JoAnn Ottley: Retrospective [CD] - JoAnn Ottley

JoAnn Ottley, with the Utah Symphony, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and pianist Reid Nibley.

Perhaps no singer in modern times has thrilled more Utah audiences than JoAnn Ottley. Trained on the Continent, she reached a career crossroads in Europe and decided to return home to the Mountain West to share her talent. Mrs. Ottley has assisted producer Robert Cundick in identifying and collecting favorite examples from the decades of her stunning career and has also cooperated with her friend, music professor Thomas Durham of BYU, to provide accurate background information and a marvelous wide-ranging interview. This career collection is a must for all Utah music aficionados. Part of Tantara's Heritage Series.
