This episode of the series "Voices Of Our Time: A Recital Series from the Théâtre du Châtelet" features American soprano/mezzo-soprano Grace Bumbry, accompanied by pianist Helmut Deutsch. Their live performance at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris is intercut with backstage interviews in which Bumbry and Deutsch introduce their choice of music. This is the first of ten parts of the episode.
Grace Bumbry is universally acclaimed as one of the great musicians of our time. Her vocal versatility and dramatic instincts have made her an unparalleled singing actress, not only in opera, but in recital as well. Bumbry’s talent was spotted by the legendary Lotte Lehmann (1888-1976), one of opera's most-loved sopranos, famed for the radiance and warmth of her full-bodied voice.
Bumbry’s program for this recital is therefore a homage to Lotte Lehmann. It includes pieces she worked on with her, particular favorites of her mentor, and ones by the composers Lehmann loved best – Schumann, Schubert, Liszt and Berlioz. Talking in interview sequences interspersed through the recital, Grace Bumbry draws on her memories of Lotte Lehmann, from whom she learned the art of being a recitalist.
