- Benjamin Britten dramatic scena from 1975, performed here by the late mezzo and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jukka-Pekka Saraste (London, 2003).
Here is a link to my playlist for Lorraine Hunt Lieberson: www.youtube.com...
Ah, she is so missed; the highest art of the voice! Always.
Wonderfully clear and bright and lucid and well recorded in a good acoustic.
Staggering use of dynamics in this difficult music. Lorraine Hunt Lieberson was one of the few singers who could tackle this. Thank you.
wonderful, wonderful singing- what a fabulous artist.
Incredible find. Thank you.
Heard her do this in NY at her Philharmonic debut with C Davis-around the same time.
Amazing.
Went back to see her and thank her for her perfromance in Les Troyens-very gracious, a singer and person of deep spirit-but also very modern, very California-we were looking forward to her next Met performances Orfeo-but she never made it that far
She was anything but gracious when I met her, wishing to set up an interview after a performance at Opéra de Lyon... I later realised that she was probably journeying towards the infinite & wasn't feeling at all good... but from her performance who could guess? 😥
One of the great singers of our time. Thanks for posting this "live" performance!
Alex Ross brought me here. Britten fucking rocks.
Her voice, if not her interpretation, sounds like an audio-copy of Baker's! Wow. Uncanny. Many thanks!
Still not moved by Britten. Lorraine Hunt Lieberson is wonderful though.
Yeah, Four Sea Interludes is a good pick. Also the beautiful Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings - Anthony Rolfe Johnson's recording is a desert island disc for me.
I saw Vickers do Peter Grimes and I was hooked. My favorite opera. Listen to the recording of him doing it. You need to take the thing as a whole. There are jewels of amazing moments in it, but it's the cumulative effect of the whole piece that just works.
So is he. Your feelings are yours & perhaps say more about you than about Britten?
His opera, Turn of the Screw, based on the Henry James Novel is quite riveting.
