AT&T PRESENTS CARNEGIE HALL TONIGHT (RADIO)
Summary
One in this series of weekly concert programs performed
at Carnegie Hall. This broadcast features a recital by
soprano Kiri Te Kanawa, accompanied by pianist Martin
Katz, recorded on October 27, 1985. Host John
Rubenstein and Te Kanawa open the program; Rubenstein
announces the works to be performed and Te Kanawa
talks about how she chooses and learns new material. Te
Kanawa then sings Scarlatti's "Caldo Sangue" and "La
Violette." She talks about her recitals, and sings
Gluck's "O del mio dolce ardor" from the opera "Paride
ed Elene" and Piccinni's "Si le Ciele mi divide" from
the opera "Alessandro nelle Indie." She also talks
about her early career and her voice teacher, and sings
three songs by Mozart -- "Ridente la calma,"
"Abendempfindung," and "An Chloe" -- and Henry Purcell's
"The Blessed Virgin's Expostulation." After Rubenstein
recounts some of the finest moments of Te Kanawa's
career, she returns to sing her first encore,
Marie-Joseph Canteloube's "Malurous qu'o uno fenno."
Rubenstein talks about Katz's career before Te Kanawa's
second encore, Mozart's "S'altro che lacrime" from the
opera "La Clemenza di Tito."
