For the first of our Stage podcasts, I was lucky enough to join Lesley Garrett in her dressing room at the London Palladium for a chat about her new album, When I Fall In Love, and much more.
The new album, produced and orchestrated by Tolga Kashif, is a celebration of love “in all its forms”. Her first studio album for three years, it formed the basis for a discussion that talked about the challenges in choosing whether to sing operas in English or the composer’s original language, how she and Kashif arrived at the music choices and orchestrations, as well as musical TV talent shows, from Fame Academy and Soapstar Superstar to How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, used to select Connie Fisher as Garrett’s costar in The Sound of Music.
