Marilyn Horne sings "Beautiful Dreamer" by Stephen Foster with Martin Katz at the piano.
From: VAI DVD 4323 Marilyn Horne in Recital - Milan, 1981
Though Marilyn Horne is known mostly for her virtuosic operatic roles, she is a superb recitalist who can scale her powerful voice down to the more intimate requirements of the recital stage.
In 1981, she appeared at Milans La Scala opera house in a recital consisting of music by Italian, German, Spanish, French and American composers. Horne was in particularly superb form that evening, partnered brilliantly by Martin Katz at the piano.
93 minutes, color, mono.

I love the way she took a nice breath before the last note - some people would just have to try to struggle through the whole phrase ("purists") & end up sounding bad/out of breath. But not Marilyn, she knows how to do it right. Thank you! I'm so glad I took the time to listen to this wonderful video.

Stephen Foster wrote this as his final good-bye and gift to the world.He hadn't written anything worthwhile for many years,but knew he had one great song in him.He wrote the best,of the best and died.Worthy of Mozart,Bach,or the Beatles...

The way Marilyn Horne sings "Beautiful Dreamer" is, well, beautiful. Great singer and lovely voice. Thanks for sharing, Zack, and thanks to vaimusic for posting. I think the venue is La Scala.

Yes, she sang many classic American songs, including others by Foster. Baritone Thomas Hampson has also sung a lot of Stephen Foster songs. He even released an entire album devoted just to Foster's music.

Stephen Foster at La Scala. Now that's something. And this is done gorgeously.

you are so right. he was a genius. under appreciated in his day and forgotten in our own. but he was still a genius.

It's more difficult to recover from an error if the accompanist and the singer both perform memorized because, without the score in front of at least one of the performers, an error can cause a rush of nerves in even an experienced performer. If the pianist has the score, s/he can quickly scan the score to spot the error and attempt to correct it. As for page turning, it's not that difficult, really. If the piece is particularly difficult, one can easily hire a page turner.
