My God, so beautiful, so full of pathos. I have to say that Destinn is my very favorite of all the sopranos. At age 43, she had had a life full of hardship, especially when she went back to Europe during WW I. When she returned to the US after the war it was not to a warm welcome. The Met no longer wanted her with so many young stars, like Ponselle. For a long time nearly forgotten, seems to be undergoing a resurrection thanks to YT. Thanks for sharing her wonder.
