I Love You Marilyn Horne. Didn't see/hear you live (@ The Met) until the later '70s,
but Oh, what memories I have. One of my best is the role of Fides in "Le Profhete" in
'78 or '79, not to forget "Rinaldo" in '84 & then Orfeo in Sante Fe in 1990. But with all the operas & recitals I witnessed you in over many years (right up to your retirement) I, most fondly, perhaps, will always recall the night you sang
"O Holy Night" one night on the Johnny Carson Show. Pure Magic, Reverence & a genuine
evocation of the meaning of Christmas. You are the Real Thing ! ***Q.

The type of Christmas album that isn't being made any more. Every note is sung with reverence for the music and the occasion. A great singer at the height of her powers.

Marilyn Horne is one of the treasures of American opera singers. Her wonderful voice fits these classic Christmas songs pefectly. Highly recommended.
