Rosette Anday was an Austrian contralto, active in opera and concert repertory during the first half of the twentieth century. She was associated with Vienna and the German-language vocal tradition.

In the Pristine catalogue she appears in Bruno Walter’s 1936 Vienna Philharmonic recording of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde, with Charles Kullman.

Anday’s singing brought dark tone, poise and central-European depth to Mahler’s late song-symphony world.

Her page is justified by secure identity and catalogue context. Anday gives the Mahler shelf a contralto voice with twilight in the grain.
