Ilona Hollendonner was a singer represented in the Pristine catalogue through Clemens Krauss’s 1935 recording of Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos.

Her appearance places her in a cast with Viorica Ursuleac, Erna Berger, Helge Rosvaenge and other singers from the German radio and opera world.

Strauss’s operatic writing asks supporting singers to carry character, timing and precise German diction within an intricately balanced theatrical design.
