Idéale audience

Kathleen Ferrier

“Kathleen Ferrier” is about the distinctive English contralto, Kathleen Ferrier (1912-1953), and, in particular, her enduring musical legacy today. Intertwined with evocations of her greatest performances, the film will leave no doubt as to her specialness as a person and her being one of the truly great singers of the past century.
