June Anderson - slide show with live recording singing "Long Time Ago" (arr. Aaron Copland). The clip I created mistakenly places this event at the Ambassador Hotel, but in fact it occurred at Ambassador Auditorium, Pasadena, February 1991. Audio is fuzzy, I know, but what can you do...
June does wonderfully with almost everything I've seen her in. The few things that I prefer others in are just personal choices too. I think she is definitely an acquired taste for some, but she came right to me. Thanks nick! Very beautiful.
I first heard this song over half a century ago. Have loved it ever since.
June Anderson is wonderful as always.
BTW, the recital was probably at Ambassador College. The Ambassador
Hotel closed in 1989. Ambassador College used to have a great music
program. Saw Marilyn Horne, Lucia Popp, et. al. there.
The college is now closed too.
Tnx 4 the beautiful post.

mezzo, there is really never any room for "This could have been better" with her arias, is there? These are videos too, don't forget.

This woman has such a nice big voice. Her phraising and diction are great, and she does the song at just the right tempo.

Thanks again Nick, I've never heard this before. I had to give it 5 in spite of the audio, after all it was June Anderson! :)
