Over Janet Baker

Dame Janet Baker, geboren in 1933 in Hatfield, Yorkshire, is een legendarische Britse mezzosopraan die de wereld van de opera en klassieke muziek tussen de jaren '50 en '80 verruimde met haar uitzonderlijke talent. Haar stem, beschreven als zacht maar helder, heeft talloze toehoorders betoverd en hen het gevoel gegeven alsof ze iemands diepe gedachten konden horen. Baker studeerde in Londen en vervolgde haar opleiding aan het Mozarteum in Salzburg, waar ze haar kunst verder verfijnde. Haar repertoire, variërend van opera tot requiem, toont haar veelzijdigheid en diepgang. Een compilatiealbum van haar werk, uitgebracht door Philips, biedt een kijkje in haar indrukwekkende carrière en laat haar tijdloze prestaties horen.
