Portrait Of Marilyn Horne (6)

Ritratto Di Marilyn Horne (Portrait Of Marilyn Horne), a 1994 documentary produced and directed by Nigel Watts for Italian Classica TV. While the host speaks in Italian, most of the video is in English with Italian subtitles and includes interviews with the diva herself, conductor Henry Lewis (her ex-husband), author Jane Scovell (co-writer of her autobiography), colegues soprano Dame Joan Sutherland and bass-baritone Samuel Ramey. The program features the music of Rossini, Bellini, Vivaldi, Bizet, Copland and many others (both classical and showtunes) in excerpts from Horne's many recitals, operatic performances, TV appearances and masterclasses. A wonderful document about a truely great artist. The most celebrated mezzo of the 20th century, she almost single-handedly revived the forgotten masterpieces of Rossini and brought Handel's operas to American audiences. She was also (and continues to be) a tremendous influence on American mezzos and countertenors alike.

The high note was Caballe and a young Fleming!

I'm a little bit disappointed by dropping Marilyn Horne's career as one of all-time greatest Lied singer. At her soprano period she sung Richard Strauss Vier letzte Lieder (Four Last Songs), later as mezzo the other famous orchestra Lieder cycles Wesendonck and by Mahler as well as solo voice parts "Urlicht" and "O Mensch!" at Mahler's 2nd and 3rd symphonies and at "Das Lied von der Erde".

Sadly she is a horrible person behind the facade.

Care to elaborate?

[@flav2689]

Yeah, yeah… Her many former students and friends say otherwise.
