Frederica von Stade and Samuel Ramey
?Even if she were not one of the great singers of our day, von Stade could probably draw a full house of people eager just to be in her presence ... she?s that enchanting.?
? San Francisco Chronicle
?Few voices at any range work as well and are used to better purpose so consistently as Mr. Ramey?s.?
? The New York Times
One of America?s most beloved and admired mezzo-sopranos, von Stade has enriched the world of classical music for three decades. ?Polished yet warm, like china under whose thin glaze are painted scenes of extraordinary delicacy ? (her singing is) something close to ecstasy? [New York Newsday]. In a program of arias and selections from musical theater, she will be joined by Samuel Ramey, one of music?s reigning interpreters of bass and bass-baritone operatic repertoire.
