Amazon.co.uk Review
Kiri Te Kanawa, the subject of this compilation disc, has had two life-changing moments in her career, the first of which made her a star, the second a mega-star. The former was her extraordinary overnight success at her Covent Garden debut as the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro in 1971. The latter was, of course, her performance at the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981, which brought her talents before audiences watching in their multi-millions. This handsome compilation takes those two moments as the starting point of an overview of her astonishingly varied career, and includes "Dove sono" from Figaro and Handel's Let the Bright Seraphim from her royal wedding appearance. In both, her voice sounds meltingly gorgeous and creamy. The disc also includes her famously melting performances of arias from the lyric repertoire: "Depuis le Jour" from Charpentier's Louise, for example, and Puccini's "O mio babbino caro" (famously used on the soundtrack of the film A Room With a View.) There's also a selection of her smooth performances of songs by Jerome Kern and George Gershwin. A great chance to hear one of the most beautiful voices of her generation. --Warwick Thompson
