John Mc Cormack sings Ah, Moon of my Delight, from In a Persian Garden

In a Persian Garden is a song cycle written for four voices, by Liza Lehmann, published in 1896. The tenor solo, Ah, moon of my delight, is operatic in nature, and a perfect fit for McCormack s voice. The final high, soft note is a McCormack trademark. He was very proud (rightfully so) of his ability to produce high, mezzavoce sounds, which were very much appreciated by his huge audience. They recorded especially well on the older acoustical equipment. YOU CAN FOLLOW MY OPERA BLOG AT:
