Именно так: десять дисков со всем, что Билли Холидей записала на Verve Records между 1945 и ее смертью в 1959 - здесь не только песни, но и концертные представления, некоторые репетиции, а также разговоры между записями. Все это способствует созданию точнейшего портрета Леди Дэй в ее последние годы. Долгое время эти записи были очернены, потому что говорили, что ее голос больше не мягкий и нежный, он был разрушен тяжелой жизнью, тюрьмой, спиртным и наркотиками. И без сомнения, ее поздний тон темнее, он более хрупкий и нетвердый, нежели в 30-х, но почему-то я слушаю эту музыку чаще, чем записи на лейблах Columbia или Decca в ранние годы. Подобно Фрэнку Синатре, который так часто отдавал дань уважения ее влиянию, артистичность Холидей никогда не была основана на виртуозности; дело было в интерпретации, привнесении эмоций в песню и собственное прочтение. Так она делать никогда не прекращала, и для всех "странных фруктов", которые вы найдете в этой коллекции, это золотая жила.

That's right: Ten CDs with everything Billie Holiday recorded on Verve Records between 1945 and her death in 1959--not only the songs, but concert introductions, some of the rehearsals, and between-take studio chatter, too. All of which makes for a definitive portrait of Lady Day in her final years. For a long time these recordings were disparaged because it was said her voice was no longer fine and mellow, "ravaged" by hard living, jail time, booze, and drugs. And there's no question that her later tone is darker, more brittle and unstable than it had been in the '30s--but somehow I find myself listening to this music more often than those Brunswick/Columbia or Decca sides, anyway. Like Frank Sinatra, who so often paid tribute to her influence, Holiday's artistry was never based on virtuosity; it was about interpretation, bringing out the emotions in a song and giving a personal reading. She never stopped doing that, and for all the "strange fruit" you'll find in this collection, it's a gold mine.
