Music reviews of Songs by Mahler, Handel & Peter Lieberson
Music Review: Lorraine Hunt Lieberson: Still Very much In Memory
Rating: 5 Stars
Few singers have been so cherished after an early demise as Lorraine Hunt Lieberson. She was, and thanks to recordings, remains a consummate artist. Not only did she have the gift of a ravishing sound to her voice, but she also had the intelligence and sensitivity to make everything she performed sound as though it was a premiere. She is profoundly missed.
Amazon.com has continued to stock the Wigmore Hall recordings of such great artists as Lieberson, Christine Brewer, and Angelika Kirschschlager - recordings that not only show the grandeur of the acoustic of this great hall but also the quality of respect the audience pays to the performer. In this recording Lieberson is accompanied by Roger Vignoles in a lush reading of Mahler's 'Rückert Lieder', as well as arias from Handel's 'Theodora', Peter Lieberson's Rilke Songs (2) and an aria from his 'Ashoka's Dream'. She then honors her audience with Brahms' 'Unbewegte laue Luft' and one of the most moving performances of the spiritual 'Deep River' we are likely to hear as encores. It is a great performance, beautifully recorded, and a fine tribute to a great lady of music. Grady Harp, October 10
Description of Songs by Mahler, Handel & Peter Lieberson
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.We are indebted to Wigmore Hall for preserving this 1998 recital by the great, beloved mezzo-soprano Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, who was tragically taken from us in 2006. Now that her recordings are all we have left, this one is particularly valuable: it captures the vibrant immediacy of a live performance. The concentrated, spellbound silence of the audience is like a tangible presence. It also captures the incomparable beauty of Hunt Lieberson's voice: a dark alto in the low register, a warm mezzo in mid-range, crowned by a radiant top. Seamless, focused, and pure, she could make it float ethereally or glow with intensity; her intonation and breath-control were impeccable. The program illustrates the breadth of her repertoire. Baroque opera was among her specialties, and the record includes two slow Handel arias, one a lament, one a prayer. She carries the influence of the bel canto style and its tendency to swell notes with delayed vibrato over into the Five Mahler Songs on Rückert poems, making them sound a bit fussy and calculated, particularly the first and last, which are extremely slow. In the fourth, however, the initial despair and final heroic resignation come out beautifully. In both these groups, one misses the orchestra, especially because the pianist, an admirable, empathetic partner, sounds distant and subdued. The program ends with works by her husband, Peter Lieberson: two songs on Rilke poems and an aria from the opera Ashoka's Dream. No composer could wish for a more persuasive advocate. She brings out their majesty, passion, and inward expressiveness with total identification. As encores, the spiritual "Deep River," the first verse in the low register, the second an octave higher, is deeply devout; Brahms' "Unbewegte laue Luft" starts softly and ends in a burst of glory. --Edith Eisler
