Classical Singer first featured Lawrence Brownlee in an interview with David Kubiak in March 2002. We caught up with him again last year during his performance as Count Almaviva in a Teatro de Madrid production of Barber of Seville. The late CJ Williamson, who had been observing with great interest the meteoric beginnings of what promises to be a brilliant career, commissioned this interview. She was especially interested in the technical aspects of the development of Mr. Brownlee’s extraordinary voice and prompted some of the questions in the interview.
This month concludes the Classical Singer spotlight on the 14 singers named Certified Singers at the 2005 AudComps. This month we spotlight Cortez Mitchell and Jason Kaminski from the Young Artist Division. Stay tuned for the announcement of the 2006 – 2007 Certified Classical Singers, to be named at the Classical Singer Convention 2006 in Philadelphia at the end of this month.
CS takes a moment to remember legendary soprano Anna Moffo, a glamorous woman with a rich, clear voice who made Mimi, Violetta, Madama Butterfly and other roles come alive for her fans.
