Title: Gorgeous Singing/ Mostly Uninteresting Repertoire
Review: Deborah Sasson has an absolutely beautiful voice. Unfortunately, 'she can't get no respect' because of a surfeit of crossover recordings.Most of this program is of the sort that a soprano might perform at a "Pops" program.The Mozart, Verdi and Catalani arias are among the best versions ever recorded.The ultra-familiar Gershwin, Villa-Lobos, Bach/Gounod and Canteloube pieces are also gorgeously sung without breaking any new interpretive ground.One would love to hear her in an entirely serious program.Michel Sasson (no relation) is the excellent conductor.
