Where are the Neruda songs?

With Arleen Auger, LHH had the American voice of such beauty, class—the whole package. Often compared to Maria Callas, although the two could not have had voices that sounded more dissimilar.

Her life and her art cannot be totally understood without her husband’s composition for her, The Neruda Songs.

About 1,000 Recordings

Celebrate the joy, the revelation, the mystery, the fun, the sheer shivers-up-the-spine pleasure of great music.

Essential operas. Milestone rock albums. An education in the blues. The world of world. Classical from Bach to Bartók to Beethoven to Brahms. And dozens of unexpected gems, surprising discoveries, and long-lost masterpieces.

This is an online version of the list (published alphabetically in the book). The entries in the book break down genre bias and broaden every listener’s horizons—think Miles Davis to Claude Debussy to the melodic story-songs of The Decemberists. And the writing is passionate, informed, opinionated.
