Eileen Farrell sings American Songs & Arias - LIVE!

From what I can tell, these excerpts are from one of two performances given by Eileen Farrell and her accompanist George Malloy: possibly Staten Island, NY, in April, 1972; or Philharmonic Hall in February, 1970. The audio is not great quality, but the singing is!

Here is the great Eileen Farrell singing:
1. "David Weeps for Absalom" (1947) by David Diamond
2. "A Nun Takes the Veil" (1937) Op. 13, by Samuel Barber
3. "To This We've Come" (The Consul) by Gian Carlo Menotti
4. "Through the Years" (1932) by Vincent Youmans

I have many playlists of rare performances with Eileen Farrell. Please see my channel page for the others.Eileen Farrell (February 13, 1920 -- March 23, 2002) was the most gifted singer to come out of America, in my opinion. I highly recommend her memoir, "Can't Help Singing".

A great singer and wonderful recitalist. She recorded "To this we've come" and "Through the Years"; the Diamond and Barber to my knowledge were never done in the studio. Thank you!
