, but each time was an experience not to be forgotten. The last was her last at the Met when she sang "Deiner ew'gen Gattin" with her back to the audience. Overpowering!Get thee to the BBC Radio 3 site, click on the Radio Player and listen to the archived "Voices" program with a charming interview and some great singing.

Over on my blog, Christa Ludwig wins most of our informal "best of" arguments every single time, that's for sure!
Her Lieder Eines Fahrenden Geselle/ Kindertoten Lieder, ah, now that's true greatness in one recording! (And my childhood FAVORITE vocal recording, btw.)
