The great Dame Janet is worth every minute of your time,

This review is from: Janet Baker - Full Circle / Gluck, Donizetti, Elgar (DVD)
I was fortunate enough to hear Dame Janet Baker in Madison, WI, while in college, back in the 70's. It was a stunning experience; such class and command of her art. This account of the last year of her operatic career has insights and fine artistry. Unfortunately, the sound recording is below par, especially in some of the spoken moments & interviews. Aside from the fine opera singing, my favorite moment was when she sang "She Moves Thro' the Fair" (an English folk song), at Carnegie Hall, as part of an American tour. Hearing Dame Janet reflect upon her remarkable career is most entertaining. Recorded by the BBC in 1982, and released by Kultur, this is a find for any serious music lover, despite the often fuzzy sound (there ARE subtitles available).
