The renowned Canadian singer Maureen Forrester is the owner of one of the most distinctive contralto voices of her generation. Chosen by Bruno Walter, a protege of Gustav Mahler, for the contralto role in the composer's Resurrection Symphony at Carnegie Hall in 1957, she followed up that New York Philharmonic performance with many others, under a wide range of leading conductors. Regarded by Walter and others as the successor to Kathleen Ferrier, she excelled in Mahler, but was also known for her roles in opera and oratorio, as well as in Broadway musicals.
