Free Music Notes for All My Heart: Deborah Voigt Sings American Songs
Free Music Review: Like driving a Ferrari in a school zone.
Hit: 2 Stars
Like a lot of big operatic voices, Voigt is hard to capture on CD; her recordings of Wagner and Strauss excerpts are good, but they can't convey the experience of hearing her live in an opera house. And singing with only piano accompaniment, as here, she simply can't use most of the power in her voice. As sensitive as her performances are I can't help feeling that she's having to hold back. For American song sung with more delicacy and grace I would suggest Barbara Bonney or Dawn Upshaw (I can't agree with previous reviewers' suggestion of Cheryl Studer's Barber, though Hampson is wonderful on that set).Free Music Review: All My Inexperience

Did anyone dare say that Voigt is a competent interpreter of song? Since when? You want committed and gorgeous interpretations of some of the American classical song literature? Let me direct you then to the by now legendary recording of Samuel Barber's songs by two bona fide artists - Cheryl Studer and Thomas Hampson (with the Emerson String Quartet and the late pianist John Browning). "All the Heart" you may desire is contained there and then some. But without the gimmicks and the camp.

Free Music Review: May have a heart but what good is it if the artistic results are a void?
Hit: 1 Stars
The header says it all. Thumbs down all the way. Get instead the Samuel Barber double set with Cheryl Studer and Thomas Hampson if you wish to experience true heartrending Americana. As another reviewer put it, you get no gimmicks and no camp from these two distinguished artists.
