[bobon47]

Great from greats

[ninoarobelidze]

Ferrier's version is simply heartbreaking

[c1885]

Superbe voix retenue, loin des emphases inutiles.

[Fleur192]

Yes, most touching and gentle Gretchen... This and Meta Seinemeyer's are my favourite versions.

[Ceighty76]

What key is she singing in? anyone know?

[abracadabranque]

@Ceighty76 La bémol,ce me semble,A flat.

[amadorbuda]

@Ceighty76  she is singing in a minor. A Moll la minor

[SugarTomAppleRoger]

Who is the pianist? 

[mirlitonneux]

I don't think I can say this is the best rendition of this aria, for it is clearly not what one would expect, but Kathleen Ferrier is without doubt the most original and touching Gretchen I've ever heard.
