Through my volunteer work at [with]tv I've had the pleasure and the privilege of *meeting*
(in
cyberspace) and corresponding with Laurie Rubin.
Laurie is an accomplished Mezzo Soprano. Listen to this CBS interview I just discovered and you will learn more about this "world class opera singer" who has "performed in the White House and in some of the worlds finest Halls..."
(Photo description: Laurie is on stage performing in her New York recital debut with pianist David Wilkinson. Wearing a teal evening gown, she looks quite beautiful. She's standing in front of a grand piano; David is wearing a black suit. We can see the backs of the heads of her audience in Weill Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall, March 2004.)
Laurie has released a CD of art songs by Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Beethoven, Brahms, Hahn, Bizet, Copland, Rorem, Harbison and some beloved Yiddish pieces with pianists Graham Johnson and David Wilkinson on the Opera Omnia label.
"Faith in Spring" can be purchased via this link on Laurie's web site.
A music critic I am not but I know what I enjoy, and Steve and I enjoy listening to this often...
Laurie, we look forward to the day when we can actually experience your musical gift in a live performance. We'll be keeping our eyes on you!
Till then!
