An Invitation to Countertenors from Daniel Gundlach

Lotte Lehman : Singing that Moved the Stars

Many opera fans lament the passing of the “golden age” of singing. This golden age, according to these mavens, reached its pinnacle in some previous generation, whether that of Maria Callas and Giuseppe di Stefano, Kirsten Flagstad and Lauritz Melchior, Enrico Caruso and Rosa Ponselle, or even before the era of recorded sound.
