If you like this Liszt song, please hear Thomas Hampson's recording. Hampson just sang the world premiere of a cycle of 5 songs in February 2011, inspired by Liszt's Petrarch Sonnets. The American Liszt Society, honoring the Liszt Bicentennial, commissioned William Bolcom to write a cycle using texts of 5 Petrarch Sonnets. The result, "Laura Sonnets," was superbly premiered by Mr. Hampson and pianist Craig Rutenberg at the 2011 ALS Festival at the University of Georgia, Athens.

It's like she emptied out her soul in this performance.

[AminaBellini]

[tenaciousgirl]

This is great help for us Opera divas wannabes. :D

Frech Art songs are great and this one is particularly beautiful. Dame Kiri te Kanawa is exceptional in her performance. I love it!

Kiri is one of the biggest bitches you could ever hope to meet. A truly self-serving, thoroughly horrible person. She treated other singers and staff at the theatre like dirt.

[AmericanEvita]

@ThePdex No, that was Kathleen Battle LOL

[angelitornado]

"Kirissima" LOL, I love that! One of my all time favorite pieces by my favorite artist.

[domi2020]

Simply sublime..there was one other occassion where she sang so magnificently and that was in Carneghie Hall in 1985. If anyone has this to upload it would be fantastic. Kirissima!!!
