February 2007

I was lucky enough to bag Lesley Garrett as my first full-length interview for my first professional podcast, which is now available via The Stage. Primarily taking about her new album, When I Fall In Love, Lesley talks about her experiences on reality TV — as a judge, a contestant, and the show which chose The Sound of Music’s primary star, Connie Fisher, was chosen via the BBC series How DO You Solve A Problem Like Maria?

Lesley also talks about the challenges faced when talking about recording arias in foreign languages versus English, and the effect those songs have had on people who have communicated those songs back to her.

I don’t know how many podcasts in the series I’ll be directly hosting — I suspect it’ll be however many that others opt out of :-) In any event, public comments can be posted http://www.thestage.co.uk/podcasts/ or, if you want a little privacy, you can email them to podcasts@thestage.co.uk.
