About

Florence Foster Jenkins’ gravestone inscription reads: “People may say I can’t sing, but no one can ever say I didn’t sing.” Her sell-out performances are best described as having been oddball, bizarre and kitschy: the self-proclaimed singer Florence Foster Jenkins was a New York curiosity during the first decade of the 20th century and although her audiences had a great time, she was never acknowledged as an artist to be taken seriously. Florence's firm belief in her own talents and prowess was unshakeable, however.

Unfortunately, only a few recordings of Florence Foster Jenkins’ vocal art have survived the passage of time, so that posterity has only been blessed with a small number of samples of this equally unique and outlandish soprano.

This new Florence Foster Jenkins CD - 'Der Hölle Rache' - contains eight Jenkins performances accompanied by composer/pianist Cosme McMoon.
