This double recital, recorded on 9 November 1969 at the Berlin Philharmonic, takes place at a very special time in Sarah Vaughan's life.
To everyone's astonishment, the small, awkward 45-year-old gave one of the most masterful stage performances of her career that could be captured on tape. In almost two hours she silenced all misgivings by proving how her approach to music remained eminently topical. Surrounded with an elegance as discreet as it is stimulating by a trio that is a master in the art of understatement, free of mannerisms, still as virtuosic as ever, developing her vocal technique to its highest degree throughout her incredible tessitura, between naturalness and sophistication, simplicity and refinement, Sarah Vaughan shakes things up. Sarah Vaughan resolutely favours sentimental melodies, making her warm, supple, suave and swinging voice the ultra-sensitive seismograph of the whole range of mixed feelings...

SARAH VAUGHAN

LIVE AT THE BERLIN PHILHARMONIE 1969

The story of this discovery

"I thought I knew about this concert of the Divine during the Berlin Jazztage - through video. I remember being totally captivated by her performance but regretted the rather disappointing sound quality. During our first trip to the Berlin radio, this concert appears in the RBB archives lists. To our great surprise, four tapes of approximately 35 minutes each are listed. This is twice longer than we expected! We decide to listen to the original analog tapes. The sound is striking! And above all, 10 tracks are completely unreleased! When this album were released on vinyl, music critics and collectors around the world were fascinated by Vaughan's incredible vocal performance and by the quality of our work. Our label took on another dimension and other archives invited us to collaborate..."

“The care put into this edition and the quality of the musical material proposed, in this double album, is one of the major testimonies of the Divine”

"It sure is a nice felling to know that people will remember you after you're gone, that you'll manage to be a little bit of history"
