The
biggest challenge for Ms Loring in making this particular recording was
selecting what didn’t end up on the final release of the track. . She
explains that in the era of email, many of her fans contacted her directly
to ask about certain songs she had performed on "Days". Often it was the
same songs that were requested. This CD, is a direct result of those
requests for recordings of those performances. Because of the number of
requests that didn’t make it onto this CD, Ms Loring intends that a
forthcoming CD might satisfy the requests of her fans around the world. Ms
Loring adds: It's the first project I've ever done from requests. Also both
my mother and father passed on around the time I was working on this and it
gave several songs a special poignancy. "Con
Te Partiro" (Andrea
Bocelli's version) was
played at my mothers' funeral just two weeks after I performed it for the
first time at a symphony concert in Washington, DC. "Wing Beneath My Wings"
is for my dad, who struggled for twenty years with Parkinson's disease. He
was a trumpet player in the big band era and so I featured a trumpet solo on
that song. Each song evokes deep feelings in me.
Asking Diva Loring
of all the songs she sung over
the years, which ones are dearest to her heart, Ms Loring replied: Probably
"Friends
and Lovers" because it was
such a struggle to get it released as a record and so the joy of seeing it
hit #1 will always be with me ", "Quiet Please", and "There's a Lady on
Stage" because it reminds of the night I saw
Judy Garland
"rise to the occasion" and triumph over a skeptical audience. "Always on My
Mind" is a favorite too, because it so beautifully captures the sadness of
regret.
Loring's
life in her songs in
"Turn the Page". A singing style
nourished with warmth, beauty and unsurpassed talent.
The songs written
by Ms Loring are very personal and intimate. They reflect her direct
relationships with meaningful events in her life. They have deeply
influenced her musical talent and repertoire selection. Those events were
the major source of inspiration for her overwhelming artistic creativity.
Life with its blows, sorrow and joy. Life with its daily ups and downs and
deeply rooted memories asking the artist to acknowledge them and send them
free on sheets of music materialize with candor, bleeding truth, refined
musical virtuosity and a Ms Loring's voice out of this world. There is so
much depth, human substance, inner feelings and sublime artistic and vocal
talents in the songs of Diva Loring.
