Music : Lorraine at Emmanuel - Celebrating the lives of Craig Smith and Lorraine Hunt Lieberson
Rating: 
- a singer to cherish
as with her bach (ASIN: B0000AOVTI) and handel (ASIN: B00022LZW8) recitals, the late (and very much lamented) lorraine hunt lieberson reaches heights in interpretation here that go beyond singing, one can really speak of identification. captured in live recordings of items she has not recorded elsewhere (two bach arias and most of the role of dejanira from handels hercules), this is singing that not only moves the heart but captures the soul of the music. perfectly partnered by the orchestra of emmanuel music (where she started off as a viola player!), it is an experience profoundly moving. one can only hope that there will be more live recordings to emerge in the coming years, as sadly mrs hunt lieberson passed away two years ago and this cd only shows us once again what a wealth of talent the world has lost...
Rating: - Much beloved artist, who truly gave herself at her best
I think very few people with such a low profile approach in the operatic world held and still holds the iconic status that Lorraine achieved.
She did possess one of the most gorgeous voices of all time but she also had the qualities of the greatest singers: bear perfect technique and a fiery passion for everything she sang, but she would limit herself to pu that the service of the composer and the music.
She is a much missed artist and a beloved human being!
Thanks Lorraine, thanks a lot!
