1. Home
DECCA CLASSICS 4816564
Home is Adelaide-born soprano Greta Bradman’s tribute to her homeland, and features 20 songs and arias that encapsulate the essence of family, friends, and returning to one’s place of origin, including favourites such as Dvorak’s Songs My Mother Taught Me, Mendelssohn’s O for the Wings of a Dove, and the Bach/Gounod Ave Maria.
FEATURE: GRETA BRADMAN: COMING HOME
After neck surgery in 2016, the popular soprano wondered if she’d sing again. Now, as she tells Jo Litson, she can’t wait to meet audiences on her forthcoming tour, following the release of new album Home.
