Ethel Casey - Classic and Rare Songs and Arias

Review by Kevin Spires

Ethel Casey's album, Classic and Rare Songs and Arias, is a beautiful collection of vocal performances that showcases her exceptional talent and range as a singer. The album features a diverse selection of songs and arias, including classic pieces from composers such as Mozart and Handel, as well as lesser-known works from composers like Reynaldo Hahn and Joaquín Rodrigo.

Casey's voice is stunningly expressive and full of emotion, and she demonstrates an impressive ability to convey the nuances and complexities of each piece. Her performance of "Lascia ch'io pianga" from Handel's Rinaldo is particularly noteworthy, with her clear and powerful vocals conveying the heart-wrenching emotions of the aria.

The album's production is also top-notch, with excellent recording quality that allows Casey's voice to shine through. The accompaniment, provided by a talented group of musicians, is also noteworthy, with each piece expertly arranged to complement Casey's vocals.
