With her creamy, rich soprano and lustrous stage presence, Jennifer Larmore has been highly sought after as both opera singer and recitalist, and this 2001 concert showcases her wide appeal. In an eclectic array of songs spanning four centuries of composing, Larmore (ably supported by her pianist, Antoine Palloc) demonstrates her operatic abilities by performing arias of Handel, Rossini, and Bizet, then jumps headlong into the 20th-century song repertoire, tackling Debussy, Kurt Weill, Samuel Barber, and current American wunderkind Jake Heggie. The encores include the delightful Latin stylings of Ary Barroso and Fernando Obradors, more Heggie, and finally the rarely heard Roger Quilter and Art Is Calling for Me from the operetta The Enchantress by Victor Herbert. Even Larmore's puppy (the inspiration for the Heggie encore) makes a brief appearance near the end, underlining the mutual admiration by both singer and her audience. --Kevin Filipski
