Erin Wall - Frühlingsfeier by Richard Strauss (CSOTW, 29th June 2003)

Erin Wall (1975-2020) performing "Frühlingsfeier" by Richard Strauss during the final of the 2003 Cardiff Singer Of The World competition.
Sadly Erin died of cancer in 2020, after a successful international career. We take this opportunity to celebrate her artistry and to remember her.
The Canadian-American soprano appeared with the Lyric Opera of Chicago company in fourteen productions from 2001 through 2018. She was particularly known and admired for her performances in the operas of Mozart and Strauss, and performed leading roles as a guest artist at houses around the world, including the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, and the Opéra de Paris.

The beautiful Erin Wall. 🌹
Here she had already that immense talent and gorgeous instrument.
Perfect for Strauss, as she recorded later in the career.
Gone much to soon.
R.I.P.🕯🙏

Yes perfect for Strauss. Beautifully said. Now I must find her singing Four Last Songs.

@Susan-lf2hl she recorded it, there is a full album.
Sadly there isn't that much from her official.
Always hoping that in time, there will come a box with perhaps radio, pirate recordings. She was otherworldly!
