This remarkable collection highlights the career of the great American soprano, Benita Valente collecting performances from both concerts and the recording studio. The program was made in consultation Ms. Valente. Vocal art of the highest order!
Reviews:
“The recordings are fully worthy of the performances and there is a fine appreciation on the singer by Robert Baxter in the booklet...this one is certainly worth anyone’s money.” - MusicWeb International
“As Baxter writes about her ability, ‘She spoke serenely but eloquently through the music she sang.’ I certainly agree that this is an eloquent recital, and strongly recommend it.” - ArkivMusic
