Lorraine Hunt Lieberson: A Tribute


As a tribute to the artistry of Lorraine Hunt Lieberson (1954-2006), this retrospective gathers together many of her finest performances of arias and duets recorded during the singer’s acclaimed association with harmonia mundi. “A riveting singer known for her fearsome vocal and dramatic power, whether in opera or the cantatas of Bach…” – The Los Angeles Times.

En hommage à l'art de Lorraine Hunt Lieberson (1954-2006), cette sélection discographique rassemble quelques-uns des plus beaux airs et duos que la chanteuse avait enregistrés durant sa collaboration avec harmonia mundi. Lors de sa disparition, Le Monde célébrait “cette femme intelligente, formidable musicienne, actrice née”, soulignant que “les Français connaissaient bien l’artiste, qui était apparue dans des spectacles où sa stature vocale et physique de tragédienne se distinguait”.

Als Hommage an die Kunst von Lorraine Hunt Lieberson (1954-2006) versammelt diese Retrospektive viele ihrer besten Arien- und Duett-Einspielungen, die sie während ihrer fruchtbaren Zusammenarbeit mit harmonia mundi aufgenommen hat. „Wie immer besticht Hunt durch perfekte Intonation, makelloses Legato und ein berückendes Timbre. Und sie versteht es, Schmerz und Trauer in Tönen zu gestalten wie kaum eine ihrer Konkurrentinnen. Wenn sie anfängt zu singen, verschwindet sie als Person. Musik war für sie Ausdruck einer existentiellen Erfahrung ... Die Zeit bleibt stehen und man hält den Atem an.“ – Opernwelt
