In the history of music, Lucia Popp is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Lucia Popp as Slovak operatic soprano.
Lucia Popp was born at Záhorská Ves in 1939. Her recorded nationality is Czech Republic. She trained at Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava.
Broadcast radio, the LP and the touring circuit made this the first era in which a musician could reach a mass audience without ever meeting it.
She worked as opera singer.
The instruments recorded are voice.
Her work is classed as opera.
Performance is the most perishable art and recording the most durable; a career sits between the two.
Recognition followed: Grand Cross of the Order of the White Double Cross (2016).
That the work came out of Czech Republic shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Lucia Popp died in 1993, aged 54. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
