专辑介绍：
Jessye Norman (杰西 · 诺曼) 自幼在唱诗班接触音乐，儿童时期就表现出了非凡的音乐才华。1968年她在慕尼黑国际声乐大赛中一举夺魁，成为国际声乐界冉冉升起的新星。随后她登台柏林德国大剧院、米兰LaScala大剧院、英国皇家歌剧院、美国纽约林肯中心等世界顶级艺术殿堂，高亢嘹亮而且音域宽广的声线使她稳坐“世界第一女高音”的宝座。
Jessye Norman (杰西 · 诺曼) 的演唱清新且富于生气，浑厚且富有色彩。她横跨高中低音，高音圆润、中音结实、低音浑厚，嗓音的穿透力极强。最难得的是Jessye Norman (杰西 · 诺曼) 十分注重对作品的整体把握，歌曲的感情内涵诠释准确到位，特别是控制气息的本领无人能及。她演唱黑人灵歌很多时候都是半声唱出来的，这种独特的发声方法在乐坛相当罕见，堪称一绝。
Jessye Norman (杰西 · 诺曼) 灌录的唱片在世界各地也大受欢迎，舒曼的《妇女的爱情与生活》、勃拉姆斯的《艺术歌曲集》、拉威尔的《夏夜》等作品经过她的诠释成为唱片史上的经典版本。她热爱各种类型的音乐，歌剧、清唱剧、艺术歌曲、民歌、灵歌，甚至流行歌曲等都是她涉足的领域。 Jessye Norman (杰西 · 诺曼) 曾获得第48届“格莱美终生成就奖”，此前她曾先后在 1989年、1990年和1999年3度获得“格莱美最佳歌剧奖”。
Just in case the name of Michel Legrand is not familiar, he is the composer of the infuriatingly catchy "The Windmills of My Mind" (actually "The Windmills of My Heart" in the original French) and all the songs in Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, the charming Catherine Deneuve film musical. The material on this disc ranges from the smoky melancholy of "Je vivrai sans toi" ("I Will Live Without You") to the hyperbolic camp of "Celui-là" ("The One") but mainly hovers in the realm of anguished longing. Jessye Norman uses the material to show off the extraordinary range and flexibility of her voice. She slips between a pure, almost boyish sound and a full-throated luxurious warble with ease. But idiomatically she may not be to everyone's taste: for the most part this is the musical territory inhabited by the Billie Holidays of the world, and Norman's technique puts her at a disadvantage. Michel Legrand in his role as pianist is another matter, however. His carefully nuanced accompaniments flow with improvisatory ease, and inspire some great moments from the bass and drums. --Warwick Thompson
