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 it's 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.
