Heidi Krall
Heidi Krall was a mezzo-soprano represented in the Pristine catalogue through Metropolitan Opera Wagner broadcasts from the 1950s and 1960s.
Her appearances include Parsifal under Stiedry and Leinsdorf’s Ring cycle, placing her in casts with Astrid Varnay, George London, Hans Hotter, Birgit Nilsson and Jon Vickers.
Her work belongs to the Met’s ensemble Wagner tradition, where even smaller roles require vocal steadiness...
