Product DescriptionNathalie Stutzmann is a French contralto, especially noted as a recital and concert
performer, but also seen on European opera stages. She sings a wide variety of music,
including art songs of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Baroque opera and oratorio,
and the symphonies and song cycles of Mahler. Her particular interest in German lieder is
unusual for a French singer, but not surprising, since she studied with two of the finest
singers of that repertory in recent memory Hans Hotter and Christa Ludwig. Her
discography includes over 60 titles and her volumes of Schumann lieder, and mélodies
by Chausson, Fauré, and Poulenc are representative of her best recital work.
