Loved this up to the "spoon-fed" remark. Cmon guys, always respect your audience!

Aye, lass, how ye gae so near and dear to mae heart!

@MissBroadwayDork You know, don't worry about the negative comments. I bet your fans outnumber your detractors by at least 1 trillion to one.

You really know how to present a song! Very well done.

@WikeddTung Hi. I've been trying reply, but for some reason it's not going through, I' ll try again. I checked out your recommendation and agree Patrick Wilson has a very good voice. Maybe is was just the setting in which he was singing (intimate), but I felt he needed to project more. Aspire to ...

Every video of John Raitt I've seen on Youtube shows his ability to deliver a song in character . I don't understand those who feel his acting was lacking.

I am an old sentimental fool... I still hold Deana Durbin's version close to my heart always.

I hate going into these archives...they undermine everything I thought I knew about singing and performance! Blast ye magnificent ghosts!

@eduardcterapeuta I am on a fence about this. Mlle Moser's voice leaves me dumbstruck, but I love Diana Damrau's 2003 London performance so much, it was perfection itself. However, Edda Moser is a standard of singing and has influenced countless others behind her. Happily, in this case, I can lov...

@Oerni93 I understand your comment, but I LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!!!! (oh yeah, let us not forget Edda Moser, either)

@operalover9001 She rises above all. She is phenomenal

This shows what a premium voice is: rare, perfect control and command of her range, spot on phrasing and notation, character interpretion that makes one hard to argue that there is anyone better. Must I go on?

@Themittens2010 I am not convinced by your childish response. If you feel Diana Dambrau's performance is not up to your standards, then say so. Then, I'll respect your response to MidniteHasStruck. And hopefully your training, ambition and natural talent will show us nonbelievers that you were ri...

@Meanman332 In case my earlier response didn't post I shall reiterate: I publically and openly defer to your argument and respect your opinion (of course, I stand firmly by my position as I feel you do as well,,, ;)

@anonA2Z I agree with you so much. I find that I cannot stop replaying is posting over and over again!

@jennythemusicmaker LOL loved your comment

Does anybody have anyposts for The Abduction of Figaro? Specifically,the "Talkin' about Love" quartet or the "Standing as in a Dream"? These pieces are musically brilliant as much of Schickele's work is, and they have haunted me for over twenty-five years.

I've always loved this production and the increbile singers. I thought I would see it again. Thank you so much for posting it. What a treat!

I had this video over twenty years ago, lent it out and lost it. You cannot imagine how long I searched for this again. Thank you so, so much for posting this!

You have a nice style. I think you will do very well singing Sondheim.

Play it for laughs! Enjoy yourself, otherwise it gets too cumbersome!

Not only do you have a great voice, your presentation of the song is beautiful and singular. I could probably recognize a recording of yours aurally because you have developed a recognizable style that leaves the listener wanting to hear more. And finally, just watching you sing is a pleasure be...

This should be included in the list of the most beautiful choreagraphies on film. I even think Balanchine would approve.

If the current generation can keep up this level of artistic quality, then there is still hope for the human soul. We must not follow only one direction: rather we must be a fountainhead and spring forth 360 degrees. If we only acheive 359, then we have lost too much..

Patti shows why she is force to be reckoned with. Such a great Lady!
