Kathleen Ferrier: A Tribute (2-CD, Decca 50th Anniversary Edition)
One of the most beloved voices in the history of British music, Kathleen Ferrier (1912–1953) left behind a legacy that continues to move listeners decades after her tragically early death. This 2-CD Decca tribute, released to mark the 50th anniversary of her passing, brings together a definitive collection of her finest recordings — remastered at 96kHz/24-bit for exceptional clarity and warmth.
From Schubert lieder to Handel arias, from English folk songs to Bach, Ferrier's rich contralto voice carries an emotional depth that is simply unmatched. This is a collection for those who already love her, and an essential introduction for those who don't yet know what they've been missing.
