Emma Kirkby: The Unsung Heroine - The South Bank Show ITV 2007

This video is a documentary with an extended interview and series of performances by the incomparable English soprano Dame Emma Kirkby. From The South Bank Show.
Emma is my all-time favorite soprano! She's the artist who almost single-handedly changed the way we listen to voices in early music. Her pure soprano features on almost 200 studio recordings and she is well known to almost every admirer of medieval, renaissance, and baroque music for her beautiful voice and amazing artistry. The show features works of Henry Purcell, Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, Jean-Baptiste Boësset, Claudio Monteverdi, Hildegard Von Bingen, and John Dowland.
