Mexico City, D F Miercoles - A Spanish Review [ 28 Sep 1983 ]
|
Lee-Alison Gave a Good Concert
In the great hall called George Messersmith in the
Mexican-North American Institute of Culture, the North American singer
Lee-Alison gave a recital focussing on music of the Americas.
The recital began with an inspired interpretation of Baroque and
Classical Spanish songs of the 17th and 18th centuries. This was new
repertoire for the audience who showed their appreciation with
enthusiastic applause. As well, the graciousness of the performer and
her elegant presence endeared her to the audience in a very big way.
There was in the audience Elisa Kahan, Javier Arnaldo, Edelmira
Zuniga,
and Maria Luisa Hernandez, a music critic who commented during
intermission on the excellent technique of the vocalist. Lee-Alison
completed the first half with five popular Argentine songs by
Ginastera and two arias from Bizets Carmen.
In the second part one heard Lee-Alison sing Rain Has Fallen, The
Secrets of the Old, and Sure on this Shining Night by the
brilliant
composer Samuel Barber.
In the third part, the audience went wild with applause for a
selection
of Cole Porter songs and appreciated the wonderful support from
eminent
pianist Nadia Stankovich who accompanied the artist in this
unforgettable recital.
