This is one of my favorite songs from Passion, and one of my favorite Sondheim songs in general. The lyrics are just astounding. And I agree, it is a tough song to do out of context! But you did it justice. Good work!
I wish I had a thesaurus handy, because 'gorgeous' isn't nearly adequate to describe this performance but it's the only thing coming to mind right now. Those haunting lyrics, sung with such raw (but never overdone) emotion, with a voice as clear as a bell...what a wonderful treat!
Ah, I'd be your Giorgio anytime, Alex. You are a magnificent Fosca. I would love to see you on stage with your locket.
You know what ? You should do a complete amateur recording of the whole passion score with other talented singers, I would love to listen to that (I listen to Passion at least once a week, it is my most beloved Sondheim score hence probably my favorite musical...).
You are, as always, beautiful. I wish we had a personal connection, for then I could say I knew you when! You are very well suited to Sondheim... a greater compliment I cannot offer.
Oh Alex, what is there to say? You move me, and the rest of the world, every time you sing. We are continuously changed and deeply affected by your interpretations and I truly and wholly wish you the brightest of futures! xx
Your performances are the best thing on You Tube. You commit so fully to every song you perform and your voice is sublime and that is what makes you SO compelling. I still think you would do an amazing interpretation of 'Being Alive'. I would love love love to hear that! Thank you for putting your talent out there for us all to enjoy.x
I wish youtube had a "love" button.
And I never knew that about the show. Leave it to James Lapine to make references like that.

okay, so you're really good at singing and stuff. Found this by accident, and you're operatic and pitchlovely and any manner of superlatives.
