 Evelyn Lear - The Art of the Recital (1 CD)
Evelyn and I only made one "commercial" recording together during all that time, and that was devoted entirely to popular music, songs from shows, etc. There was no way that others could fully understand Evelyn's way with an artsong or the nature of our partnership.

Evelyn plays the piano fairly well (never a comfortable fact for an accompanist like me to know) and could thus easily empathize with technical and pianistic necessities in the keyboard part of any piece we were doing.

Lear, born in Brooklyn in 1928, studied at Juilliard and made her debut at the Berlin Deutsche Opera in 1961; she created leading roles there and at the Met in a number of contemporary operas and became best known for her performances as Berg's Lulu and in Strauss operas (and his songs, in recital).
