Lorraine

'I remember when Lorraine sang through the opening recitative of Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut BWV 199 during the first rehearsal for the perfomance with Kahane and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. The musicians sat in slience after the movement ended. At first, the musicians wiped tears from their eyes while some clapped timidly. Then followed uproarious applause from the orchestra and the few lucky guests. That first run-through was good enough for the final performance. Lorraine made it seem as if she were singing this music directly to you and to you alone.' - Attiyeh, producer
