with David Mellor.
Brigitte Fassbaender is at the pinnacle of her career as a singer of Lieder and opera, but today she invites us to step back to pre-war Germany and the generation of her father,
Willi Domgraf-Fassbaender , who sang at Glyndebourne in the 1930s. For many music-lovers, this era was a golden age of singing.
With recordings by the great tenors Joseph Schmidt , Peter Anders ,
Alfred Piccaver , Marcel Wittrisch , Franz Volker and Helge Roswaenge ; Maria Cebotari (soprano) and Willi Domgraf-Fassbaender (bass).
