Irmgard Barth
Irmgard Barth was a singer represented in the Pristine catalogue through Richard Strauss’s Salome under Joseph Keilberth, paired with Clemens Krauss’s Aus Italien.
The performance places her in a cast including Inge Borkh, Hans Hotter, Max Lorenz and Lorenz Fehenberger.
Because wider public biographical detail is limited, this note is deliberately tied to the recording evidence and its Strauss context.
