About
The celebrated soprano Susan Chilcott died five years ago after becoming one of the mainstays of La Monnaie. She made her debut there in 1994 under most extraordinary circumstances when she agreed to replace at very short notice an ailing colleague in the demanding role of Peter Grimes’ Ellen. Susan Chilcott appeared in the world’s major opera houses: the Met, Covent Garden, Garnier, Bastille, the Amsterdam Opera. At La Monnaie she took part in many productions under Antonio Pappano’s baton. Highlights of these productions are featured on this CD. This release is a tribute to a singer whose sad and early death robbed the operatic stage of a unique and extraordinary talent.

…Susan Chilcott's… Desdemona sounds all the more delicate opposite Galusin's rather unwieldy Otello, with some beautifully Italianate legato… The Grimes excerpts are restrained but not less affecting. A moving reminder…
21st December 2008
Her voice can turn miraculously from hushed and silvery to burnished and impassioned. For Desdemona’s ‘Willow Song’ alone, with its heart-stopping cry of ‘Ave Maria’, this would be worth every penny. It’s also a
poignant reminder of our loss.
