Description:

Complete Recordings is an album by Florence Foster Jenkins, released in 2016. Complete Recordings includes a.o. the following tracks: â??Aria: Queen Of The Night (from 'the Magic Flute' - Mozart)â?, â??The Musical Snuff-Boxâ?, â??Like A Birdâ?, â??Bell Song (from Lakmi)â? and more. The album is a classical CD. -

Florence Foster Jenkins was a New York socialite who, despite being a hopelessly incompetent 'singer', believed herself to be an operatic soprano of note, and performed for invited audiences at recitals for thirty years or more until her death in 1944, just weeks after her only public performance at Carnegie Hall, which attracted an incredulous response. She was unable to pitch a note accurately or hold a tune, nor did she have any sense of rhythm or timing, and this collection of the private recordings she made in the early 1940s admirably portray her singular lack of talent. She acquired a cult legendary status over the years, to the extent that in 2016 a high profile feature film biopic is being released, starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant, which will prompt a new surge of interest in her recordings. This release contains all the pieces she consigned to disc, comprising coloratura arias from well-known operas along with contemporary art songs, two written by her regular piano accompanist Cosme McMoon. It is simultaneously astonishing and hilarious, and for once the description of "unique" is amply justified.

"The Complete Recordings" on CD by Florence Foster Jenkins, released by Acrobat, is a unique and captivating collection that brings together all the known recordings of one of the most extraordinary figures in 20th-century music. Florence Foster Jenkins became an unlikely legend for her passionate yet technically unconventional interpretations of classical repertoire. This compilation includes her infamous renditions of arias such as "The Queen of the Night" and "Ave Maria," capturing both her enthusiasm and eccentricity. The set offers listeners a fascinating glimpse into Jenkins' world?a testament to artistic courage and individuality. Acrobat, renowned for its dedication to preserving rare musical gems across genres, ensures high-quality remastering and insightful liner notes that enrich this historical release.
