Hans Libert was a singer represented in the Pristine catalogue through Herbert Häfner’s 1951 recording of Berg’s Lulu.

The performance places him within a rare early post-war document of Berg’s opera, alongside Ilona Steingruber, Otto Wiener and Vienna Symphony forces.

Berg’s vocal writing requires precision, character and the ability to negotiate a modern musical language without losing theatrical shape.

This page is modest but useful, giving a securely identified catalogue artist a marker in an important modern-opera recording.
