Kiri Te Kanawa - Songs of Inspiration
Kiri Te Kanawa - Songs of Inspiration (Decca 476 2456)
SKU: 03184
Price:
AU $8.95


  
Label: Decca Cat. No.: 476 2456 Medium: CD No. Discs: 1

For their 1989 festival the committee of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir invited Dame Kiri Te Kanawa to join the Choir and the Utah Symphony Orchestra under maestro Julius Rudel. The choice of repertoire remained open, and Dame Kiri selected a highly appropriate program of inspirational works that she could share with the choir and its international audience.

It was not surprising that, within hours, every one of the 6000 seats in the Tabernacle had been taken, and the overflow from this capacity audience had to be accommodated in the large Assembly Hall next door. Fortunately the concerts were also broadcast by a local radio station, and a television crew video-taped the event for future network presentation. The two concerts of 23 and 24 February were recorded and there was an additional recording session later, so that individual items could be 'topped and tailed' to remove the enthusiastic applause and any other unwanted 'audience participation' that might intrude upon enjoyment of the finished recording.

The music seems tailor-made for Dame Kiri's cream-and-honey vocalising, and the two rarities - by Beethoven and Franck - nicely balance the popular nature of the rest of the program.
For some time unavailable, this recording is now restored to the Decca catalogue at bargain price!
