## Description

The German baritone Hermann Prey was born in Berlin in 1929. In a career that spanned some 48 years, he became one of the most popular singers of his time and formed a great bond with his audiences through his unaffected and natural style of singing and his personal charm and acting ability. His repertoire was extremely wide and encompassed all the classic German Lieder, as well as a whole range of operatic roles from the lively Figaro of both Mozart and Rossini to more serious baritone parts in Verdi and Wagner, although it is in the lighter roles that he is most affectionately remembered. He enjoyed great success in the world's major opera houses including Vienna, Bayreuth, Salzburg, Munich, Milan and New York, and also appeared frequently on German TV and in opera films. He died in 1998.

    Outstanding!
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2013*

What a wonderful collection of Hermann Prey's career! He was always my favroite "Figaro" and "Papageno" in years past and I still have tapes of these opera performances. They are a bit worn and don't show any of todays digistal qualities, yet I still enjoy them just the same. Finding this 10-disc set on Amazon was truly a surprise as recordings like these are very hard to find anymore. The remastered songs and arias are clear and sound beautiful on my Bose. I have been enjoying most of the set since I received it a few weeks ago, from the Lieder Cycles to the folk songs and arias. I still have a couple of discs I haven't listened to yet but I'm sure I will love them just as much. We have preactically no more Video and Music stores in our area except for Walmart, who sells the run of the mill of todays recordings. So I always turn to Amazon when I get nostalgic for some old recordings and 95% of the time, I find what I'm looking for. Another plus - the prices are always excellent and, as in this case, surprisingly cheap! Great quality at very little cost. Thanks, Amazon!BTW - this set is beautifully packaged, with each selection listed on the individual sleeves. A true treasure and keepsake!

    One of the best EMI Icon collections
  

*by J***) on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2015*

This 10 cd is  fairly evenly divided between lieder and arias. While CD 1 contains 46 minutes of Schubert lieder and CD 2 aWinterreise, Volume 2 of Prey's Philips Lied Edition contains six 6ds  of  Schubert, including 49 lieder with texts by various authors,lieder written by Goethe and Schiller, and the three major cycles. The Philips box is currently difficult to locate. For those whoadmire Prey, these sets are treasurable.  I find that he exhibits great range and a daunting variety of dramatic skills fromlight comedy to deep tragedy.  Disc #8 includes Mozart arias including a contribution from the heavenly Erika Koth (trythe Prey/Koth la ci darem la mano from Don Giovanni). Prey and Koth also sing a duet from the Barber of Seville.  Some non-Germanarias and songs include works by Rossini, Bizet, Leoncavallo, Tchaikovsky, Loewe, Porter, Berlin and Rodgers.  Prey appearsat home in all of these venues. Of course one must enjoy the voice itself, but I do and  consider Prey a great artist as well.

This CD set (containing 10 disks) presents an outstanding overview of the multifaceted talents of Hermann Prey. This collection represents an excellent bargain for such a wealth of songs interpreted by a truly great singer. Highly recommended!
