Description

Dame 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. Honored by Queen Elisabeth II, she not only posessed an unmistakble 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 photography from her private estate that together provides a lasting reflection of her personality and elegance. The core pictures were taken by the Viennese photographer to the stars, Lillian Fayer, who for many years was the trusted companion of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf.
