5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Voice, February 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Twilight and Innocence (Audio CD)

Heidi Garant Murphy is an exceptional singer. The magical tone of her voice is matched by intelligent musicianship. I recently (Feb 10) saw her as Sophie in Der Rosenkvalier at the Met. A wonderful performance, in which she was clearly the interpreter closest to what I think Strauss had in mind. She also had the most beautiful voice (although Fleming was also in excellent voice) This disc is another wonderful example or her singing. Kevin Murphy, who is her husband, provides a sensitive piano accompaniment. This disk is not background music. The sensitive interpretations require your complete attention to be appreciated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating music interpreted by a unique, beautiful voice, October 19, 1998

This review is from: Twilight and Innocence (Audio CD)

Heidi Grant Murphy should be considered one of the rising stars of the Opera world. She lends to the music on Twilight & Innocence the art of intimate singing. Each word is sung from the heart. The feelings conveyed are present without sacraficing any vocal range, the notes are just hit with a more subtle beauty than most other singers. The tone of Mrs. Grant-Murphy's voice is her ultimatley her most valuable asset. Dedicated to the victims of TWA's flight 800, this record is a thoughful, tastefully presented document.

Heidi's performance on this CD is very intimate and engaging. Her natural virtuosity has been keenly captured. This is not background music, she draws your full attention and holds it from beginning to end.
