Free Music Notes for Spanish Love Songs
Free Music Review: De España vengo? No, she carries it inside (like so much else)
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of my (admittedly many) favorites of Lorraine's recordings, and it demonstrates all the fundamental aspects of her artistry. The way she sings Granados, Luna, and Wolf - like no one else - turns entire traditions of singing on their head and makes me hear anew entire genres of music. For example, take the liberal ornamentation in De España vengo. Similar to Kathleen Ferrier's turns in Er, der Herrlichste von allen, but going much further, Lorraine's ornamentation collapses the very distinction between decoration and expression, or between decoration and the melodic line. The ornaments (like so much else in Lorraine's voice and career) come across as tentative and vulnerable and, AT THE SAME TIME, highly virtuosic. That is about as complete a contradiction (and as high a compliment) as I can imagine. Do others hear it this way as well? It reminds me, too, of Ferrier's Du bist die Ruh - where she uses what appears to be the simplest and least artful of a hundred different approaches singers have taken to the climaxes in that song, but what is also emphatically (to me) the most eloquent and powerful. Lorraine's voice has the same qualities of genuineness (artlessness) and interiority (spiritualness) as Ferrier's, but she has in addition to those a mysterious kind of virtuosity. Perhaps it's an appearance of virtuosity? Perhaps it's an appearance of naïveté! That might explain why her Handel, Charpentier, and Rameau are more entrancing than her Bach.
