Overview

This remarkable collection showcases the timeless artistry of Helge Rosvaenge, one of the most beloved tenors of the 20th century. Spanning recordings from 1929 to 1932, this edition highlights his collaborations with esteemed colleagues like Hedwig von Debicka and Emmi Leisner, alongside the Staatsoper Berlin Orchestra.

Renowned for his unmatched vocal technique, Rosvaenge captivates with performances from iconic operas such as Madame Butterfly and La Bohème. His dramatic intensity and soaring voice breathe life into these timeless duets, embodying the heart of classical opera.

Included are personal favorites such as Puccini's tender "O du süßestes Mädchen" and Bizet's dramatic "Sonntag war’s... Ich seh die Mutter dort." Also featured are charming standalone tracks, like "Still wie die Nacht" by Carl Bohm, offering a lyrical counterpoint to the grand opera pieces.
