THRU THE YEARS - THE PLATINUM SERIES VOL. I​

LOVE SONGS, ART SONGS, OPERA ARIAS & SACRED REPERTOIRE 

​From the romantic contemporary classic, 'Tenderly,' and the seemingly impossible high D of the Sacred Repertoire piece, 'Cujus animan,' to the live outdoor, cricket accompanied concert recordings of two French Art Songs: the hauntingly beautiful 'L'heure exquise' and touching 'Le mirior,' they are all part of this Thru The Years Volume I collection, including his very first recording, 'Lord's Prayer,' produced by Bing Crosby at Bing's home recording studio when Keith was just sixteen years old. Also here is his orchestra accompanied live-on-KFI  Radio recordings of the classic love songs, 'Iris' and 'Rose of the World.' These are two of several selections recorded during The Hollywood Bowl Auditions contest of 1949. That year Keith was the winner in the Mens Vocal category. Several opera selections can be found, including his first aria recording, 'Dio possente.' He was seventeen and a high-baritone at the time. The heart-breaking and rarely-recorded aria 'Lament of the Singer' is gorgeously rendered. Adding to these selections are four arias from Otello by Verdi. Keith considered 'Allmacht ger Vater' to be one of his best, it completes this collection of songs in English, Italian, French and German.
