The first time I heard Kiri Te Kanawa was when she sang Handel’s “Let the bright Seraphim” at the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. Since I wasn’t much of an opera fan at the time that might have been it, but I remembered her name years later when I saw notice of a documentary about the recording of Leonard Bernstein conducting the West Side Story starring, among others, Kiri Te Kanawa and Jose Carreras. Simply awesome! Then she released an album with Maori Songs. I was hooked! - that was it: the joy, the rhythm, the melody, the voice, all came together.
