About

The present album is a re-release of Bavarian broadcast recordings of 1953-56 featuring legendary bass-baritone George London at the height of his career. Upon its initial release, the album received glowing reviews from critics and fans, and this now can be enjoyed by a new generation of listeners. “(The) collection is vintage London all the way“ (American Record Guide) “The extracts from Aida and Die Walküre with Astrid Varnay are electrifying“ (BBC Music Magazine) “This is a worthy representation of a singer whose career was ended too soon.“ (International Record Review)

Reviews

“Bass baritone George London had a major voice, one that resonates with importance as soon as you hear it… In these recordings he never blusters, and he sings with verbal acuity, noble tone and dramatic verve… The remastered sound is excellent…” ****½

Francis Muzzu – Opera Now – November 2022

“… One of the truly great bass-baritones of the post-war era caught at the height of his powers.”

Göran Forsling – MusicWeb-International.com – 1 September 2022
