		She was blessed with a lovely lyric/spinto voice, and it always has been a mystery to me that she didn't achieve greater fame.
		Surely this recital, which finds Curtin totally at ease with very varied repertory, is one of the best of its sort in the catalog.
		Whether she is navigating the treacherously difficult patter of pieces like Hekel Taveres' "Song Of the Half-Blooded", the dark mystery of Jayme Ovalle's "Berimbau", or the lush, sad lyricism of Julio Perceval's "Triste me voy a los campos", Curtin sounds as if she were born to sing these songs, conveying their full meaning.

		In truth, though, I find Curtin's big voice better suited to Copland's more austere, declamatory style, and in particular to the 12 Emily Dickinson settings.
		Both Curtin and Robert Helps (my favorite living pianist) give a caring, beautifully detailed reading full of ample lyricism.
