I'm always sad when I listen to this gorgeous disc. Lorraine Hunt-Lieberson died of cancer on July 3, 2006 at her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico at the height of her musical and expressive powers, aged only 52. Only a few years previously, she had nursed her sister through her final illness with the same disease.
Ironically, in 2000 Hunt-Lieberson had sung one of these cantatas in a semi-staged performance directed by Peter Sellars. In Cantata BWV 82, Ich Habe Genug ("I Have Enough"), she was wearing a flimsy hospital gown and thick woolen socks, her face contorted with pain and yearning, portrayed a terminally ill patient who, no longer able to endure treatments, wants to let go and be comforted by Jesus.
I can't imagine a more fitting memorial for this wonderful musician than these utterly moving performances.
Free Music Review: Glorious and heart-breaking

Now that Ms Hunt Lierbeson has died, it is difficult to listen to these profound recordings without feeling acute pangs of heartache, especially during the first aria of Ich Habe Genug. If you have read anything about Peter Sellars's staged versions of this cantata, where Hunt Lieberson appeared dressed in a patient's hospital gown, attached to IV's, that image will haunt you as you listen to this sublime recording. Ms. Hunt Liberson's voice is clear and supple, able to express subtle and grand emotions with small vocal inflections, gestures and delicate phrasing. A revelation of a recording that will likely bring tears to your eyesFree Music Review: Her song to a new legency
Hit: 5 Stars
Bach's cantata BWV82, there were many versions written by Bach himself, includes for Bass, for Soprano, and for alto--- and we could find more singers record it. I must say Hunt would be one of most excellent in recently years.
Her pure voices to bach cantata is easy to express original emotion to touch listeners inner heart.
Hunt was a famous singer of Handel, so that this album it's more valuable to find her another perform, I could promise it's a good and beautiful enjoyment of bach music.
