Very nice on-air tribute to Madame Sodestrom on the Lyric Opera of Chicago live broadcast this afternoon of Katya Kabanova. Recorded it on minidisc off the live WFMT feed as I was at a terffic CSO concert at the same time (Anja Silja’s ex, von Dohnanyi conducted, Bartok, Mozart, Schumann) and a young pianist named Paul Lewis (cute, looks like Villarzon). Matilla was the Katya today. Will give the mp3 a listen-to later.
Anny Schlemm sang four roles in Rosenkavalier too, with a gap of 27 years between the first (Sophie) and the last (Annina):
