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

The performance places her with Ilona Steingruber, Otto Wiener, Waldemar Kmentt, Hans Libert and Vienna Symphony forces.

Berg’s theatre asks for precision, character and alertness to a musical language in which every interval can carry dramatic meaning.
