Not only did she possess a naturally beautiful voice but she also had the qualities of a truly great singer: technique, perfect intonation and clarity of each word she sang coupled with a marvellous sense of theatre, always to the service of the composer’s written score. One of her most beloved friends was the conductor Craig Smith who sadly died last year. He was a key figure in putting Lorraine onto the world stage, inviting her back for performances of works by Bach and Handel at the Emmanuel Church in Boston during the 1980’s and 1990’s before she became one of the most sought after performers in the world.
