Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, 1954-2006 - UPDATED LINKS

Lorraine Hunt Lieberson

She performed three recitals for the Celebrity Series. First, in 1993 with pianist Steven Blier as part of the Emerging Artists Series, she sang a program which began with Handel's "Ogni vento" from Agrippina, and proceeded through to Pablo Luna's "De España Vengo" from El Niño Judio. She was still Lorraine Hunt then. Another recital followed, in 1998, with pianist Judith Gordon that featured three pieces by her future husband, Peter Lieberson. There was just one more in 2003 with Peter Serkin (Brahms...Debussy...Mozart..."Deep River" for one encore). Like so many other fans, we thought these wonderful nights were just the beginning.
