Désirée Records is Australia's premiere independent company honouring the great singers from the past. This new release has already become a Best Seller! 

For over three decades, the name of Jenifer Eddy was foremost in the Australian opera scene as the major Artist Manager. Her stable of artists became household names under her guidance and Jenifer Eddy Artists’ Management boasted the crème de la crème operatic celebrities. What was little known was that Jenifer Eddy had experienced the journey of a singer, on an international level, first hand. Her career as a brilliant coloratura and soubrette soprano had taken her to the major opera houses of the United Kingdom and throughout Europe. Her on-stage colleagues included some of the finest and admired performers of the second half of last century. In 1967, Harold Rosenthal, the long-time editor of Opera, wrote “She is without doubt the best British soubrette of our time”. Indeed, Jenifer’s private collection of off-air broadcast recordings and immaculately preserved printed reviews in her scrapbooks, attest to a singer at the forefront of a career. The ease of her performances, her delivery of text, her poise, pin-point accuracy of coloratura and the sweet beauty of her voice provides a magic which is not heard in the present day. She packed into her fifteen years on the operatic stage what reads like twice the amount of performances of any other soprano of this voice type. What seemed to be the perfect career, flying high, came to a sudden halt in 1969 due to a physical condition which remained undiagnosed for almost five years. The correct diagnosis came in 1974, in London, and Jenifer closed the door to her singing career and returned to Melbourne, Australia, in March 1975. A month later she started Jenifer Eddy Artists’ Management (JEAM).  Despite the relative shortness of her performing career, Jenifer Eddy was, without doubt, a major artist in the history of Australian voices.

It's a 3CD set with 48 page booklet complete with complete biography, career highlights and rare photographs from the artist's personal collection - mounted in the lavish CD Book format.
