Music reviews of Recital: Lorraine Hunt Lieberson at Ravinia

Music Review: A Voice That Captures The Spirituality Within The Words And The Music!
Rating: 5 Stars

I discovered the radiance and sincerity of Lieberson's voice at a concert she gave in Amsterdam while I was visiting the city on my thirtieth birthday. It was an experience of revelation for me and one I have never forgotten.

This recording, "Recital at Ravinia", displays Lieberson's rare found ability to capture the spirituality within the words and the music. In the songs by Brahms she conveys the drama and passion with remarkable depth, heart-warming affection and richly expressive characterisation. Her approach to the works of Debussy reflect each songs withdrawn poetry and fantasy with an ease and delicacy that suggests, once more, a wholly exceptional artist fully at home in the composer's sound world.

The ear is welcomed to Handel and Mozart by Lieberson's intimate sound with sophisticated grading of dynamics, displays of bravura that deserve to be heard more often, and how important pianist Peter Serkin's arsenal is when Lieberson needs to showcase the dramatic elements of the text, and demonstrates virtuosic climaxes with absolute calculation. In the songs by Thacker, Burleigh and Telson, Lorraine's command of their varying musical styles conveys a sense of rich enterprise and inclusiveness from start to finish.
Throughout this recording Lieberson's wondrous artistic blessings are utilised. Elegantly tapered phrasing, effortless musical grace, dramatic passion, and all the imaginative freedom to concentrate fully on the heart of the music, makes one come away dazzled by the unique elan of these magnificent performances.

"The death of Lorraine Hunt Lieberson was a tragic loss to the world of the performing arts,thus making this recording one to be cherished and forever treasured."

Description of Recital: Lorraine Hunt Lieberson at Ravinia

Lorraine Hunt Lieberson displays her own special sense of drama in a program on the theme of love, ranging over several centuries and covering every facet of this universal emotion. "Lieberson's vocal mastery, understanding of text and how to convey its meaning, combined with the warm, richly colored timbre of her voice, exemplified in this simple song (Track 15- Burleigh's 'Deep River') , are the same qualities you'll hear applied with the same degree of care and skill, in every other selection on this recital, a concert performance from Ravinia (Illinois). Whether it's the fuller textures and overt drama of the three Brahms song or the airer contemplative atmosphere of Debussy's Trois chansons de Bilitis, Lieberson's voice seems the perfect vehicle for this at once most intimate and universal form of communication.
