Complete Studio Recitals – Decca, DG & Philips

Description: In September 2019, the world lost one of the most prolific musical talents of all time, the majestic and unmistakably radiant American soprano, Jessye Norman. Legions of fans, including celebrities, civil rights and arts world leaders all shared with the world the impact she made on their lives, joining together in grief on social platforms to honour her. An unrivalled and towering figure on stage and in the studio, Ms Norman was one of the most decorated and trailblazing sopranos of all time. Clive Gillinson, Artistic Director of Carnegie Hall, where Norman sat on the board reminds us that She had the ability to make the world stop. With the support of her family, Decca proudly pays a fitting tribute to the magnificently effortless singer with The Complete Studio Recitals. This 45-disc limited & original jacket collection, features a plethora of solo recitals, sacred & spiritual songs, orchestral lieder, and live recitals made for the Decca, Philips & Deutsche Grammophon labels throughout her illustrious career. 42CDs of studio & live recitals, orchestral lieder, Christmas, American songbook favourites, sacred & spiritual songs and personal favourites of Jessye Norman such as the music of Michel Legrand. All recordings made for the Decca, Philips & Deutsche Grammophon labels. 3 DVDs complete the set, including an intimate film made by Andr Heller, that features filmed interviews and performances of many of her signature arias & songs, Christmas concerts from Notre-Dame & Ely Cathedrals and a live recital of Handel, Schubert & Schumann from the 1987 Hohenems Festival, Austria on DVD for the very first time!
