My own recording, "She Walks in Beauty: soprano Danielle Woerner sings Chamber
Music & Songs of Otto Luening and Robert Starer," is dedicated to the memory
of three people:
- Otto Luening, who was a dear friend and mentor and inspired my own
performing career
- Andrea Goodzeit, another dear friend who was an extraordinary (if
"unsung") pianist, composer/arranger and singer
- P.L. Travers (known to most people as the author of the Mary poppins
books, but also an extraordinary student of myth and legend), my
spiritual mother and the person who taught me to love William Blake's
writings -- which Otto Luening and Robert Starer also have devoted much
attention to It's also dedicated to the 75th birthday year of Robert
Starer (his birthday was Jan. 8th, and happily he is still with us)
I'm dimly aware that I've heard of other recording dedications over the
years -- will send when I think of them...
Danielle Woerner
