Marilyn Horne - Portrait, A - Warren Jones/ Martin Katz
Marilyn Horne is acclaimed as the finest mezzo soprano of the twentieth century, with a voice known for its brilliant sound and its extraordinary range. Her career has spanned everything from Grand Opera to light entertainment and pirate recordings of pop singles. She started singing in public when she was just three years old and for the past thirty years she has been at the top of her profession. Horne's greatest contribution to music has been in developing and popularizing the mezzo soprano repertoire of composers such as Rossini and she was first non-Italian ever to win the coveted Rossini Medal, honouring her as the greatest singer in the world. In the year of her sixtieth birthday, this programme looks back over Marilyn Horne's long and remarkable career, celebrating her formidable achievements and giving an insight into her unique talent.
