We celebrate the artistic legacy of Spanish mezzo-soprano Teresa Berganza. The unique vocal characteristics that brought her accolades for her interpretations of Mozart, Rossini, Bizet, in zarzuela, and more also made Teresa Berganza a remarkable performer in baroque and renaissance repertory, the repertory we’ll hear her in on this week’s edition of Baroque&Before. Tonight’s musical selections come from WFMT’s Richard and Mary L. Gray Music Library.
Tonight’s selections are from Brava Berganza! A Birthday Tribute:DG 289 477 5489.
