Lorraine Hunt Lieberson died nearly two years ago, and her absence still pains the music community, especially opera and early music lovers.
Her many fans can still take great pleasure in the recent release of previously unavailable recordings – including a new CD from Avie commemorating not only Lorraine but one of the under-appreciated moving forces in the early music movement, Emmanuel Music director Craig Smith, who died earlier this year. The disc is scheduled for release July 15; full details and pre-order arrangements can be found here.
Full disclosure: I am marketing adviser for Avie's US distributor.
