About

A singer who inspired the greatest admiration and affection, Victoria de los Ángeles was, in the words of Opera magazine, “one of the supreme vocal artists of the 20th century”. In the opera house, the recital hall and on recordings, she captured her audience’s heart with a voice of beauty and warmth and interpretations of grace and sincerity. This 59-CD box unites all the recordings in her Warner Classics catalogue, made between 1948 and 1977, and encompasses complete operas, collections of arias and a rich treasury of song, above all from the soprano’s native Spain. “Communication should be the most important motivation for a singer,” she said, “My only goal is to ‘talk’ to people through my singing so we can all enjoy the music together.”
