Barbara Hendricks is one of the greatest voices of today, able to sing beautifully Mozart as well as Ellignton Duke, Schubert as well as the songs that she was used to hearing in her childhood: negro spiritual. Present for for over thirty years in all the great theaters of the world, she always participates when there is an opportunity to struggle against the great injustices in the world. Far from the clichés of the diva, this woman with her divine voice is an insatiable globetrotter, an resolved activist, a woman of today.
