It took me a moment to adjust to this music in Italian but Zeani's intensity made it seamless. I just adore this woman. Thank you for another video that I can enjoy on those evenings when I do a Zeani buffet and spend hours listening to her.

Thank you so much. I've already heard her in this frighteningly desperate role, thanks to you, of course. She has managed to portray the existential anxiety of the heroine utterly convincingly and with dazzling verisimilitude.
