Sometimes I despair at the Human Race, but when I listen to Kathleen Ferrier, my faith is restored, she IS magical.

[mariveneta]

This is the most touching performance of the song I've ever heard!

[HenRisHently]

kippenvel zo ontzettend mooi bedankt .........

[Teddyb1939]

How can a voice cause tears in a grown man but Kathleen does it almost every time.Wonderful.

[oakroom48]

Oh my! Thank you, Igor - Joyeux Noël!

[petrof4056]

You too :-)

[musique0308]

Thank you Igor, beautiful and very touching

[InBoccaChiusa]

Exquisitely simple, simply exquisite. The voice is so glorious, the orchestra almost seems to intrude. One has to go back almost half a century, to hear something comparable to this ("Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht" sung by Ernestine Schumann-Heink).

Beautiful, simply beautiful!

Ferrier knew how to touch the soul with

warmth, dignity, and simplicity! Thank

you for the beautiful gift!

@Kievest And she had a wonderful sense of humour too!! What A woman. She died too young. Blackburn Museum has a lot of her possessions. Sometimes they are in the archives and not on view. XX

[Herur22]

Truly moving, especially thinking that she died the next year. Thank you very much for this special contribution.

[Glenmed]

Lump in throat. It won't happen if I listen again. It did. So moving - so beautiful.

[papidou1934]

Vraiment émouvant, merci beaucoup Igor.

[Memale2009]

Oui, je le trouve aussi. Cette voix correspond bien au message de la chanson.

[petrof4056]

Oui tout à fait! Et je compte bien remettre cet enregistrement PENDANT le soir de Noël au dîner avec mes parents. :-)))

[Memale2009]

Vous avez tout à fait raison! Cette chanson créera une atmosphère solennelle.

[joanabanyeres]

Nous serons seuls avec nos 3 chats. Toute ma famille est dispersée.,

je l'écouterai pour n'être pas trop déprimée et voyagerai avec les anges.-

[alainwilliam]

[joanabanyeres]

[KILLERADVICE]

Il y a des artistes qui sont excellents et justes dans tous les répertoires. Ferrier en fait partie assurément.

[petrof4056]

Exactement, et c'est très très rare de briller dans tout répertoire chez n'importe quel compositeur!
