The Queen of Opera Plays the Sweet American Dream
Kiri Te Kanawa and Nelson Riddle bring new appeal to standard numbers.
This unique collaboration sees two classical treasures tackle jazz and pop classics. Riddle's sophisticated arrangements bring out the full potential of Te Kanawa's pristine vocals, giving these standards a dignified brilliance. This album gracefully straddles the boundaries between opera and popular music, offering a fresh surprise for fans of both genres.
