Favs from '97

Here are some favorites from my '97 Masters Recital at DePaul University. The vocal quality is not stellar in all parts, but these are my favorite songs of the program. A 'traditional' program for a young singer is an Italian Baroque set, French and German Romantic era sets and a 4th set of the more modern era. I chose a set of three modern Hebrew songs. Little did I know how far the love of this music would take me! In the German, my friend Melanie was singing the alto part so I could have the melody. In Walpurgisnacht, she starts and I reply. It's so spooky-a young girl realizing her own mother is a witch! I get chills just hearing it. Hmm, I can only add one at a time. We'll start with the Italian.
