Product description

Experience the enchanting voice of Dame Kiri Te Kanawa as she breathes new life into the timeless compositions of Jerome Kern in "Kiri Sings Kern." Released in 1993 under Warner Classics, this captivating album spans 45 minutes of pure musical delight, featuring 14 meticulously arranged tracks that showcase the best of Kern's repertoire.

Kiri Te Kanawa, renowned for her operatic prowess, seamlessly transitions into the world of classic American standards, accompanied by the London Sinfonietta under the skilled direction of conductor and arranger Jonathan Tunick. The album is a testament to Te Kanawa's versatility and the enduring appeal of Kern's music, which includes beloved songs from iconic musicals and films.

From the romantic ballads of "The Way You Look Tonight" and "All the Things You Are" to the nostalgic charm of "Yesterdays" and "Long Ago (and Far Away)," each track is a masterclass in vocal artistry and musical storytelling. The album also features lesser-known gems like "Bill" from "Show Boat," adding depth and variety to the collection.

"Kiri Sings Kern" is not just a compilation of songs but a celebration of two artistic giants coming together to create something truly special. Whether you're a fan of opera, jazz, or classic American songbook standards, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience that highlights the timeless beauty of Jerome Kern's compositions and the unparalleled talent of Kiri Te Kanawa.
