Music reviews of Lorraine at Emmanuel
Music Review: Truly beautiful music making
Rating: 5 Stars
The singing and orchestral playing are exceptional, and the repertory is quite unusual, especially the Handel excerpts from Hercules. Lorraine Hunt Lieberson gets inside the essence of the music as well as singing very beautifully. The flutist in the first Bach cantata aria produces a most unusual and seamless sound, quite unlike anyone I've heard in years.
Description of Lorraine at Emmanuel
The loss of Lorraine Hunt Lieberson to cancer a couple of years ago is still being felt and spoken of in the classical music world. She was a beautiful performer with an easily produced, expressive mezzo; she never went for a cheap effect - she took the notes and the text and wedded one to the other. This CD, of music by Bach and Handel, is handsome and elegant - and sometimes more. It opens and closes with relaxed Bach arias; the first has a flute surrounding and supporting the voice and the last, with its syncopated rhythm, lolls and comforts. The rest of the CD is devoted to Handel's oratorio Hercules, and contains almost all of the music for Dejanira, the wife of the hero. She believes him unfaithful, and each aria introduces us to another facet of her emotional instability. Her sorrow is palpable in "When beauty sorrow's livery wears" and her descent into madness, in "Where shall I fly" is both touching and terrifying. The separation between character and singer was always slim with this artist, and her commitment here is as complete as her singing is beautiful and touching. This is a very special release. -- Robert LevineGeneral CDs
