Background: Herbert von Karajan had joined forces with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the Singverein in November 1954 to perform the same composer's Requiem. Even at this relatively early date, he was able to bring together a team of international soloists.Antonietta Stella, had made her spectacular début as Leonora in La forza del destino in Rome in 1951 and who was often to be heard in Italian roles in many of the world's great opera houses. With her radiant soprano voice, she ensured that under Karajan's direction the 'Libera me' left an overwhelming impression.As Clemens Höslinger wrote at the time, the 'Hostias' was sung 'as if by a vox coelestis' by the tenor Nicolai Gedda, who in one of his earliest appearances in Vienna gave proof of his unique gifts and musicality, qualities that were to enthral music lovers for decades to come.
