Tara Erraught & James Baillieu

Recitals were a constant in Victoria de los Ángeles' career, spanning seven decades of her life. Her way of organizing programs, always combining different schools of Lieder with an uncommon natural flair, has served as an inspiration for future generations of artists, as publicly acknowledged by performers such as Barbara Hendricks or Renée Fleming. This is also the case for Tara Erraught, who debuted at LIFE Victoria in 2019 and who, following this à la Victoria model, has devised—together with James Baillieu—this program that will also be performed in October at London's Wigmore Hall, where Victoria de los Ángeles appeared on so many occasions alongside Gerald Moore or Geoffrey Parsons. Thus, audiences will be able to enjoy some of the Lieder that accompanied her throughout her life, such as Les nuits d’été, Chanson d’amour or Les roses d’Ispaham, and it will conclude with songs from her native Ireland, just as Victoria herself did with the songs of her homeland.
