More Details on Master Class with Julia Varady
Documentary and complete master class by Bruno Monsaingeon, with the participation of Julia Varady's students.
In 2003, after a career spanning nearly forty years, Julia Varady discreetly retired from the public stage. She now dedicates her time to teaching. While for most great singers the transition from performing to teaching generally follows signs of vocal deterioration, Julia Varady's voice is still dazzling. She sings out in full voice during her classes, with the same intensity and generosity of spirit that made her one of the very finest lyric sopranos of our time.
A must for all lovers of the art of singing!
The documentary combines scenes from the master class with personal statements by Julia Varady, talking about her life and way of teaching, and with scenes from a performance of Mozart arias with her husband, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, conducting.
Bonus: Complete master class with Julia Varady (110 mins)
