Gundula Janowitz

about

Gundula Janowitz (born August 2, 1937 in Berlin, Germany) is an Austrian (lyric soprano) singer of operas, oratorios and concerts.. Gundula Janowitz studied at the Graz Conservatory in Austria, and had already begun to sing at the highest level by the end of the 1950s (Die Schöpfung, with Herbert von Karajan in 1960). In 1959, Karajan engaged her as "Barbarina" in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) at the Vienna State Opera, of which she became a permanent member in 1962. In the 1960s and 1970s, she became one of the most popular singers in her field internationally and she developed a comprehensive and widely-followed discography of works ranging from Johann Sebastian Bach to Richard Strauss, in cooperation with the most prominent conductors (her mentor at times, Karajan, as well as Otto Klemperer, Eugen Jochum, Leonard Bernstein, Rafael Kubelik, Karl Böhm, Georg Solti, Carlos Kleiber, etc.) User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
