Lorraine Hunt Lieberson - Tribute (CD)

As a tribute to the artistry of Lorraine Hunt Lieberson (1954-2006), this retrospective gathers together many of the finest recordings of arias and duets made during her acclaimed association with harmonia mundi. "A riveting singer known for her fearsome vocal and dramatic power, whether in opera or the cantatas of Bach." (The Los Angeles Times)
