Sarah Traubel makes her recorded debut for Sony Classical with an album entitled 'Arias for Josepha', the soprano who created the role of the Queen of the Night in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte ('The Magic Flute'). She's joined on the recording by the Prague Philharmonia conducted by Jochen Rieder and it's now available digitally.

In this latest Gramophone Podcast, Sarah Traubel talked to James Jolly about the programme and the various composers who wrote arias for Josepha, how she fills her time under lockdown and her two illustrious relatives.
