Christa Ludwig, who has died aged 93, was one of the outstanding singers of her generation, acclaimed alike in lieder and opera, where she was highly regarded for her matchless interpretations of an impressively wide range of roles.
Making her debut at the Vienna State Opera in 1955, she remained with the company for more than 30 years, giving 769 performances of 42 roles. There she won the undying affection and admiration of the public, the whipped-cream quality of her voice possibly reminding the Viennese of their favourite
Schlagsahne.
She habitually named three conductors from whom she had learned everything she needed to know about music: Karl Böhm for precision, Herbert von Karajan for beauty of sound and legato, and Leonard Bernstein for the expressive quality and joy of music.
