Arleen Auger - W. A. Mozart Der Schauspieldirektor Mlle Silberklang's Aria "Bester Jüngling!"

W. A. Mozart: Der Schauspieldirektor
Mlle Silberklang's Aria "Bester Jüngling!"
Conductor: Karl Böhm
Staatskapelle Dresden
Recording:Dresden, Lukaskirche, 09/1973

Joyce Arleen Auger (September 13, 1939 - June 10, 1993) was an American soprano singer, admired for her ravishing, crystal-clear, lyric coloratura voice and interpretations of works by Bach, Handel, Haydn, Monteverdi, Gluck and Mozart.

Arleen Auger performed Mozart's Exsultate, Jubilate in Westminster Abbey on July 23, 1986 at the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson; she later recorded this work along with the Great Mass in C minor under Leonard Bernstein, in 1990. On December 5, 1991, the bicentenary of Mozart's death, she sang his Requiem with Cecilia Bartoli and the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Georg Solti in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna. Her over two hundred recordings includes the complete soprano cantatas of Bach and the works of Schoenberg.

Arleen Auger sang beautifully for more than a quarter century. She sang great music and never bowed or pandered to public taste. Arleen Auger was a true artist, steady and serious to the end.

I swear I had commented on this before. It is absolutely pure silver threads. Wonderful controlled vibratto...Just lovely, thank you for posting. Claudia

She makes it sound so easy, when this is an incredibly difficult. So well done her voice is my role model. An unachievable one, but this is what I will strive for.

I like Andrea's tone better, but the malismas in the high coluratura section sound so light and bouncy, just like a true soprano! Brava! :)
