@arpeggio1358 Yes, but one could also say that the existence of that beautiful voice in the first place was an argument for the existence of God. Beauty, like life itself, is fleetingly transitory. Memento mori.

@hughmackie I feel the same way. Luxon is my favorite baritone, and I feel such sadness that his voice was stilled way too early. I treasure every recording of his that exists.

Absolutely Beautiful performance. What a great voice, used to perfection. Touches the heart strings. See also Pfizerpfonics performance of Scotland's great song, The Bonnie Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond. Thanks for posting this gem.
Glad you enjoyed it. Since you seem to like Renee Fleming as well, I posted a powerful performance of Amazing Grace she gave at the World Trade Center a month after 9/11.
