Product Information

Aus diesem Grund erscheint nun auf Decca eine neue Dokumentation inklusive einer Bonus-CD mit bislang unveröffentlichten Aufnahmen aus amerikanischen Radioarchiven.

Item as described and will work for my game, arrived well packaged and protected and in the new condition advertised. SOMM Recordings’ previous Ferrier releases include Bach’s Mass in B minor ( Ariadne 5000-2), songs by Brahms, Chausson and Mahler ( SOMMCD 075) and Kathleen Ferrier Remembered, a first release of BBC Radio recordings of Lieder and British songs ( SOMMCD 264). Sir Thomas Allen, the distinguished interpreter of British song and Trustee of the Kathleen Ferrier Awards, contributes an extensive booklet commentary. These recorded performances are immensely valuable, as they allow us, so many years later, to hear several songs that Ferrier never set down commercially – including Brahms’ Nachtigall – as well as others that can be now compared with their commercially-made counterparts. Kathleen Ferrier in Celebration of Bach ( Ariadne 5004) was acclaimed by Gramophone as “an important addition to Ferrier’s discography… one of the most beautiful things she ever committed to disc”.Please remember it can take some time for Paypal or your card issuer to process and post the refund.

Viele gelten bis heute als Referenzeinspielungen – ihre einzigartige Stimme gilt seit Ferriers frühem Tod im Jahre 1953, im Alter von nur 41 Jahren, bis heute unerreichbar. In due course these and later recordings were reissued in other formats: Long-playing (LP), cassette tape and compact disc (CD).

Some of these were later issued as commercial recordings; others are held by individuals or in the archives of broadcasting companies.
