Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This recording of works by Berlioz, Chausson and Schoenberg features Dame Janet Baker singing music that could have been written for her supreme talents--that nobility and evenness of sound, the control of emotion, the ability to spin long lines, and that special feeling for words. These are live Royal Festival Hall performances, the Chausson and Berlioz dating from 1975, the Schoenberg from 1963. Chausson's nostalgia-laden Poème receives from Baker just the right balance of passion and subtlety--one critic in the hall wrote of the audience being "spellbound". Berlioz's Les Nuits d'été is shaped quite magically, the orchestral sound beautifully textured, detailed lovingly observed. The despair and darkness underlying the four central movements are movingly conveyed. The Schoenberg takes us to the early years of Baker's career, the voice fresh and lighter in timbre. The death-haunted "Song of the Wood Dove" finds her identifying totally with music rarely performed at the time. --Andrew Green
