The great lyrical singers Europe

 

Belkina or Schwarzkopf? Lind or Netrebko? It is difficult for inquiring minds to tackle a field as large and diverse as the lyrical art, covering 10 centuries of history: there are many lyrical artists in the world. Making a selection of musicians, such as a “top 10” for example, is a difficult and subjective exercise. A musical selection is often the expression of personal preferences or artistic opinions, very interesting but also very different according to critics or musicologists, or simply influenced by the context: will an English lyrical singer not be instinctively privileged by an English critic?

For example: in France, Roberto Alagna, a French tenor, is more popular than the Russian mezzo-soprano Elena Obraztsova, who is more renowned throughout the world.

Lyrical singers

a. Timeline

b. Top 10, the most famous

c. Some others also well-known

The information presented below (timeline, top 10, alphabetical index) is absolutely neutral. They are the result of a strictly quantitative analysis, based only on global and independent sources. They were treated without favouring any particular musician or excluding any artist deemed less relevant by elitism, conformism or for any other reason.

Timeline of lyrical singers in Europe

Whoever wants to discover opera does not always have an experienced music lover, an expert or an educator at his or her side to support and guide him or her in this field. So : Belkina (Ukrainian singer) or Schwarzkopf (German opera soprano) ? Carreras (Spanish opera singer) or Zakaryan (Armenian soprano) ? However, the knowledge available about musicians is enormous. It was processed to select the 10, 25, 50... most popular lyrical singers around the world, for those living or having lived en Europe, . And this objectively, and for the first time (soclassiq exclusivity).

Lyrical singers rendered as a timeline to bring a little perspective:
