Op Die Berg

This recording from the German opera repertoire brings together what defined the classical vocal art of the twentieth century: soprano Erna Berger, baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, bass Gottlob Frick and tenor Rudolf Schock form the vocal core of a production conducted by Wilhelm Schüchter. Their performances are supported by the Chor der Städtischen Oper Berlin and the Berliner Symphoniker, an ensemble that approached opera tradition with seriousness and craftsmanship.

Opera as a genre rests on vocal perfection and dramatic power, with each singer carrying their part of the story. Fischer-Dieskau and Frick were legendary baritones and basses in the German opera sphere; Berger and Schock brought clarity and lyricism to their roles. Discover these masterworks of European opera tradition and learn how great singers performed their art.
