"A BEAUTIFUL EVENING OF BEAUTIFUL MUSIC BY TWO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE".Saturday Review.CLIP 1.The famous FIRST 13th.November,1971, recital,UNEDITED,in New York,which had to be repeated nine days later due to popular demand.Unprecedented.The two friends just happened to be in New York at the same time.This FULL EVENING recording made available to me by a good friend.Mucho gracias.I DO NOT name my sources!There are many written commentaries about this recital,so I shall be brief in my quotations,and editing of the music critics.Harold C. Schonberg,New York Times review--"It was a happy day when these two supreme artists decided to join forces.May it happen more often!Miss de los Angeles can still project a song in a manner that can tear the heart out of a brass idol.Her voice has deteriorated remarkably little through the years,and it still has that intimacy,that velvet texture,that makes it unique.And a singer of her vast experience knows how to cover up and pace herself.One or two high notes that threatened to go badly were immediately adjusted.Even before the concert started,there was the buzz of anticipation that heralds a Real Event.------.The audience would gladly have kept Miss de los Angeles and Miss de Larrocha going for the entire night."Omus Hirschbein,Administrator-----."At the end there were roses,roses everywhere.To those who attended the recital these words were as symbolic as they were literal.-----.Remembering the many hundreds who had been turned away,I asked Miss de los Angeles and Miss de Larrocha if they would consent to give their recital once again.They agreed on a date nine days later,and that appearance was also sold out.------."This treasure is the ENTIRE,FIRST recital,UNEDITED,November 13th,1971 performance now a part of musical history.CUATRO CANCIONES ANTIGUAS ESPANOLAS.1.Confiado jilguerillo:Antonio Literes2.Seguidillas religiosas:Manuel Pla.3.Cancion de cuna:Anonimo.4.El tripili:(anon.)Blas de Laserna.CLIP 1.Clips of entire evening unedited to follow.Hunter College Recital,New York,November 13th.1971.Would be very interesting indeed to hear from anyone who was present.MANY of the PHOTOS courtesy of the Fundacion Victoria de los Angeles,address on my Main Page.

Nov 23, 2008 - These two ladies have in common the ability to make music with such natural simplicity: a perfect match. I love so much when artists seem to do nothing and yet do everything.. and I guess that's why you love Ferrier and Anderson too. Thank you

Nov 23, 2008 - many many thanks again for this magical moment the two artists are so at ease with each other it feels like they are "creating" rather than interpreting, great art from two great ladiestomblack

Nov 23, 2008 - Madames de Larrocha and de Los Angeles were best of friends in Barcelona. Madame de Larrocha is alive, but not performing anymore. This recording is a treasure!
davepipe Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - Madame de Larrocha memorized her piano accompaniment so as not to disturb the recording with the sound of turning of pages!!!
