"has fans from both sides of the Atlantic ~ Lesley Garrett"

J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 06/25/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Silva America presents a lady with the gusto in life and music "DIVA: SOPRANO AT THE MOVIES", featuring one of the favorite sopranos in the Classical World today Lesley Garrett...Britain's favorite star comes up with this 1991 reissue, and at a special price will be a sure fire winner.

On this album we have twelve outstanding selections with The Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Andrew Greenwood and recorded at The Hit Factory (London), December 1990/January 1991...with the following performances coming your way.

LA WALLY (rarely performed complete)

LAKME (duet became famous for a British Airways commercial)

THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO (full of life, love and games)

FAUST (jewels for her left by the Devil)

LA BOHEME (performed in the film "Moonstruck", one of my favorite films and favorite Puccini Operas)

RUSALKA (featured in the film "Driving Miss Daisy")

GIANNI SCHICCHI (featured in the 1986 film "A Room With A View")

SONGS OF THE AUVERGNE (melody introduced in Laurence Olivier's "Henry V")

THE BARBER OF SEVILLE (award winning Italian/Russian "Dark Eyes" with Marcello Mastroianni)

CARMEN (1952 film "Carmen Jones" with Harry Belafonte and Dorothy Dandrige)

TALES OF HOFFMAN (featured in 1948 "The Red Shoes")

KISMET (1955 film featuring Howard Keel, Dolores Gray and Vic Damone)

Take a bow Phillip Thomas (producer), Reynold da Silva and James Fitzpatrick (executive producers), David Stone (album release supervisor) and Silva Screen for this reissue...as Miss Garrett states - making opera accessible and presenting the best music to the widest audience possible is the goal in her musical career...thank you Lesley for sharing your God given talent!
