Anne Sofie von Otter / 10 Classic Albums (11 CDs) Includes an arrangement of Korngold's beautiful "Marietta's Lied"! World-renowned mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter is also famous for her eagerness to constantly challenge herself with new repertoire. From Baroque opera to Elvis Costello, von Otter has introduced a diverse range of musical styles on stage and in recordings for over 30 years, and her work has always been highly praised. This box set features 10 classic albums selected from von Otter's Deutsche Grammophon recordings. As a special bonus (?), a disc featuring excerpts of her arias from Handel's "Ariodante," a complete recording that, while not widely known, is recognized as a masterpiece by von Otter, has been added, making it an 11-disc set. The recordings date from 1989 to 2002, capturing von Otter's singing from her mid-30s to mid-40s. However, the box set seems to use a recent photograph of her.
