Marvelous! I'm just reading Alma Gluck's daughter, Marcia Davenport's autobiography , " Too Strong for Fantasy" published in the late 60's. In the book she laments how hard it is to obtain her mother's records. But thanks to YouTube and people like yourself, today these great artist can be heard again. Thank you!!!

@blessOTMA Thank you very much! Yes, that is one of the wonders of cyberworld. Let's hope it remains with us. You are right. Alma Gluck is very well represented on Youtube. It's a joy to see all these singers from the past gain new life in the 21st century!

Sweet solemn and purity of sound. These voices and the words elevates our souls to the Creator of the art of singing.

I think, that it is the "Naturally" beautiful singing, as in this lovely duet, that has become 'The Lost Art". Thanks Edmond , simply beautiful.

Beautiful, light and charming...

@SuperLuckydream Thank you very much. Yes, they were wonderful, especially when they sang together. They made a fair number of religious duets. They were greatly loved singers.

A sweet remembrance of the lost art of duet singing. Perfect blend of style and production. Lest it be thought that they recorded only hymns, they also recorded the duet from Rossini's Stabat Mater.

@Bivolari Thank you very much, Stephen, always a pleasure to hear from you. Two of my all time favorite singers!
