Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Madame Grace Bumbry's 2001 performance at the Theatre Musical de Paris-Chatelet is one of the most phenominal performances I have seen in recent years. Undoubtedly one of the greatest talents of our times, Ms. Bumbry's voice is still in fabulously fine fettle. The DVD release of this recital tribute to her teacher Madame Lotte Lehmann includes Schubert's Die Taubenpost, Brahms' Auf dem Kirchhofe, and Strauss' Standchen, in addition to several interviews with Ms. Bumbry and her very fine accompanist Helmut Deutsch.
A combination of fine singing, physical allure which has only gotten better with time, and old world grace, affirm Opera News' 1981 assessment of Ms. Bumbry as simply "Amazing Grace." The nuanced singing Ms. Bumbry presents here is the sign of a singer who truly understands that which she sings, and whose understanding is translated into interpretations that touch and inspire audiences the world over.
This DVD is sure to please the most die hard Bumbry fans and will certainly impress any persons who are in doubt that this diva still has it!
A MUST HAVE!
