To talk about Shirley Verrett is synonymous of excellence. New Orleans born, Verrett was an extraordinary mezzosoprano that transitioned to soprano sfogato in the 70s. She had no intention to sing opera at the very beginning but she confessed that when saw Callas singing Norma at the Met she changed her mind. For this recital at the Carnegie Hall she sang Lieder by Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Copland, Spanish songs, old American songs and spirituals with pianist Charles Wadsworth.
