Final act of Otello with Vickers and Serafin, final moments of Peter Grimes( again Vickers), 2nd movement of Barber’s Violin Concerto with Stern and Bernstein and Vaughan Williams Fantasia on a theme of Thomas Tallis.
She was a wonderful singer. Sad what happened to her.I only discovered Lorraine Hunt Lieberson recently, I've a reviewer to thank for it, he also pointed me to the El Nino album, i have a lot of John Adams Albums but not this one, it's on order so i'm looking forward to hearing it. I've had a few "moments" listening to Hunt Lieberson over Christmas.
John Adams Century Rolls always gets me, Bjork's All is Full of Love, Mica Levi's Love, Some of David Bowie's later songs, Where are we Now? brings back some memories

I agree.She has a very human voice that communicates with tenderness and fragility.Yes i didn't realise, she had died, I read Alex Ross's Essay about her on the Guardian website, to me her voice is very primal, human something that connects in the way she sings, I realised i have an Avedon Portrait of her, he was good at showing what he thought of people in his portraits and i think the Portrait of her shows that.
