The name of Barbara Hendricks remains linked to the image of an exceptional musician, a free and generous woman, and a committed human being. Barbara Hendricks has illuminated the repertoire she has always defended with grace and passion: French melody and German Lied, the greatest sacred and symphonic pages, or the roles that have marked her stage and recording career. Mozart and Schubert hold a central place in her career. Her talent combined with her charisma, her natural and radiant beauty, her intelligence, and her civic sense have earned her great affection from the public and the French media. Her numerous television appearances have contributed to her popular success. The greatest festivals as well as the greatest operas in the world welcome her. Her very varied repertoire takes her to cities around the world, with prestigious partners such as Radu Lupu, Maria-João Pires, Carlo Maria Giulini, Herbert von Karajan, Leonard Bernstein... Negro spirituals and jazz will open new doors to her ever-renewed musical appetite, and she will find there a universe close to her activist years of youth. This engaged aspect of her personality led her early in her career to work actively with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, of which she is a lifelong goodwill ambassador, tirelessly visiting refugee camps around the world. Two solidarity concerts organized in a war-torn Yugoslavia allowed her to put her art at the service of her commitment: two strong and unforgettable moments for all those who participated. A remarkable personality with an atypical, rich, and varied career, Barbara Hendricks has recorded with EMI Classics a very important discography counting numerous gold records.
