Emma Kirkby: The Unsung Heroine
The South Bank Show
ITV Productions
22.07.2007.
Presented by: Melvyn Bragg
Produced and directed by: Mathew Tucker

A documentary about my favorite singer, Dame Emma Kirkby, the artist who almost single-handedly changed the way we listen to voices in early music. Her pure soprano features on almost 200 studio recordings and she is well known to almost every admirer of medieval, renaissance and baroque music for her beautiful voice and amazing artistry. The show features works of Henry Purcell, Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, Jean-Baptiste Boësset, Claudio Monteverdi, Hildegard Von Bingen and John Dowland.
