Fauré, Schubert, R. Strauss & Englih Composers - Mélodies, Lieder, Songs - Janet Baker & Gerald Moore
During a busy and fruitful career, Dame Janet Baker consistently involved and moved her audiences by making every song or aria she sang seem the most important thingfor that moment in both their lives and hers. It is a gift vouchsafed to few artists. Although hard to analyse precisely, it undoubtedly arose from her being what I would call a conviction singer. She realised that the text was as important as the music. In her singing we don't just hear the voice beautiful - though her tone is distinctive, rich and individual in timbre - but a message, sad or happy, that is of the essence of her being. These virtues are preserved for us and future generations in her rich legacy of recordings. ...Alan Blyth, 1994
