If you haven't seen 20 Feet From Stardom, you might want to watch it at some point - she's one of the heavily featured singers.
It seems to be the performance dynamic she prefers (in a nutshell) ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_Feet_from_Stardom
Apart from Leonard Bernstien, Elizabeth Schwarzkopf and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Lisa Fischer has me totally in her spell, in other words I’m a besotted fan. Thanks for the links but I’ve obsessively chased down everything available. Many of her best performances can only be heard in crappy, amateurish Youtube videos. Drives me insane. Maybe she herself has an alergy to the recording studio or the industry has an alergy to her? Got me off my fat arse though to fly up to Sydney to one of her concerts. A mind boggling experience.
Can’t stop myself thinking though what she’d have achieved if she’d stuck with her early training as a classical mezzo soprano. Every now and then we get some indication of what she would have accomplished.
