Maria Stader, born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1911 and later making Switzerland her home, was a lyric soprano renowned for her exquisite Mozart interpretations. Blessed with a silvery, true-toned voice that was beautifully trained, Stader's artistry transcended the opera stage, although she never fully capitalized on her operatic potential. Her recordings, available on platforms like Naxos and Spotify, offer a glimpse into her remarkable talent, with a monthly listenership of over 7.6K on the latter. Stader's discography, spanning genres like requiem and choral music, is a testament to her enduring legacy in the classical music world. She passed away in Zürich in 1999, leaving behind a musical heritage that continues to inspire both serious collectors and curious newcomers alike.
