On Tuesday 21st May 2024, we chatted to Louise Dearman about the one-off concert, Hallé - Tony Bennett: the Music and Songs of a Legend, taking place at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester on Saturday 25th May 2024.
From his recording debut in the 1950s to his collaboration with Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett’s seventy-year career has been characterised by class, style and an ear for a great song.
In this spectacular programme, conductor Richard Balcombe, the Hallé and vocal stars Lance Ellington and Louise Dearman perform the songs that made Bennett a star.
Including: The Good Life, I Left My Heart in San Francisco, Fly Me to the Moon, For Once in My Life, Smile, Lullaby of Broadway, Cheek to Cheek, How Do You Keep the Music Playing? and many many more ….
‘I don’t follow the latest fashions. I never sing a song that’s badly written. Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer and others just created the best songs that had ever been written. These are classics, and finally they’re not being treated as light entertainment. This is classical music.’ Tony Bennett, 2010.
