Rita Streich’s bright pearly voice, light, effortless coloratura and naturally vivacious and charming personality come across in this delightful collection of musical bonbons drawn from her immensely popular recordings of the 1950’s. She was adept in several languages and sang an eclectic mixture of vocal waltzes, songs and arias from operas, opéras comiques and operettas. ‘…she delights the ear from start to finish.’ (Gramophone)
